Jake is famous!!!!

So, Jake really thinks he is famous and here is why... A few weeks ago I had posted some funny things that Jake said. Well I thought it was so funny that I sent it to the Bonnie Hunt talkshow. I don't know if any of you watch it or not but she has a segment called "Mail from you guys". I sent it in for fun just to see what might happen. I have been recording The Bonnie Hunt show everyday for 2 reasons. One, I like to watch it at my leisure and two, just in case she reads my letter. To my utter surprise she read my letter on Monday that said "My 7 year old son asked me the other day, on a scale from 1-10 how hard is your job as a mom? As I was thinking of my answer he said, do you sometimes wish you were a dad? I laughed so hard and made sure I told my husband." Bonnie Hunt thought it was pretty funny as did the audience. Then they showed Jake's picture on the show. It was so cool. I have tried to look for a link somewhere to post the video of that segment of the show and I can't find it anywhere. Let me know if you have any ideas. The picture above was the picture they put on the show except they zoomed in really close so you could see his cute face better. Jake was so surpised to see himself on TV. Yep, Jake you are famous!!

Hey all you gals out there!!! You missed out on commenting on Karen's "chain of love". I didn't though and I got an awesome gift. A darling homemade scrapbook, that all I have to do is put my photos in. Thanks Karen. It is not to late for 3 of you to comment on my "chain of love".

Emma the bridge builder

Emma is in G.A.T.E. at school and for the past 2 months has been involved in a bridge building competition. She stayed after school once a week and worked with her partner Taryn to bulid a bridge. She was given all the requirements and with a little help from Matt they built a pretty good bridge. They took it down to UNLV for the competition last Saturday to see how much weight her bridge could hold. It held 27.8 pounds. She won the contest for her school. We haven't heard of any other awards she may have won against other schools yet. It was a fun experience and she had fun building with her dad. Wouldn't it have been sweet if I had a picture of Emma and Matt building together? Oh well. Below are photos taken at UNLV with her other classmates and her bridge being tested.

Nevada Reading Week

This week in school is Nevada reading week. Each day the kids have done something fun or silly. Today was "dress up as a character from a book day" The kids have been reading the Harry Potter books so...Emma decided to dress up as Hermoine Granger and Jake went as Harry Potter. I even made them wands. Jake's homemade glasses are a little sad looking but he liked them and that is all that counts. You will notice Brandon had to be in the picture. (He is dressed up as the tantrum throwing 2 year old.) :)
