My Babe... He is AMAZING!
Here it... 
(look at that face... it shows dedication)
...COMES!!!
Team cheer, AWESOME first game! 
GO INDIANS!!! 
Jackee is in Machine Pitch, this is his 2nd year playing. The first year, 3 years ago didn't go so well BUT, I have high hope this year and he's playing for:
So, I have to admit... I'm not a HUGE NFL fan, I prefer college football and ML Baseball but my favorite thing to watch is THE BACHELOR! lol! Then I have Jaden, the BIGGEST sport fanatic out there!
I decided in advance that I did not want to go anywhere for the Superbowl. Ben had to work and I had Jaden & Jack. Besides, I am a baby about being home on Sunday afternoon / evenings! I love being in my jammies and ready for bed by 5:00...NO joke...
Anyway, about 5:30 I began to get a little sad. Here I was home watching the Super Bowl with No Friends and No junk food. All of a sudden something big happened in the game and Jaden went nuts! And that's when it hit me, this was right where I wanted to be!
Jaden has been 100% POSITIVE that Green Bay would WIN Super Bowl XLV, he was so sure that he placed a $5 bet with Grandpa Brad!
Little Jack fell asleep pretty early but not before he said "Mom, I know how to play football... you grab the ball, tackle everyone and touch your base!!!" It was the funniest! Anyway it ended up just being Jaden and I watching the game. Can I just say, this was the BEST Super Bowl I have EVER been part of! Jaden and I were a wreck when the Steelers decided to start playing. We were hoopin n hollerin and totally laughing at each other! But the funniest was watching Jaden stress about losing his $5.00. He kept saying, "oh man, I don't really have $5.00 to lose." When he caught me texting my Dad telling him Jaden was stressed, he flipped out! "I'm not stressed Mom, the Packers will win!" GeEz... pardon me! Anyway, he was right.
When they did win he said "Ha Ha, Grandpa was bragging all day that I was going to owe him five bucks and now, he owes me!!!" So, my Dad... just like his Dad... brought the $5.00 right over!
Thanks Jaders for making Super Bowl so fun! I love, love, love you!
to day NINE!!!
ONE...
TWO...
THREE, excited, tired and overwhelmed BOYS!
SEE... I told ya he got a phone! He was thrilled!!!
Daddy and Dean!
In mid November Jack brought this hat home. He said "Mom, I made this for Daddy and I want to wrap it for him for Christmas." I gave him the tape and paper (NO scissors of coarse since Jack is grounded til he's 21 from them) and let him go to town! I wish I had a picture of the HUGE box he wrapped it in and the beautiful wrapping job but I don't. Every time I though about Ben opening that gift I got more and more excited for Christmas. 
It must be a special day if we are opening bubblegum at 5 AM!
PROOF! It's that kind of day!
After we looked at everything Santa gave us, we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's.
Jack and Daddy
We spent a few hours at my Parent's house, headed home and Ben's Parent's came over!
Is this the BEST? I just LOVE these little Nerf Boys more than ANYTHING!
Last but not least, 
"Happy Christmas to all and to all, a GOOD-NIGHT"
