I'd Like to See You In the After Life

My mother is apparently reading a book about a child who died while in the hospital but survived only to tell about heaven and all that he saw there. She, for some reason, felt it necessary to share this story with Jayke who is now obsessed with heaven. He has continuously talked about heaven since getting home from Oma's. He is pretty upset about the whole thing too because he is sure he is going one way and I am going the other. This is upsetting to him because he would like to be able to see me after we are gone. I finally figured this out after answering many questions about heaven and "the place where the devil lives." When he asked me if, "people who go to heaven can see the people who go where the devil lives" I finally knew that he had decided that he was going to heaven and I wasn't. I asked and it was confirmed that, yes, this was exactly what he is thinking. However, he feels if I clean up my language this can all be avoided. I will try to work on that.

I Can Solve Your Problem

Mommy, I sure hope you get a job soon cause I'm sick of looking at you!

I promptly took care of his issue by sending him to his room to contemplate how he chose to express himself, thereby making it so that he no longer had to look at me!! I have a resolution for all his problems!

Seasons Over...Finally!!

Soccer has finally ended for the season! I didn't think it was ever going to end. We had to add 3 1/2 weeks to the season because of the rain and the final tournament game was called in the middle due to a thunderstorm rolling in. We won our first game, lost the second, and tied the last, which was called early. We are going to have to rethink our plan for fall soccer. I'm not happy with the way things have been changed with the club and we will also be old enough to begin travel soccer. In the mean time Jayke has a soccer camp beginning in July with the Ball State womens soccer team as coaches. Same clinic we did over the winter. So far this is the only camp I have him signed up for. He will be going to Georgia for a week to visit his dad and probably swimming at my dad's and his friend, Mason's. All he wants to do it play with his friends so he doesn't care about not going to any camps. He will be busy.

New Do

Jayke got his hair cut today and the girl actually put a little product in it and styled it. He now says I have to do this for him every morning before school. He asked me at least 6 times if we had gel at home...if not we better go get some on the way! This picture is not the finished product. I don't have a picture of that...he was in too big a hurry to go show his new do off to his friends when we got home and took off before I could get a good shot. Good thing school is almost out cause I'm not getting up early to do his hair!!

Jaykeb's spring school pictures

Hmmmm....

My Son the Comedian

Tonight we went to watch Matthew and Alec play baseball. On the way home Jayke was riding with Matt and Ang. I guess Matt and Jayke were going to watch a movie and there was some discussion about whether or not Jayke could watch it because it may have been rated R. When we met up Ang was cracking up at my kid and the following conversation that was just had in her vehicle...

Matt: I don't know if you can watch this movie because it may be rated R.
Jayke: Well is there a lot of blood in it?
Matt: No, I don't think so.
Jayke: Well is there a lot of killing in it?
Matt: No, I think there is just a lot of cussing.
Jayke: Oh, that's okay then...my MOM is rated R!

Nice.

Dirty Boy

When it has rained for 40 days and 40 nights it is haighly likely that your kid will not come away from the soccer field clean. Tonight was picture night too! I was lucky, my kid was one of the cleaner ones.

Shake Shake Shake!!

We went out for a friend's birthday last Friday night and Ang's hubs took this picture of us. Angi, Mandi, and Me. I did my usual, "I don't wanna go!" but had a blast once we got there. There was karaoke on one side of the bar and dancing on the other. I actually danced for the first time since my wedding (which I can't recall). Now my kid, who overheard me talking about it, is going around telling everyone his mother was out "Shakin it!" Friday night. I think the exact conversation he had with his dad on the phone went something like this...

Jayke--My mother went out the other night and SHE WAS SHAKIN IT! She was shakin it like there was no tomorrow!! Shakin it!!

Jayke's Dad--Thaaat's nice.

Clearly Jayke's Dad was not as amused by the fact that I was "shakin it" as Jaykeb was. I'm actually quite amused by it myself. Everytime that night pops into my head I literally laugh out loud at how ridiculous we must have all looked out there "Shakin it"!
