A New Day In My World

2 tidbits to file away for future “thinking back” times.

1) Aly loves In The Night Garden.  When it comes on the tv she screams “ight -outtttt…. ight outtttt Jaiden!” She then lays down on the couch/chair and sticks her little toddler arm in the air getting Jaiden to do the circles on it.  (If you have watched the show….the intro part where the baby/child is going to sleep.) It is so sweet to see.  Boy does she have him wrapped around that little chubby pinky.

2) (On Fri Jaiden and his school will be walking down the block to see the torch run on by..)While walking home today I told Jaiden to keep an eye out at the front because I saw on tv that they were giving out pop to some people.   He looked at me… oh they are giving it out to those who have nothing to drink? (ie. cannot afford a drink)  or for us when were tired? I tol dhim they were giving it out to whoever ended up getting it.  He said how his teacher probably wouldn’t like the kids having pop (noway??!!! LOL) but if he had the chance he’s hide away 3.  LMAO! One for him, one for daddy and one for me.  I am allowed to share if I want. (Alyssa).  LOL

so many more…no time to type.

I love my kids. :0)

Gotta get back into typing here.  I just haven’t had much to say.  Actually, maybe its more of not having time to type.

I love mail…don’t you?  (Granted its not bills!!!) In the last week I have damn near kissed the mailman.  LOL  I received 2 photo books, my personalized watch as well as the photo mouse-pad.  All things were unharmed in their travels and better than I had expected.  I’m still waiting on my 8×10’s (5) and another photo book.    One of the books I made was a compliation of old pics of Jai.  I have had these pics on disk forever….they are from a really crappy prehistoric webcam.  They are still pics though and although the quality is rather crappy, the memories the pics capture are there clear as day.

yay me…  yay you too if you got some awesome mail.

9 days until our city’s world is flipped upside down.  Ironically enough I  have a bday party to go to on the 13th….traveling in the chaos will be a blast!!

night!

Nothing to say, just filling in blankness.

its almost time of rhte city to go nuts.  Yippee!! (drenched in sarcasm)  I’m excited ot see all the people, not so much to deal w/them all.

aka, The world cup anthem.

?Talk about a catchy song!! Jai loves it, he can keep the beat pretty good too.  Here’s the video;

The artist is, K’naan.  I’ve listened to a few other of his songs, not too bad.  He is doing a concery here suring the 2010 games.  Jai seems ot think he;s buying a ticket to the show.  LMAO!! Crazy kid!

when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag

when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhho ahhho ahhho

born to a throne
stronger than rome
but violent prone
poor people zone
but its my home
all i have known
where i got grown
streets we would roam

out of the darkness
i came the farthest
among the hardest survive
learn form these streets
it can be bleak
accept no defeet
surrender retreat
(so we struggling)
fighting to eat
(and we wondering)
when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithful day
its not far away
but for now we say

when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)

ahhho ahhho ahhho

so many wars
settling scores
bring us promises
leaving us poor
i heard them say
love is the way
love is the answer
thats what they say

but look how they treat us
make us believers
we fight there battes
then they deceive us
try to control us
they couldn’t hold us

cause we just move forward
like buffalo soldiers
(but we strugglin)
fighting to eat
(and we wonderingg)
when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithfully day
its not far away
but for now we say

when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)

and then it goes when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhhooo ahhhoooo ahhhooo

and everybody will be singing it
and you and i will be singing it
and we all will be singing it
wo wah wo ah wo ah

when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)

and then it goes when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
a oh a oh a oh

when i get older
when i get older
i will be stronger

To be fair in the pic posting, here is a pic Jaiden took ages back. He got a digi cam for his bday but I haven’t uploaded any pics yet…the kids has TONS on it. This was take during a visit to the temple w/his grandparents. He loves going there…I do too.
Enjoy!
