So this past weekend the family threw me a 'Surprise' 30th birthday. I emphasis surprise because I kind of had it figured out (that runs in my blood), but it was still really great! Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with me!
I especially want to thank Brian's Mom and Sister for the gift that will keep on giving for years to come!!! (as long as Crystal doesn't shoot it with a bee bee gun!)
I cannot say enough THANK YOU's!!!!!
So after the party with spent the night with Grama and Pops. The boys can't get enough of watching the train go around and toot it's horn. Thank you pops for all your patience!
On sunday morning we ended up going to church with Mom and Dad( ours was cancelled due to icy roads). Kaden was so excited to go to children's church and meet some new friends. Little did we know when we dropped him off that the class he joined would be singing some christmas songs in front of the church. So mid-service it was a surprise to see the gang of children lining up on stage to sing their song. ( they obviously had been practising for weeks, where as Kaden just showed up). Now I knew that there was going to be trouble for three reasons:
1)Kaden is loud
2)Kaden was in the front by the mike
3)Kaden is loud
So it begins. The teachers quiet the children down and then began to sing
"Away in the manger no crib BEEP for a bed, the BEEP little Lord Jesus BEEP lay down his BEEP sweet head."
Could this be? My child yelling BEEP into the microphone as the other children sing their precious song about Jesus' birth? Yes, indeed. It was he. And so it continued throughout the entire song. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. Their was nothing I could do from the back but let the tears of laughter roll from my eyes! What a kid.

Lisa, I read your blog right before I went to bed last night. I was in bed giggling and could not go to sleep thinking about Kaden "beeping"! When Katie was 5 we went to California to visit some family. We went to this huge mega church (several thousand). It was Children's Sunday. The Children's pastor got up and asked all the kids in "Kindergarten through 5th grade" to come down front. Before we could stop her, Katie had scooted out the aisle and made her way down front. It was the same thing - these kids had been practicing several songs for weeks and of course Katie did not know them. The funny thing was Katie sang her little heart out! We asked her later why she went down front and she looked at us in astonishment and said, "Well they said that kids in Kindergarten should come down and I am in Kindergarten!".
My 2 1/2 year old great niece was in their church's Christmas program - in the pre-school bell choir. That kid is too smart for her britches! She not only knew when she was supposed to ring her bell, she knew when everyone else was supposed to, too. At one point she leans over and very loudly tells the little girl next to her to SHHH because she is playing her bell when she is not supposed to. That doesn't stop her so Dylan reaches over and holds the girls arm down. There were also 2 little boys that got into a shoving match in the middle of the show. Kids programs are my favorite!
Happy 30th!!!! And Merry Christmas.
Oh lisa, I am rolling laughing! One time when /mark was about 2, all the kids filed up onto the risers to do their little songs... all was well till about the 2nd song when Mark had, had enough. He stepped up to the top riser, ran across the back of it and JUMPED off.....then everyone started to follow after him- poor Gini and Sue Young.... we have this all on video...
