{This boy of mine}....what can I say, where do I start. I really can't believe that he is going to be seventeen in a couple of weeks. I have really been struggling with the whole going to be a senior. I know that things change, kids move on, friends go their different ways. It makes me sad and the last few nights I have been pretty emotional. Jaden's best buddy of 14 years just got his mission call to Minnesota. I know that Jaden is going to have a hard time when he leaves, they do everything together and they just know that they have each other's back. Jaden makes me so proud, he got a job this summer and has been working his butt off, like 50 hours a week. I know that it is important for kids to learn how to work and become responsible so they can transition into the adult world. It is a hard age for this kid and I hope that he continues to make good decisions and choices...I love this boy.

I did it, I finally did it. Me and my kiddos decided it was time to go on a little vacation. Derek wasn't up to it, crowds, Disneyland, the beach is just not his thing so guess what I left him home and we had a ball. We took off with my parents and Rustin and his kiddos because Tiffany couldn't make it either. We were loaded to the max and the kids were super excited. We took off on a Thursday evening drove until we got to Primm and then let the kids out for a little break. My little man is usually not a good rider and likes to count the mile markers seeing that we ended driving over 1500 miles he gave up on that. We stayed at Embassy Suites which is located really close to Disneyland so we could shuttle back and forth which was really nice. More to come.....

So this little guy turned two....he has so much personality and is so fun to be around with his cute little smile and gorgeous brown eyes. Proud to call you my nephew.
