Mochas!
Royal and I don’t like coffee one bit. We don’t ever drink it, the only reason we own a coffee maker is for people in our family who can’t live without it when they are over…like grandma’s and Royal’s dad who averages about 12 cups a day…well actually I think he’s cut it down to 6 now, and I’m not talking measuring cups, I’m talking gigantic coffee cups full. And really, we only own a coffee maker now, we don’t have a pot. Jayden managed to break it awhile back. You see, Jayden is obsessed with coffee. He pretends to make coffee ALL the time, numerous times a day. He was carrying “coffee” outside the time he managed to drop the coffee pot on the cement. I didn’t care so much, other than I had to clean all the glass off our front porch. Now, Jayden just put his cup under the coffee maker and pretends it’s dripping into his cup instead of the pot. At Royal’s parents house, Jayden gets to grind the coffee beans with grandpa and then scoop the grounds into cups and then back into the jar and on and on until the counter tops, floor, and Jayden are covered in coffee. At my parents house, Jayden gets to help nana make her mocha’s in the morning with nana’s espresso machine. He gets to scoop the chocolate into the cup, turn on the steamer, watch the thermometer to tell nana when it’s ready, and help stir. And then when Aunt Jojee is working some coffee magic down at Riverside, Jayden gets to stop in and order a mocha. Jojee makes him a hot chocolate in his own cup and he gets to sip a mocha just like a big kid. Well, Jayden got a Halloween package from Papa and Nana a couple days ago. And in it, was a Halloween coffee cup full of candy. While Jayden was excited about the candy, once I told him his cup was for mochas he hasn’t been able to stop asking for one. So today, I found some hot chocolate and Jayden got to have a mocha in his new coffee cup after naptime. Boy is this kid lucky. :)
J: Mmmm, Mocha
J:What do you think mom? Do you like mochas?
Me: no, no I do not. thanks for asking though…
J: Oh mom, you’re so funny. I LOVE MOCHAS!!!!
J: I think I’ll have some more
I am not a huge coffee fan either. However, I LOVE the smell of fresh beans being ground and brewed. When I get a mocha from Urraco OR Riverside (gotta be fair to my girls L&J), here’s my “usual”…a 12oz. Heath Mocha, a taste of coconut with 1/2 a shot of coffee please…I think the girls think i’m a whimp and role their eyes about the 1/2 shot thing.
I’ll take a touch of coffee with my sugar thank you! ;)
I think that mocha mug from Nana is pretty cool, Jayden! Hey, it’s big enough to keep a goldfish in…ha!
Jayden, you are the cutest, greatest nephew in the whole world. I LOVE MOCHAS TOO. We should drink them together as a date on ooVoo. B + W would love to drink mochas with you too. Your mom is just sooo funny to not like mochas. Silly, mommy. I bet little sister will like mochas too!
I love you!!!!!
Jayden, you are just too darn cute! . . . and I hate to tell you this, but the love of coffee is in your genes! ;)
Jayden, I love mochas too! But I drink mine with 2 shots of coffee, sugar free chocolate and not fat milk. The only good ones are at Urraco. I know they all taste better in a great cup though, and that cup is the greatest. Christmas is coming so I think you will probably need a great Christmas cup soon. I do agree you have the love of coffee in you genes, from both sides. The next time I see you we will enjoy a mocha together. Love the Great Marshmellow. (Marshmellows are good on mochas too!!
Jayden will not be drinking coffee, that stuff is just nasty. It also stunts your growth. However they do say it is beneficial in the fight against cancer, but I don’t believe them, my dad has drank five lifetimes worth of coffee and he still had cancer.
Man, this makes me want a mocha RIGHT NOW!! I like mine with white chocolate!
Cute pics!
