McDonalds and Chipotle... Pass it on.



Mall of America is huge. It really is pretty cool for a Mall. I had a interesting experience though. I left my Dad sitting in one part of the food court while I wheeled the kids around the corner to get some McDonald's. I stepped up to the counter and this big black guy said “how are you today”. I looked right at him and said “I’m great! How are you doing?” He was really surprised that I was so cheery and had actually responded to him that he said “well wow, I think I’m doing pretty good too! Thank you.
I then proceeded to make an order but was going back and forth a little on the prices for chicken Mc nuggets . He said “Ya know I’m feeling pretty happy right now so let me figure something out for you.” He then created this order of 2 six piece chicken nuggets, 2 fries, and 2 chocolate milks.” He was calculating things on the register and then said “that will be two dollars and fifty cents. I said “oh my gosh, thank you so much”. He said “just pass it on… pass the good on”. I smiled at him and I promised him that I would.
I now had a little extra money for the burrito that I was craving at chipotle. I walked over to that stand and after placing my order stepped back and observed the guy behind me ordering. He said “How about you throw some guacamole on there” the lady said that it was an extra $1.89 . He said “oh serious? Wow, Never mind then”. I quickly knew how I was going to “pass it on.” I reached into my wallet and said to the guy “hey here are two dollars… you should get that guacamole”. The guy resisted and said “no no no”. I explained quickly that the man at McDonalds had just about given me two free meals for my kids and I had promised to “Pass it on”. The guy was shocked, and so were all the workers that were over hearing our conversation. I said “you enjoy that guacamole and pass it on too ok.” He smiled and replied “ ok I will! Thank you!!”
I couldn't help to giggle to my self as I walked away from the food court. Did I seriously just buy a guy Guacamole? Yes…. Yes I did… and who knows, maybe by the end of the day Some thing amazing was passed onto someone special, all because of a cheery Mc Donald’s Manager and someone who loved guacamole! So… pass it on!

Mt. Rushmore

















We took a little Road Trip and we saw Mt. Rushmore! it was Freezing and Windy! We didn't stay long because we were cold! But even though we were cold the kids wanted to stop and get an ice cream cone! It was really cool to See Mt. Rushmore!

Raegan

4 years has Flown by! I can't believe it! Raegan Is so grown up! My favorite thing that she says is anytime I leave she yells to me "Best Friends Forever Mom!"
One day Raegan asked me when we were going to be able to Share clothes and shoes. I told her when she grows bigger and stronger like me. Later that day I told her that we were going to get pizza for lunch. She politely said "no thanks, I need a homemade sandwich and some carrots so I can get big and strong like you, Because I want to share clothes with you!"
Raegan is Always looking out for Kade! I love watching them Care for each other and love each other. Don't get me wrong... the fights they have are almost deadly! Sometimes there is even blood! Good times for sure!

Kade

I seriously don't know how I don't eat him everyday! He is so yummy! Just look at those cheeks! Kade is such a joy in our family! He keeps us laughing every minute! His sense of humor is great! He can spiral a foot ball and shoot a basketball perfectly! Jared loves these pictures of him because he looks like he's being Drafted into the NFL! So who ever wants to Infest in his football career while its cheep you are always welcome to!
Kade love Raegan! I love watching them play together! But the funniest is when it tackles her and takes her down. Raegan can hold her own pretty good. They are about the same weight.
That's a quick update on our cute kade!
