Jayden's going to Living Faith this week!

Just last week Zion started a new school, Living Faith Preschool. He hasn't decided if he likes it or not so each day Manuel's on pins an needles when it's time to drop him off. This week the boys and girls club is closed so Jayden is going to the school kids program at Zion's school. When Zion heard this he was so excited. Zion: "I'll show you around my school bubba, I'll show you where the bathroom and the water fountain is. K bubba? K?". Monday arrived and Manuel dropped the two off without a hitch. When he arrived to pick them up later that afternoon, Mrs. Sheila, the director called Manuel into her office and said she had a funny story to tell him. Apparently, throughout the day, Zion had been sneaking down to Jayden's room to "check on him" lol. Is that not the sweetest thing.

Jayden's in Little Rock with out us this week.....

Jayden has been asking to spend a week with my sister and neice in Little Rock since they moved there 3 years ago. Normally we have so much going on in the summer with his sports and our venture see the world that we just don't get around to it. Well, this summer I started trying to fit it his early on and this week Jayden's in Little Rock with Latrice and Miracle. Patrice, Zion, and I took him down last Friday and when we got ready to head home Saturday as we were driving away, Zion screams, "Wait! You forgot bubba!" I continued to drive and explained to him that Jayden would be staying with Miracle a week.
Zion: But I want to stay too.
Me: Zion you can't, you have to keep mommy company.
Zion: But what about bubba?
Me: What about him, Miracle and Angel will keep him company.
Zion: NO who's going to take care of him?
Me: Aunt Trees
Zion: But he's going to die
Me: No Zion, he'll be just fine, he's not going to die. Do you believe that god is everywhere?
Zion: Yes
Me: Well, we'll just pray that god watches over Jayden while we can't see him ok?
Zion: fine

Awwwwwww isn't that baby sweet

Baseball is his middle name baby! You can call me JWhit

Jayden had a slow start to the baseball season, barely hitting and even being 2nd to the last to bat on the roster. Manuel took him to the batting cages a couple times and he spent an afternoon with his older cousin, Christian, getting pointers and all of a sudden JWhit was born. That child is hitting everything, good solid ground balls. He has been moved up to 2nd in the line up now. He is by far their most consistant hitter. This past week, we had a runner on first, there was not time left on the clock, the game was tied, and we had two outs. It was Jayden's turn to bat. I was about to throw up I was so nervous for him!!!! My baby walked up to the plate without any reservations as calm and relaxed as I've ever seen him in a game and put a hit on that ball so hard that it went all the way to the fence. Once the runner on 1st came home the game was over and they WON! Go JWhit, GO JWhit.......

Call me Jeff

Sunday the family got together at Bob's house for dinner. While they were finishing up the food, Zion and I walked over to the church playground to play. Zion looked up at me and said:
Zion: Mom, what's my name?
Me: Zion Elijah Whitmore
Zion: Why did you name me that?
Me: Because I think it's an awesome name
Zion: I don't like that name.... from now on call me Jeff!
Me: Jeff?
Zion: Yeah, Jeff, call me Jeff
Me: Ok Jeff

I'm all aout free expression so I thought it was the cutest thing ever so I started calling him Jeff. When we went back to the house as we walked through the door, he announced to everyone that his new name was "Jeff" and that he would not answer to anything else. Let me tell you, he was not kidding, he totally ignored any comment that was directed at Zion and only listened when we called him Jeff....

Kids, got to love em.
