Happy Halloween just a little late :-) I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture!!!

Now that I'm getting a bit caught up: The weekend before Thanksgiving, John was at Nanny and Pawpaw's house (they brought him home with them that Friday). That next day, John realized that he didn't pack his football pants or jerseys for the time away. Nanny immediately informed him that I had packed them for him since he forgot to. He proclaimed "I really love my Mommy" and then said "Nanny, but do you know who may favorite love is? The love of my life is Aaron". Isn't that the sweetest thing every? I will say that I truly believe that my boys have a very special relationship. John simply ADORES Aaron and Aaron thinks that John hung the moon. Aaron loves picking up John from school! The minute we turn the corner at CR 90, Aaron is saying "bubbaaaaaa" and smiling. I'm a lucky, lucky Mom. May they always be so in love with each other!

Part 2

As James was reading over my latest entry, he corrected me: In a conversation this evening, John Landon informed his Dad that he was going with Reaghan again. He's still not going with Emily...

John Landon a/k/a "The Heartbreak Kid"

Okay...I've been sooooo tardy in posting, but something REALLY cute happened and I wanted to make sure to document it.....John Landon and I spent an hour after school in his library reading and on the way home in the car, the very casual conversation went a little something like this: John: "Mom, Reaghan and I broke up today"; Me: "Really?!? What happened?"; John: "Well, another girl came up to me at recess today and said she wanted to go with me, so I told Reaghan and Emily that I had to break up with them both." Me: "OH MY JOHN LANDON! What did they say?"; John: "Nothing really....they didn't care...you know I kissed Emily, right?!?"; Me: "No....when?!?"; John: "Ahhh, one day in her room at her house. I kissed her on the lips."; Me: "Really? Well, don't you think you're a bit young to be kissing girls?"; John: "No, not really. My new girlfriend wanted to kiss me today, but I just told her no."; Me: "Well, what is her name?"; John: "I don't know."; Me: "You don't know what your girlfriend's name is?"; John: "No....maybe Natalie?!?"; Me: "OH MY JOHN LANDON!"

John + Emily

John and Emily have been friends for as long as I can remember. I truly believe that it really is a special friendship that few share at this age. If they could, they would spend days and days and days together...rarely tiring of each other. Emily has spent many a weekend at our house and John has loved it! We were taking John to the rodeo to ride in the Grand Entry parade this year and leaving Aaron at home. We asked John if he would like to bring a friend, and he thought long and hard and decided on Emily (honestly, he wanted to ask Alexander too, but since Alexander was going with his parents later that same week and also riding in the Grand Entry parade, he decided Emily would enjoy it too!) They had such a fun time and thoroughly enjoyed their "date". John refused to get dressed until Emily came over and he could see what she was wearing so that he could match her. It was really a sweet, sweet night!

Oh, and John recently informed me that he guessed he would have to marry Paige, Emily's big sister. When I questioned him as to why he wasn't going to marry Emily, he responded "cause she told me she just couldn't marry me". :-)

Happy Valentine's Day!

This shows what John's poor nose looks like! It was TERRIBLE! What's funny about it is that it actually looked light a "heart" on the tip of his nose and I overheard several ladies in the hallway talking about the "little boy that had a heart tattoo on his nose" Ha!Ha! Leave it to John!

YOU DID WHAT!?!?!?

Okay...so here's what happened. We went to the post office to mail some packages. John got out of the car and waited on the sidewalk for Aaron and I to get out and get our packages together. I noticed that John's nose was really red, but didn't really think much of it -- actually, I just thought that he had been picking his nose AGAIN... We went inside and after a couple of minutes, John came up to me and started crying saying that he burned his nose on the light outside. I obviously had no idea what he was talking about, but once I questioned him again, I realized that the sidewalk lights were on outside since it was a cloudy day and he bent down to see it and his nose touched the cover and burned it. We went to see Amy to ask her what she thougth we should do and she sent us to the ER to get it taken care of. Needless to say, I don't think John will be "snooping" around the lights anymore! It's hard to see in this picture the extent of the burn, I'll post another one to show it a couple of days later.
