Jadon’s 2nd Homecoming Day!!!

Yesterday was Jadon’s second homecoming day and we had a FABULOUS time!!! It was so much fun because he is starting to understand and get excited about stuff like this. He FULLY understood that the day was all about him, and by the end of the day it was starting to show in his attitude. Never-the-less we enjoyed telling him every moment we could how thankful we were that he is in our lives and how incredibly special he is to us.

We started the day off at IHOP with a BIG waffle loaded with whipped cream and strawberries. (he chose to wear his favorite “Thomeehs” shirt)

Then we went to Home Depot, which has become our Saturday morning tradition, to do their kids construction project. (many Home Depots do this for free on Saturday mornings) We didn’t have anything to shop for this week but Jadon still wanted to ride in the big orange race car. Since we couldn’t say “no” to him on his special day, we took a lap around the store but still didn’t buy anything! Go us!

Then, we went MINI GOLFING!!! Jadon  L O V E S  anything sports related. He’ll hit ANY ball around the house with ANY kind of stick-like thing. The first time he saw golf on TV we are sure he was thinking, “Hey, I invented that!” When we told him he was going to go PLAY GOLF for his special day he couldn’t stop SCREAMING about it! He was SO CUTE and had a BLAST!!!

Here he is stuck in the sand trap.

(Notice the backwards crocs. It’s a battle I don’t fight. I’m just thankful he can put them on himself.)

Eliza tried to play. Or. . . she tried to suck on the handle of the putter. Either one.

Jadon was a little disappointed we were leaving, so he wasn’t interested in cooperating with the family picture. We should know by now to take the picture before it’s time to go.

During nap time I finished the “Tres Leche Cake”. YUM YUM!!! It’s a Central/South American cake that is filled with 3 kinds of milk and “iced” with sugared whip cream. WHOA!

We went to a wonderful Guatemalan Restaurant for dinner that is only a couple miles from our house! Jenni and her new boyfriend, Brant came up from Wichita to celebrate with us! We shared our cake with the restaurant staff, so I hope I made it right.

Jadon opened his 2nd, out of 18 gifts we bought him in Guatemala for this special day. This year it was a “chicken bus” which couldn’t be more perfect for what he is interested in (besides sports), “vroom vroom!” We also got to tell him that he rode in a “chicken bus” like this one with Rosalyn to come be with us!

We ended the day with a successful family picture!

We love you Jadon!
