Changing the World!

Last night Jack says to me: "Mom I'm going to Change the World!" I reply "I know you will! You already have!" That was pretty much the end of the conversation and he went to bed.

Tonight after dinner Jack read to the family five different books! He is such an amazing reader for a 1st grader! <3

After reading he had this overwhelming inspiration! He began to tell us he is going to find a cure for cancer. He wanted to schedule a family meeting for Friday evening to discuss how to cure cancer.

We came downstairs started to get ready for bed and he begins to tell me he is going to clean up Japan and help prevent Earthquakes from happening in the future. He asked me at what age he could have a cell phone. I said "around 16/18????" He said "OK then I'll have a commercial telling everyone who has cancer to call me and I will tell them how to cure their cancer." He began to talk about Africa and how he wanted to teach them to read, help them with their sicknesses, build them homes, roads and schools.

He wants to invent a force field for the army to help protect America and help stop the wars. He told me he is going to be President of United States one day. I told him he has my vote................ He went on and on of all the amazing ideas he has and want to do.

He has inspired me and amazes me each and ever day! I love him so very much!!!

After tucking him into bed he asks if he could read just a bit longer because he needs/wants to study.

I go into my room and get ready for bed when he pops into my room saying "MOM I know how to cure cancer!!!!!" "You do? How?" I ask "He begins to tell me about DNA and strands of hair....... I can't tell you to many details since Jack is the one that need too! =)

He goes back to bed and comes in to my room again telling me that his brain keeps telling him to study and learn as much as he can. "I tell him that Yes you do need to study, read and learn as much as you can! BUT your brain needs rest and to take advantage of resting his brain so he is fresh and ready to learn even more tomorrow!".....

He is still awake and trying to fall asleep as I write this!

I am one proud Momma and I know his Daddy is very proud of him as well! He had a long conversation with Ryan this evening filling him in on his quest to finding a cure for cancer!

No matter what he does in this world he is going to do great things! I love him so very much!!!!!!!!!!

Truck Arrived Time to Pack and Load it up!

So many of you know that we put the house up for rent in December. We had lots of showings and a few maybes, we will let you know...... Until Feb. 14th a lovely email from someone in Montana. She was very interested in our home. Her husband came by the next day to check it out. They loved it and wanted to move in March 1st!

So I rented a moving truck packed the house and loaded the truck!We had two weeks to pack, load the truck and clean the house for the renters. We went with the same company that moved us to Arizona. You can check out our move to Arizona here.

Gillian had so much fun playing in the truck. She even helped load a few small boxes! Jack was at school when it arrived and then he was sick for most of the week, so he slept and watched movies inside the house while we packed and loaded up. 

 Gillian even made herself a little bed in the truck!

 Jack and Gillian watching a movie while I pack up! Jack was willing to smile for me even when he didn't feel well!

 Gillian taking a much needed nap!

Truck is loaded and ready to go!!

It rained most of the day Saturday while Ryan and I tried to load the truck. But then a beautiful rainbow appeared. It was actually a double rainbow,and a sure sign for good things to come!!! =) 

I stopped by the rental yesterday and it had such a warm and wonderful feeling to it! They are making it all cozy for their family and have already started planting flowers in the backyard!!!! =)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a beautiful day!

Nap Time-"Bat Girl"

Today I tucked Gillian in for her afternoon nap like usual, read her a story, gave her a kiss said "Sweet dreams! Have a good nap! I Love you!" I shut her door. And started cleaning up the place. A few minutes later I hear her say:

 "Mom I'm Half Bat so I can't sleep!"

I reply "Bats sleep during the day." 

Gillian "But I'm half Human so I can't sleep during the day!".......

 

She says the funniest things!
