And Sports Begin!

Jake started soccer this year. It was nice to get him into something more organized then playing with Ty at home (which usually consists of Jake saying, not like that Ty, and Ty walking away). He seems to like it and I guess this begins our life of driving to practices and games.

Merry Christmas

Jake's Performance

We were surprised at our MOPS meeting at church, when they brought the kids in from their classes to sing to us moms. A lot of us were in tears. Something about a bunch of moms together watching their babies perform. Jake must be quite the ladies man, with all those girls around him!

More Pictures by Jake

Here is Jake, grabbing pics wherever he can. He sure loves doing it, but he can be a little demanding. "mama, say cheese...mama, say cheese". Jeez where does he get that from??

Jake Cooking

I am saving this one for the future girlfriends. Jake loves to help mommy in the kitchen, so much he couldn't even wait to get his clothes on after bath time.

Love Bugs

If there not fighting, then there loving...at least it seems. Jake is quite affectionate, often too affectionate for his brother. "Mom, I was just trying to hug and kiss him," is what I hear often. I am sure some of those times the hug and kiss came with a shove to the stomach. Ahhhh... life with boys!

Where has the time gone?

Ok, so over the last few months I have not been able to update at all. I had been working full time for the office and everything seemed to fall apart, including this blog. So, now I am back home and getting things back together. So, get ready as I attempt to catch up for the last few months.

Jake's Bowling Bash

Jake went bowling for his 4th birthday. The kids loved wearing the bowling shoes and did surprisingly well bowling. It took about five minutes for each ball to make it down, but they had fun. They also loved not having their little brothers and sisters in their way.

New York

We were so surprised when Matt's mom and stepdad asked us at the end of October if we wanted to go to New York for Thanksgiving. Of course we said YES! Unfortunately they had planned to go with Matt's brother, but he had to back out. I cannot believe all that we saw in 4 days with 2 little ones in toe. Here is just a glimpse of some of what we saw. We also got to see the Christmas Spectacular at the Radio City Music Hall...the kids loved it!
