The Good-bye

Sunny was heartbroken that B.J. had to leave. She hung on tight around his neck until I peeled her off. She cried for a solid hour. Jackson appeared to be okay at first. Then he turned to me and said, "I think I might feel like crying". When we put them to bed Sunny prayed that they wouldn't be so sad anymore and they both laid down. I went and got in the bath and I could hear them both just laying in bed sobbing. We ended up sleeping downstairs on the floor and watching Nemo to take their minds off of it.

Right after this Sunny turned to me and said "I hate Florida, B.J. needs to stay here with me."

We are so happy Uncle B.J. was able to come visit. He is so much fun and they kids love him so much. I'll admit I cried as much as they did when he left. He is so nice to have around. We wish he could come more often!

The rest of Uncle B.J.'s trip

Sunny loves her Uncle B.J. so much. She is completely attached to him.

The classic "No Paparazzi" pose.

Mean faces.

B.J. spiked Jackson's hair so they would match. Both kids also wore jeans with holes in them all week to match B.J. (He is known for holey-how do you spell that ?- jeans).

They spent a lot of time like this.

...and like this.

...and Sunny usually looked like this.

Again with the "No Paparazzi" thing. (It's hilarious when you hear Jackson say it with a bit of a speech impediment.)

The majority of the time was spent playing wii. Several days they played for 12 hours.

Spring Dresses

Nancy made the girls matching(ish) spring dresses. They were so cute. Lila was a grouch, we think she has been getting several teeth at once and it must hurt. She is driving us crazy this week.

Big Bro and Sis before church. Jax was so proud of his new church outfit from Mok.

What's really tougher than a bomb?

Again, according to Jax...

Lightning!

What's tougher than a bomb?

Well, according to Jackson....



Shark teeth!

Uncle B.J. aka "All-Star"

Just a small update from B.J.'s week here. The kids are in Heaven. Really! It is the sweetest thing ever. They are so excited to be with him and so happy all the time. They were watching cartoons together all piled up on the couch.

Learning how to play b-ball.

I knew Jax would be thrilled that B.J. was here, but I was surprised at how excited Sunny is. She can't get enough of him. Every night she has been snuggling with him and crawling all over him. (And sharing her coughs and sneezes --yuck)

Uncle B.J. is Coming TODAY!!!

Yea, it is finally here. The kids have been counting down forever, and now his plane is 2 hours delayed. But, he is coming and that is all that matters. So, here is my funny story for the day:

We told the kids that after Primary we would meet them by the blue chairs in the foyer. I told Jackson to pick up Sunny from her class and then me and Daddy would come. After that we would take them to Mimi and Bear's and they would all go to the airport to get B.J.

So, after church Ryan goes out to the foyer to wait for the kids and they are already there. Sitting and holding hands. The problem is that none of the other Primary kids were out of class yet. Ryan asked them what they were doing and they said they had been waiting a long time b/c I said to meet them their. Apparently after the first hour of Primary Jax went and picked up Sunny and they sat there waiting by the blue chairs for the whole next hour! A couple of adults saw them and asked what they were doing. The kids said they were waiting for me and Ryan, and because they were behaving so well and waiting so quietly everyone thought they were right and they were supposed to be there.

Note to self: Explain how long Primary lasts, and that we do not leave class early and pick up our sister because we are so excited to go to the airport to get Uncle B.J.

I love my kids. They definitely keep us laughing all the time!
