Need Help?

Saturday Morning after Manuel was getting ready to head off to work, but decided to eat a bowl of cereal before he headed out and as he was attempting to pull the chair away from the table to sit down, both arms were full of stuff. Zion recognizing the struggle, said "Daddy, need help, need help Daddy?" and attentively awaited Maunel's response. Manuel said "no thank you so, daddy got it" Zion said "welcome" and walked away.

The things kids pick up

Jayden is really into Urban Wear, Slang, and Rap Music. Zion has become the biggest mocking bird you ever did see. So last night, I was making dinner and Zion said "cup momma, cup" in other words he wanted me to give him a cup of juice. My hands were dirty, so I said, "One sec Zion". He said "awight" translation.... slang for (all right)!

"Can I Momma"

Zion is really starting to put sentences together and it's the cutest thing. Sunday Night we came back from grocery shopping and Manuel and Jayden were unloading the car while I tried to occupy Zion. He had been instructed not to go outside the wash room into the garage, because we were afraid he'd end up in the street and get ran over. He wasn't being very obedient, so I made him stay with me. When Manuel and Jayden finished bringing in the groceries, as we were putting things away, Manuel noticed that he forgot to get something out of the car, so he was headed back out with Zion right on his heals. A slit second later, I guess Zion realized that he was about to do something I had instructed him not to do, so he turned back and over his shoulder said "Can I momma, can I?" and waited for my reply. I said "yes, Zion" He said "k" and continued after Manuel. I love it when they listen.

"Say What?"

The other day we were at my sister's house and she was having her car repaired by a Hispanic man. Once he got done he came to the door and explained to my sister what was wrong with it and what needed to be done. During the course of the conversation, Zion was at my sister's knee listening and looking up into the guy's face. When he was done explaining and waiting on my sister's response, Zion said "Say What?". We all rolled in laughter and the entire time we were laughing, he was looking at us like. "What?"

Oh the joys of SPRING BREAK

This Spring Break we decided to get in the car and drive the kids down to Atlanta for the week. We visited several places, The Coke Plant, CNN Studios (to which Jayden said.... "this is really lame"), the Georgia Aquarium, The Atlanta Zoo (both of which Jayden was in heaven, he loves animals), and the Underground Mall. All in all the trip was very nice. It was getting there that proved to be a challenge. Normally we fly everywhere, but just recently, Manuel seems to have some sort of block with flying so he refuses to do so. So, we rented a van to drive down. Jayden's response when he saw the van "ah, cool, I want one!". Kids...... We purchased a dual screen DVD Player for the car to keep the kids company. Zion decided that the TV was not interesting to him and he refused to watch it. For the entire 12 hrs he either screamed at the top of his lungs to hold Jayden's PSP and listen to music from there or he picked at Jayden, and Jayden yelled at the top of his lungs. Zion slept all of a hour and a half there and a hour and a half back. The rest of the time both of them were awake. I was so ready to get out of the car and hide under something. Pictures will be posted shortly.
