Last year as a kid...

Jaden turned 11.  ELEVEN!  Yea, one more year as a little kid, then he's a young man, then a missionary, then A MAN!  I really like this big kid phase. I'm so excited for his young man phase though.  Can't wait to have my very own deacon!  He's an amazing kid and I LOVE HIS GUTS!  So of coarse, I'm going to do an interview...here goes.....

 What is something that I always say to you?
J: Jaden, I love you (in a super girly high pitch voice that is nothing like mine).
What else?
J:  "How was your day?" when we get home.
I don't say anything else, cool,  or loving, or awesome?
J: (laughing) Jaden, GO TO YOUR ROOM! I'll talk to you in a little bit.
Ok, let's go to the next question.
