Funny Questions: Part 2

Sooooo...after reading the funny answers to the questions...... Jay became curious about what the kids would say if they were talking about "DAD" instead of "MOM".   Of course, I then decided it would be fun to see the differences.  So here we go:
Somebody on Facebook recently posted 23 questions to ask your kids and write down their answers. I thought it would be fun. So here are the questions and the answers. I asked them the questions when none of their siblings were with them so that the answers I would get would be their own, and I did it over a period of several days. (For those of you that need a reminder:Tanner is 11 1/2; Hunter is 10 1/2; Cassie is 8 1/2; Nathan is 8 1/2; Jayson is 8 1/2 ; and Bryan is 8 1/2)

5K Training

Six weeks and counting!!! Team JJ and the Six-Pack are going to run their first family 5K.  This morning we went out and ran a fun trail.  The kids did awesome! Some started out a little too fast, however, they all finished and still have energy.  I am so excited to do this together.  I want them to learn  that excercise can be fun and doing things together as a family is great too!!!  It was so great to see them encouraging each other and holding hands to finish this morning. Love these kids!!!

I got a good chuckle out of this and what can I say except...... "kids say the darnest things."  HAHAHA

Passing Out!!

This summer is going to go down in history as one of the weirdest for us.  1st the bird drama in the attic,  ( I have not blogged about it yet but trust me when I say it will make a great blog entry), surgery for Cassie, stitches for Jayson, Hunter passing out, van getting rear ended and climbing Mt Whitney (for me).  Again the last two will have to be blogged about later. 

Hunter passing out was truly odd.  It was 9:30 in the morning.  He got off the couch , remembers looking at Tanner and down he went.  Kids said he was crying when he was down....... but he says the world went completely black and he remembers nothing. When he woke up he was visibly shaken, white as a ghost and scared, it was obvious something was not right.   The thing that made me the most nervous about the whole thing was he did not bounce back quickly.  He looked that way most of the day.  (As a side note...he had told me the day before that I was mean and he wished he lived with someone else. He did quickly change his mind the next day and tell me he really did not mean it. )  We headed right to the doctor's office.  EKG came back normal and so did CAT scan.  But they want to do further testing.  So we have been to the pediatric cardiologist at UCLA.   All is great with his little heart!  Doctor actually said if he had been running around when it happened that is when he would be worried.  Doc was fantastic, said to email him with any questions and he would answer right away.  Seriously, how many doctors do that? 

Now getting an EEG and into the pediatric neurologist at UCLA, is taking a bit longer.  Luckily, he seems good and has had no more passing out episodes, however, it does make for adventure.  Needless to say my summer plans are being moved, changed and interrupted.  For those of you that know me well, you know that a "schedule" is my thing and this is really putting a kink in my type A personality.  Live, Learn and Relax...... I am trying!!! :>

 Caves and Diamonds.  That is his story...... and he is sticking to it!!!  I am learning that boys WILL be boys!!  Jayson and Hunter went to the Honda dealership to get the brakes checked on the new van with Daddy! (Good bonding time!)  Tanner was at scout camp and I was working on finishing some furniture.  I may have even had a brief moment there where I imagined I had everything under control...... then bam..... the phone call.  Jay says...... "Jayson needs stitches, I am not my way

back to the dealership , call them and tell them I need the van in 5 minutes."  CLICK.... WHAT?!?!?!?! 

 Naturally, after 2.5 hours the service department has not even looked at the van.  And of course this is after they have promised to only have it for 15 minutes.  (I really should learn to take all the kids and let them run around wild so they want me out of there faster! ) so I proceed to tell them my husband is on the way back and needs it to go to the nearest ER.  The tech gets a little panicky and wants to know exactly how long he has to get the van ready.  Seriously.... you have had it 2.5 hrs!!!  

The next phone call , Jay is stuck in traffic on the 5 and he does not want to hang out at an ER in East LA on a Saturday night and things will be fine.  Hmmmmm..... (really I am not buying this story any more than I am buying the diamond story!)  So I begin cleaning up my mess, (painting is not going to happen) and pace the house ,WONDERING how this could happen, and then KNOWING how it happened.  An hour later and a half later, in they walk.  Long story short..... I spent the next four hours at the ER.  After x-rays, digging out glass, cleaning it up, four stitches and a sling later we were on our way home for dinner and bed.  Glad I had been thinking ahead and ordered pizza for dinner. (I was looking forward to painting and had decided we would do pizza so as not to disturb the painting mojo!)  HAHAHAHA!!!

But as you can see, my brave little Jayson is no worse for the wear.  And he has agreed to sign a contract that will allow us to attempt to be stitches free five years.  Wonder if it will work?!?!?  A mom can dream!!!



Cassie Mouth Surgery!

OUCH!!!  Poor little girl!!  Cassie did not have enough gums on the bottom teeth to keep the roots covered so she had to have a graft today.  She was a real trooper.  They merely, numbed her up and took skin from the roof of her mouth. 

And grafted the skin to the bottom teeth.  This is the bandage they made for her from this putty like substance.  She was very brave!!  I was very proud of my little one.  I think the most horrible part for her..... the numbing process.  She held my hand tight but survived it all.

Then my poor little girl got whacked in the eye with the seat in the van.  I am very afraid that when the pretty little girl wakes up she will have a black eye.  I guess we will not be going many places this weekend.  Whew.... glad today is over!!!  Way to Go Cassie Girl!!!!

Good bye!

What an interesting day it was!!!  Good bye Mega Van!!!  After 8+ years, 145,000 miles it was time to say good bye to the mega van.  I must say..... I had no idea it would be so hard for the kids.  It was like I was taking away their best friend!!!  This van was a great van and we have a lot of great memories.  However, it was time to part ways!!!

Hello MINI VAN!!!!  The kids are not so sure they are wild about it, but me....... loving it!!!  I am so excited to not be stared at as we drive down the freeway, not have to park 100 miles away from a store, and have something that will get better gas mileage!!!  Love it!!!
