Jade Loving the Ocean
Everyone absolutely adored being at the ocean. But Jade was beyond cute playing at the water’s edge. She was just so happy: So happy that she couldn’t help dancing: She keeps asking me when we’re going back!

Blowing Bubbles
I never finished blogging all of our vacation photos, and the children have been asking for them, so I’m going to try to get them up. My mom had gotten all of the children bubble wands and we broke them out on a windy evening. They had so much fun with them. […]
Work Hard…
When we first started Goat Milk Stuff and needed a “tag line”, Jim came up with: “Work Hard. Get Dirty. Use Good Soap.TM“ Sometimes I think our family tag line should be: Work Hard. Play Hard. Sleep Hard. You may remember this blog post about the results of Jade playing hard at Disney. And then […]
How Many Jonases Fit in the Cockpit?
We have a friend who flew the KC-10 for the Air Force. So we decided to go and check it out. First, we all crammed into the cockpit: Then we each got to be the pilot: The children are all now talking about becoming pilots. I told them they were going to have to […]
Jumpy Things
Once we had base camp set up, it was time to go check out the air show stuff. So off we headed: And we found the jumpy things: It was a lot of fun until Indigo got hurt: So we gathered everyone together: And walked over to the planes: First we walked through […]
Goat Milk Pudding
The other day Brett decided to surprise the family with goat milk pudding. We all enjoy it when Brett decides to surprise us and everybody dug right in. Jade quickly became a mess: So the other children got a bit silly with their pudding: But they still couldn’t compete with […]
And Then There Were Three
In the beginning, there was just one: Then, after many years of waiting, there were finally two: Shortly after that, there were three: And the girly circle is complete.
Daddy Time
The girls were in need of some Daddy Time. So Jim gave Jade her first set of braids: So then of course Indigo needed her hair braided too: He eventually had them both braided and looking beautiful: Then they got to check out themselves in the mirror in their room: He’s a VERY good Daddy! […]
Scary Jade
When we were at Disney over the winter, we went into one of the gift shops. Brett was looking at books, the boys were looking at pirate stuff, Indigo was looking at pretty, princess dresses. And Jade fell in love with what she called her “scary hands”. We left without buying anything. A couple of […]
Jade’s Birthday
We got to celebrate Jade’s Fourth of July birthday during our vacation this year. Other than having extra people there, it was pretty much a Jonas birthday celebration as usual. Of course, all those extra people meant a lot of extra cash for Jade. She was loving it. I can’t believe my baby is […]
My New Camera
I got a new camera and was outside playing around with it. Jade was supposed to be inside cleaning up her zone, but her curiosity (what is mom doing??) got the better of her. So instead of taking pictures of my herbs, I took pictures of her: […]
My Daughter
I was sitting on the couch taking a rest when Jade appeared. She climbed up next to me and grabbed my face in her hands. She looked me right in the eyes. Jade: “I am going to hide behind your back. And then you are going to say, ‘Where is my daughter?’. And then you […]
Vacation Hangover
We had an incredible vacation. We played very hard. I think Jade came home and experienced a vacation hangover: Then the children got a hold of the kittens and ran them all over the place, so that Ginger experienced a post vacation hangover too: If Brett had thought to take the camera and […]
The Goldfish Saga
I just had to share this Jade story from our vacation. We were sitting on the beach one day. My Aunt Gina had just finished sharing her box of goldfish with Brett. Jade saw this and told (not asked) Gina that she wanted some of Brett’s goldfish. Gina told her that they weren’t Brett’s goldfish […]
Substitute Blanket
We’ve been having trouble lately with Indigo and Jade losing their blankets around the house/soap room/yard. It’s not a pretty picture when it’s bed time and the blankets are nowhere to be found. So Jim told them they had to leave their blankets in their room. Today I discovered Jade curled up on the couch. […]
