Hoppy Easter!

We had a Easter party with our neighbors. It was so fun. We had an egg hunt and made candy bunny cars and of course when we got home we had to do our own party and read all our Easter books and hide our eggs again. It was so fun!

Jakey trying out his first peep, I think he liked it!

Jacob was really hamming it up for the easter pictures. I couldn't help but post this great shot of him dressing up as the easter bunny. He's also eating a pretzel and has one sticking out of his mouth which looks like his tooth is bigger than it really is. What a little goosie.

The big thing around here are community and church egg hunts for Easter. This is a fun one we went to with our friends. Here you see the before and after, notice all the eggs in the background of the before and our overflowing baskets after!

He can walk!!! AAAAAHHHH!!!!

Jakey started walking about 3 weeks ago. This is his latest video, he's getting pretty good now. I think he just couldn't help but try and keep up with Margie. They are like two peas in a pod!

Trip to Utah

We had a wonderful trip to Utah in February. We saw cousins and Auntie's and Uncles and Pagah and Grandma and Papa and Nana and lots of snow which was fabulous. Thanks to everyone for making it a great trip.

Happy Birthday to Dan

Mom and the kids surprised Dad at his office with balloons and treats!
Birthday night we had ice cream and pizza
Sunday we had friends over for more ice cream and the super chocolate, chocolate glazed cake - if you can't tell the candles spell out 31 - he's getting old!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Both kids were sick over Christmas with Pneumonia we are still trying to get over the cough and other things that came with it, so mom didn't get a lot of Christmas photo's (probably lack of sleep) But Jakey did cut two teeth that week - contributing to his miserableness. Here's the two of them showing off their teeth. (notice Jakey's rosy flushed cheeks from being sick)

New Years was a little better, everyone had been on antibiotics and other meds for almost a week but since we were still under a little bit of a quarantine so we wouldn't spread our sickies to other kids, we decided to have our own little New Years Party!!

biggest smile

Jakey (as we lovingly call our Jacob) has the best smile.

He can melt any heart with that big grin of his. Even as a small(er) baby when he would smile his whole body would contract into a little ball of glee. This smile was for mom. I am all he wants in the world when he's hungry or tired and Margie is all he wants when it's playtime. We all (including Dad) get the biggest grins when he sees us. He is such a sweet boy and so good natured it's a lot of fun having him around.

He is in a very usual spot in front of the doors looking outside in this photo. He loves to be outside and since the winter came he is usually in this spot looking and longing to be outside. We make it out when weather permits and he thinks that dirt, grass and leaves are the greatest thing in the world, as any small boy would. My biggest challenge is to keep him from eating too much of them while he's out there.

I just love that sweet little face of his and especially that smile, he'll be breaking hearts before we know it.
