Savin' up!

Jaden keeps his money in two separate little banks. One looks like a little safe with a combo lock on it and it's for "toy money". The other is his "crocky bank" (thanks to aunt Micalla!) that he puts money in to save up to go on a mission. We told him when he filled his crocky bank we would open him a bank account to put it in. Wow, the little guy was determined to get the crocky bank filled, even though it meant less money for toys. Little Mr. Crocky Bank can be deceiving, it doesn't look like it holds a whole lot. We were guessing around $30... heh. So we emptied the crocky bank and headed over to the Coinstar at the grocery store. We put in what seemed like a handful of change and quickly passed the $30 guess. Looks like he had way more quarters in there than we thought! Here was the final calculations... Holy smokes! That's a lot of change! He was so excited to see his bank account with a grand total of $135. Good job Jaden, you will be blessed in your efforts and in serving the Lord!

Snow day!

I finally found an app so I can blog from my iPod, so you will have to excuse any errors. :)

We ALL (mom, dad, & Jaden) had school cancelled today. We got about 5" of snow yesterday and freezing rain through the night. So glad we aren't one of the people without power!

We had one happy boy on our hands this morning when he found out it was a snow day again. We spent our snow day yesterday with our friends Haley & Kylee. Today dad got to spend the day with us. So far we have played Mario Galaxy, Michael Jackson, and Bonocoly (aka Monopoly).

Happy Snow Day to all!!
