Michael Jackson has passed away today. In my opinion, he is a weirdo, and has had some problems, but hey, I have always like his music and his dancing skills were awesome! Enjoy my playlist! (Especially you Mary, I know how much you LOVE them! :) )
(I only picked this picture because I used to have that haircut and I didn't realize that he did too.)
"Squirrels don't wear helmets...(long pause leaving me curious as to what he was talking about)...so... why does Sandy wear one?"
It took a me a little bit to realize that he was talking about Spongebob, but not too long because this has been a recurring theme in our house. EVERYTHING that happens at our house can always be compared or tied back to Spongebob via JJ. I compare it to the Kevin Bacon game that people play. JJ can find a way, no matter the topic(I think he's even tied Jesus and church topics before) back to an episode or experience Spongebob had.
Going back to the original quote, I tried to explain why Sandy wears a helmet, but he either wasn't listening or just wasn't trying to really get it, and in the end we both gave up. It's hard to explain how it's air in the helmet when it just looks like the water around.
The attempt to explain went on for about five minutes and the whole time I kept thinking, "Am I really trying to explain a squirrel living underwater and who breaths water and who breaths air from a fake show?" The culmination of the whole conversation was JJ deciding, "I want to learn to breath water when I get older." I'm not sure how my explaining got him to that point. Oh well!
The couple below is after a bath and Jake just playing with his hair.
Jake was driving home and saw this awesome double rainbow. He took a picture so I could see it. He said the picture didn't do it justice. I did see it several times on the news. For those of you who don't live in Arizona- when it rains, it's big news, on every station, all the time. It's kinda annoying!
Luke following in daddy's footsteps. (In daddy's dreams!) Flying on our space rocket Grandma Downey and Berber gave us when JJ was little. I'm surprised it's lasted this long, the way JJ is with his toys!
Look at that messy house. Sadly, it looks like that more often then not. Don't judge me! :)
Luke fell asleep in his carseat and Jake thought it was funny that he was holding onto this toy for dear life.
Just Luke sleeping when he was a baby baby. I like this one because Jake must have been holding Luke and wanted to get a picture of how stinkin' cute he is in his arms. 
When Luke first learned to hold his bottle.
We went to see Bedtime Stories in the theatres and to keep Luke quiet we gave him a See's Vanilla sucker. He was quiet the entire time and once we got out into the daylight we realized how messy he was. Those things get messy!!! If you click on the picture it makes it bigger and you can see the damage better. 
It's even on my shirt, but look at that happy face!
Don't worry, it's just New Year's and we got a little crazy with our Sparkling Cider! 
The first video is of JJ's fort that Luke would run up to and then fall down laughing when JJ would pop out. This went on for hours and days.
These ones are when Luke first started playing with JJ's old car. He would open the door, climb in, close the door, open it again, get out, and then do it all over again. Jake took the video to show me because I was at work and Luke was so proud of himself for being a big boy.
