Can he build it? Yes he can!

The Home Depot hosts a Free workshop for kids, the 1st Saturday of every month, where they can go and build the selected project for that month. This month they were building a "Message Box" I thought Kaleb would especially like this because he gets to use tools! Real ones! It is so cute, this was our 1st time going, so they gave Kaleb an Home Depot Apron with his name on it. Since Jason likes to build things I decided that he and Kaleb can do it together. Great father/ son bonding time. The tools were all laid out on the tables along with the project.

Showing me his tools, the hammer and the screw driver.

Kaleb did such a great job hammering, and had fun too!

The next step the glue!

The finished product!

After finishing the project they get a certificate of completion, and a pin to wear on your apron, with the project picture and name.

I think this will be our new thing to do every month.

Summer fun

I just love summer. Long days, somewhat cool nights, spending time with friends and family. This summer we have keeping busy and having tons of fun. We spent a lot of days at the pool. Kaleb and Jazelle just love the water.

We are so grateful to have Jazelle in our lives, she makes us so happy, and Kaleb can't get enough of her. They love eachother so much. Hope it lasts.

They did it!

Yesterday was the day that Kaleb and Jazelle had an interview for a Child Agency. The appointment time was at 3pm in Burbank. Jason came with me because I knew I would get lost. On the email they sent they specifically said Be on time! and use Map quest so you don't get lost! so anyways we arrived there at 2:45, walked in the building and was surprised to see a lot of adorable children waiting also. Most of them were girls, with their hair all up in curls and dressed in their cutesy clothes. We had to fill out an information sheet on the "Talent". I had bought Kaleb and Jazelle new outfits for this particular event. And they were so adorable. A lady came out of the office and informed us that they will take in the babies first. Only 1 parent was allowed in, so I took Jazelle. There were two other young ladies waiting in the office. The other baby that also joined us was 15 months old and she was so cute! They asked us their names, and ages. And one of the ladies wanted to see Jazelle's smile, so Jazelle did a little shy smile. But hey at least she smiled! I was thankful because she hardly does. And that was it! all done. We were told that they would contact us within a day or two if they were interested. Then came the toddler's turn. Jason went in with Kaleb. When they came out he told me it went good. They had asked Kaleb some questions..

What's your name?

Kaleb says... Kaleb

Hi how are you?

Kaleb says.. I'm good.

How old are you?

Kaleb says.. 2!

What's your favorite color?

Kaleb says... I like the red airplane that flies in the sky!

Can I see your smile?

Jason says he didn't see how he smiled, but I know it couldn't have been good!

Kaleb doesn't know how to smile! It has to be brought on. Great! I thought that probably ruined it.

Jason also said he was the best talker in his age group, the other kids weren't even paying attention!

After that we decided to go and get Ice cream! We went to the Baskin Robins, next to it was the head quarters where they invent all the flavors, cool! and they also had a drive thru!

So today I get a phone call from the Agency.. saying they would like to represent Kaleb, then she quickly corrected herself and said Kaleb and Jazelle!!!! Yay they both had passed the test. She informed me that I will be recieving an information packet by email and to read it! if I had any questions to call. I was so excited I called Jason right away.
