Friday
Jett's last day of school was yesterday so he will be with Jarrod all summer. I called him today to see how Daddy Day Care was going he laughed and said everything was great except for the sound effects...Jett's sound effects to whatever boat, airplane, truck or tractor he is driving/flying. I think little boys are born with the skill of sound effects, whenever I try to make the sounds when we are playing he tells me no Mommy that's not right...O well
This weekend I will put pictures up...maybe even the Hawaii ones if I can find them....Come on 5 o'clock Margarita time!!!

An Awful Reminder
Wednesday
I took Jett to Casa Ole to celebrate the end of school while we were waiting on his chocolate chip cookie to finish being made. It was so nice to have that special little time to talk about school, what he learned today, and what ever else he wants to discuss. As I paid the bill I noticed a flyer about a little three year old boy that had passed away. As I read closer I realized I knew they parents I called Jarrod to tell him and he called the father of the boy. The family had been BBQing and the Dad lost sight of the boy for about 8 minutes. They immediately ran the the tank and didn't see him so they searched in the barns, the house, the trucks and realized their worst fear. After swimming around the tank about 30 times they still couldn't find him. By this time the Uncle , friends and neighbors started helping, someone had started skimming the bottom with a net a they found him. We went to the visitation yesterday with Jett to pay our respects and before we arrived I told Jett what happened and how important it was to listen to your parents and stay away from water with out adults with him. Jett said Mommy he died? I said yes baby, he thought a minute and said well I guess he gets to see Jesus. What a horrible tragedy that could have been prevented, please don't let this little boy's death be in vain.

The Great Bike Race
Monday
I was extremely stressed out about work today so when I got home I asked Jarrod and Jett if they wanted to join me on a bike ride. So 5 minutes later we are on the way...I have to say there is nothing more precious than a four year old on his little John Deere bike peddling as fast as he can, while the helmet keeps slipping down his face...there is NO QUIT in that boy, he tried so hard to keep up. We were on the back side of our place and he wanted to race so we take off from the corner and race to the gate about 1/4 mile away...he won! Needless to say all stress gone and replaced by genuine joy.

Jett the "Mack Daddy"
Friday/Saturday
This weekend for Mother's Day Jarrod, Jett, and I went camping at Coleto. We went out on the boat and kneeboarded, played in the water, rode bikes and had wonderful time. My brother Will and my Parents came out Saturday to join us. You know how you always wonder how your kiddo acts when your not around well I found out. My Dad took Jett to the playground and noticed him talking to this cute little girl. Dad said he sneaked around to get closer to hear what they were talking about. Jett saw his "Bub" and stopped talking to the girl and turned towards Bub and said you go over there I'm busy. Dad said it was the cutest thing ,Jett was busy talking to this cute little girl and leaning on the tree like he was bellied up to the bar. So Sunday morning while Jarrod and I were paking the camp up Jett asked if he could ride his bike around we noticed he kept riding in front of the one camp site. There was another little girl over there that was playing with her older brother. Jett would ride by and put his feet on the handle bars then come back by stop and pretend to fix his bike and look to see if the little girl was looking. Jarrod and I laughed so hard. I got one picture of him checkion gout the little girl.( I will post later.)
Sunday
Mom fixed dinner and we all went over to her house, Grandma and John, Will, Haley, Mom, Dad Jett, Jarrod and I . Oh the food was so good....Grandma made strawberry pies and her famous chicken gravy, Mom made chicken nuggets, rice and potatoes salad, I made the broccli salad recipe I got from Houston. YUM-YUM
