A month worth of quotes and a few snap shots of our Sneaky Pillow Jumper.


(Slides make him happy)
-
O: Daddy, this toast is not tasty.
T: Oh yeah, what does it taste like?
O: Doors and trees. (referring to whole wheat bread)
-
O: Mmmm-ooo-mmmm-mmmm-yyyyyyy!
T: It’s time to sleep. You don’t get a second book tonight.
O: I want mommy- I want to read.
T: You lost your chance tonight.
O: I want my chance back.
-

O: Mom, these flowers are for you.
(And these are the most beautiful “flowers” I have ever received- look at that face!)
-
O: Hey, I am going to ride my bike to Target.
R: All the way from our house.
O: Yep- to get toys.
-
O: The bees make the honey. Then we go to WalMart and buy it.
-

(Ask him to pose- this is what you get. And according to O- all sharks have two fins.)
-
T: Where is the remote?
O: I ate it.
-
O: Mom, where did these Cheetos come from?
M: Dillons
O: Who got them?
M: I did.
O: Oh, there are lots of special things at Dillons.
-

(Look who got stuck then couldn’t figure out how to open the latch to the dog crate.)
-
O: Where is daddy?
R: Downtown- working.
O: No, daddy is at his workshop.
R: He is?  What workshop?
O: At the north pole.  He works at Santa’s workshop.
R: Really?  I didn’t know that.
O:  Yeah, at Santa’s workshop.
(Pause) When I grow up I am going to be Santa.
-
O: Papa, my tummy is getting tired.
-

-
O: Cows make milk. Chocolate cows make chocolate milk. And apple cows make apples.
-
O: Mommy, make that dragon talk.
(Mouthing with the toy dragon)
O: EAT YOUR FRIES.
(He is into a ventriloquism thing.)
-
At a youth leadership meeting:
T: Owen, do you have a question?
O: Yes. I like spiderman.
-
O: Mom look, all of my animals. (Looking at 4 of his stuffed toys)
R: Yep, and who are those animals?
O: This is the daddy, this is the mommy, this is the boyfriend, and this is the baby.
R: Whoa, the boyfriend?
O: Uh-huh, the boyfriend.
(Really? The boyfriend? Whose family is he modeling?)

-


O: Kyah?….K….Y….A….H?..KKKKKKKYYYYYYAAAAAAAHHHHHHH?
R: Are you looking for your friend or your dragon?
O: My friend. I need to see her today.

(Getting a 3 year old to smile AND look camera= difficult.
Getting two 3 yr olds to do it= one of ten pics that turn out like this.)
-
O: Ok, you be the rabbit and I will be the snake.
R: So does that mean you are going to eat me?
O: Yes, I saw it on yourtube.
-
O: Mom, do you like the orange one or the black one?
R: The black one.
O: No, the ORANGE or the black one? (Holding the orange toy out to me.  Guess he likes the black one.)
-

-
Honestly, he says more things then I can keep up with. Just amazing (and scary) how he absorbs everything.
I love this kid- and can’t imagine life without him in it. Really, what did we do before he was around to entertain us?

This shot is for Nana & Papa.

(FYI- this is O’s “smile for the camera” pose.  It’s hard to get a shot with eyes open & a smile.)

Oh Happy Day! January 1, 2010

Filed under: Dreams,Sneaky Pillow Jumper,Update — sneakypillowjumper @ 2:46 PM

O was so happy to have these pancakes for breakfast this morning. Really he loves the chocolate sauce the best.
We are working on spelling his name- so anything with an O must be his name (even though these are zeros.)

2010 pancakes 2

The beginning of a new year(/decade) always bring renewed HOPE- and a time of reflection of how much we have grown.
The last decade has had so many milestones in my life & my family’s-
-Married (8 1/2 years now!)
-1st Anniversary Beagle- Britain will be 8 years old this spring
-Bought a little house & updating of said house
-Became an aunt- a few times (and a sister-in-law/sister-cousin-in law a few times)
-Graduated college
-Got knocked up & survived a not fun/short pregnancy
-Became a Mommy & T a Daddy
-Premie born at 32 weeks- you wouldn’t even know he was only 3 lbs if you saw him today
-Raised/Parented an energetic 3 year old- AND SURVIVED!
-T started school
-O started preschool (and hit so many milestones a baby book won’t hold them all- smile, laugh, sit-up, crawl, walk, hold own bottle, drink out of cup, eat solids, talk, talk, talk, hop, run, jump (Sneaky Pillow Jump), etc.)
-Layed-off & pursuit of teaching career/Masters degree
-Diagnosis of rare tumor (Ocular Melanoma)- so if my left eye looks weird you know why
-Successful radiation treatment & great prognosis- TAKE THAT CANCER!
-8 years of ministry (for T & me as a pastor’s wife)
-New babies for family & friends, so many weddings I can’t count, the passing of some amazing family members (my Papa Johnson & Grandma Elsie) & friends who will not be forgotten, and of course some major world events that shape how we serve others today
-Survived a lot of bumps, bruises, and heartbreaks ->
-Celebrated even more happy moments, memories, and new friendships

I have goals for the next year (and decade)- but really they are my dreams.  Some are typical, some are personal, and some may even be unrealistic- but that won’t stop me from dreaming.  Maybe I’ll share them sometime- they are a work in progress- always will be.

Happy 2010- however you say it.
And best wishing to making your dreams come true.

Dreaming BIG-

Sneaky Pillow Jumper, Huh? November 30, 2009

Filed under: Sneaky Pillow Jumper — sneakypillowjumper @ 3:32 AM

Been thinking about doing a blog “journal” for a while.  I am not a writer- so the idea of doing one was not on the top of my priority list.  However, I like recording the funny things that Owen does.

 

The bed SPJ attacks daily

I am the mom to the Sneaky Pillow Jumper- SPJ is actually a 3 years old boy and jumping into or off of anything he can, whenever he can.  For the last year or so he has decided that messing up a newly made bed, with the pillows arranged, is a simple pleasure he cannot resist.  We started calling him our “sneaky pillow jumper” and both he and our niece now use the nickname as a verb.

 

 

Going for it

Out of nowhere O (SPJ)- will come running, yelling “Ssssnneaky pillow jumper”- and the pillows fling in every direction.   Not quite a super hero.  Although the super man game- where we lift him with our feet and let him fall into pillow mountain is requested often.  I make sure the bed is made everyday- not for the sake of good housekeeping- but for the few minutes everyday where I get to play with my Sneaky Pillow Jumper.

 

 

Mission accomplished

So that is where the name came from.

 

Thought I would include some random thoughts from time to time and post some of the recipes that people ask me for instead of having to email them out.  Maybe someone will read it- otherwise it will be a digital journal of our lives- my husband, myself, and Owen (SPJ).  (And maybe our allergic to everything, slightly overweight, cherry-eyed beagle, Britain).
