TV Star Jacki (third times the charm, right?)

 Becky and I are going to be on Good Things Utah again!
We will be appearing next Wednesday, November 24 at 10:00 AM MST. 

 

I am super excited to be a TV star again. Because it is absolutely possible to be a celebrity more than once, right? And don't try to tell me I'm not a celebrity. I totally am! But I'm also SUPER nervous this time for some reason.

So make sure to watch us on your TV. If you have to work set your DVR. Or if you want to watch us in person request your tickets now

After watching us the other two times we were on do you have any advice? Encouraging words? Shameless praise? I will take them all!

So...here we go!

1. When pigs fly Tim will let me get a cat.

2. Bacon Jam... seriously?!

3. Call me if you have something good to tell me.

4.Clap if you know what I mean. (You should all be clapping right now.)

5. The most entertaining person in my life is Holden because he thinks he is hilarious.

6. Holden just offered to help clean my house, who's next?

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to Disney on Ice, tomorrow my plans include Holden's family birthday party and Sunday, I want to relax! (I seriously doubt that is going to happen, though.)

Happy Birthday Holden!

Today is Holden's 4th birthday! I can't believe it has been 4 years since I held my little baby in my arms. He is stubborn, loyal, smart, rambunctious, loving, and funny.
I wouldn't change a thing about him and I wouldn't trade him for the world. He is, and always will be, my little Hono.

Happy Birthday Holden!

A Few of His Favorite Things-Holden 2010

In honor of Holden's upcoming 4th birthday here are a few of his favorite things right now. And stay tuned for more Holden themed posts this week.

Holden LOVES Star Wars the Clone Wars. This is what he will always choose to watch on TV. He dressed up as Anakin Skywalker for Halloween and also chose a Star Wars theme for his birthday party this year. He would wear his Yoda shirt every single day if I would let him.

Holden has a love for learning. He loves reading books and finding letters in the house. His TAG reader was one of the best presents we ever gave him. The other day we went on a letter hunt and he didn't want it to stop. He already knows so much. I am insanely proud of him.

He still loves Transformers. He got an Optimus Prime toy at his birthday party from his friend Karsten and it's his new favorite. This is what he has been sleeping with at night and it has rekindled the obsession. It reminded me of how much I now hate the Transformers movies. Watching them over and over again will do that to you.



One of my very favorite things about Holden is his outgoing personality. He will talk to everyone and anyone. And one of the things he likes to do most is make others laugh. Right now he loves knock knock jokes. Most of them are not at all funny, but if he finds one that makes you laugh he will tell it to you and everyone else over and over again.  He got the class clown award at school last year and I won't be surprised if he gets it again this year. Check out the video above of his favorite knock knock joke. If you haven't heard it yet then you haven't seen Holden in a while.

And the last thing on the list for this year is being outdoors. Holden loves to play outside. And he especially loves fishing or "hunting" with his Dad. 

I love this kids more than words could ever express. I can't imagine my life without him. He can infuriate me to no end and make me smile through my tears. He will fight Beckett for a toy one second and defend him from someone else the next. He is smart, loving, funny, outgoing, loyal, and perfect. I wouldn't change a thing about his stubborn personality.

Out of the mouth's of babes...4 year old edition
