How is it possible..?


 I dont know how this happened, but somehow, Aubrey turned 6.  He had a great birthday, he got to have a fun grandma and grandpa night the night before his birthday while Tony and I went to a dodgers game with Nate and Anne.  Then, he got his birthday breakfast (he requested donuts) and a special birthday lunch with grandma.  (here he is before his lunch with grandma)  From grandma he got black roller skates with red wheels, a baraccuda blade and samarizer and from us a remote control car.
They got to go out to lunch, then to ice cream and the park.  Tony was working late that night, so it was great he got to do something special.  Then, Friday Tony took off and we gave him his gift (zip line) and he played all day.  Special thanks to Grandpa for putting up the zip line.  It was quite a bit more trouble than I anticipated!  The Karrers came over for the evening and he had even more fun. 
Matt picked out a very cool lego set for him that "he wanted his whole life!"  He loved it.  It was an awesome birthday for my sweet little man. :)

Today's Jadenism

I was trying to explain the concept of blackmail to Jaden.  (Here he is in the leaf man hat he made for himself today from the movie "Epic".)
 I told him it would be like if I had a picture of him in a dress and I made him do all of the dishes so I wouldn't show it to Luke and Holden... that would be blackmail.  He replied: "sounds more like blackFEmale to me." Shooting a sideways glance at his sister, Insinuating a male would never do such a thing.  :)

almond flour pancakes

I made almond flour pancakes today for breakfast.  They were not a hit.  Aubrey and Baylee were complaining about them when Jaden piped in: "guys, stop complaining, we've been through much worse."  Thanks kid.
