Gorgeous!!!!!!! Need I say more!

Jaden had her first dance debut today, OK everyone settle down before you freak out about not knowing about it! It was at the Senior Center, and it was literally only 10 minutes long, it actually took me longer to do her hair then it did for us to drive over there, dance, and come home!!!

Before I get into how unbelievably proud of her I am, I am going to pat myself on the back!! I got her ready today and she was so gorgeous I just about cried, but I didn't! There now on to Jaden, my three year old rock star! Dancing three steps behind, and watching me and the other dancers more than her coach! She blew me away. She was so happy, excited, and unbelievable. She lights up every room! There are times when I look at her and think, 'I can't believe she's mine!'

As I was doing her hair, she was sitting on the counter watching me in the mirror and she said, "mom, you turned me into a woman!" I started laughing, where the hell do kids get this stuff?! I said you think so, and she said "yeah, I look big like you". I am not ready for her to be big, I know, I know, I have quite a while but as much as I complain about her cute little attitude I really am loving this age. She is so funny, and to watch her try to figure things out. She amazes me and I think this world could learn a whole lot if everyone would just slow down and simply watch a child go about their business.

I have always enjoyed just simply watching her. Since the day she was born. She is the dictionary definition of Awesome (to be left in awe, formidable, amazing, heart-stirring, wonderful). I know, those of you that are reading this are thinking to yourself, all mom's say things like that, but she truly is amazing. She has been so easy. I had a great pregnancy, not so great labor, but as a baby, she hardly ever cried, she smiled all the time, (and no it wasn't gas!!!!) , and she just roles with things. She simply and unbelievably is just amazing!

And she was her unbelievably, amazing, awesome, self today that she always is. I have to pat myself on the back one more time. Look at this remarkable human I have brought into this world. God, I love her!!! On the way home, I looked in the backseat and said, "great job today Jadie Lou Who", she looked at me and said, "thanks, mama", and the smile on her face was.... Uh, there are no words.

I have been waiting!

I am a huge Bam Margera fan! I watch everything Bam is on or involved in and I also listen to his radio show. I have been waiting for this book to actually come out! They are also hoping to make a movie to go along with it. So many times I have had a laugh at Novak's expense, but reading this book has given me a whole new perspective. The wording, the honesty, to be completely honest I was worried that it would be filled with the hiding behind the wall Brandon Novak that he is so obviously being on anything public with Bam. This book is great and he deserves nothing but respect for the detail and harsh reality he has put into it. Knowing so much of behind the scenes of this book, I am completely amazed at the talent he has pulled out to put forth in this. Congratulations Brandon Novak, this is a true accomplishment. Something for many to respect and idolize you for. Hopefully it is inspiration for even you!!

Ok so I have decided although, I really enjoy the 365 days of grace, it takes up too much of my blog page and I don't want it to be full of just this so I have changed the rules a bit! I am going to do the 365 days of grace at least once a week, that way I have more time and room to blog about other things I feel deserve web space!! Thanks for the understanding!


1. A quiet house!!
2. Sleeping in, I actually slept in till 10 this morning! It was AWESOME!
3. Candles!
4. The silly things Jaden says!
5. My MOM!! I love her, I cheirsh her existence, and I can only hope that I can be to my daughter what my mom is to me. She is the woman I want so much to be!!

1. Money! Although it is not a small thing, it is something that is often taken for granted! Sometimes, it is something that is just assumed to be there.
2. My Sirius Stiletto! (angels sing when that is said and a stream of light comes down and shines upon it!)
3. Chap stick (or chack stip, as Jaden prefers to call it!), especially during this time of year!
