Daddy and Me

Joel took the boys to our local ECFE daddy and me class. They usually have some fun project to do. In the past they've built a bird feeder, made kites, and enjoyed messy night. I think that one is self explanatory. This time it was build a tool box, and that they did. They aren't that heavy, but they are pretty big, so Jake had a hard time carrying his. They brought them home and promptly filled them up...with cars.

lazy, spoiled rotten, and totally living the life!

Belated Birthday Pictures of Jake and Braeden

A little over-stimulated.

Out cold, but holding tight to his balloons.

WAY overstimulated....and totally under the weather too, poor guy!

Guess what we found

Back in July of '08 we had a temporary shut down in the picture department. The memory stick for my camera went missing-and neither child would admit to what happened to it. Joel was doing some work on the computer, and discovered it about a week ago. It was in the disk drive-I don't mean the CD drive, the actual disk drive. Do those things even exist anymore? Anyway, I had already posted the pictures that were on it, so I don't have anything new to show. But now I have an extra memory stick, in case the other should happen to disappear.

Better late than never

I finally got Joel to fix the problem with this picture. It took him all of 3 seconds...go figure! I promised I would post it...even if it's 349 days til the next Christmas!

Dinner with friends

We went out for Chinese dinner this evening. There were 10 of us, 5 under the age of 3! It went better than you would imagine, that is after you take out the fact that Ryan vomited all over the second we got to the table, Damon was running in circles around the buffet tables, Jake spilled his soda 3 times (only 1 inch in the cup every time thankfully) Jazmin kept beat with chopsticks the entire meal (no matter how many times we took them away, she managed to find more), and Gavon-cute as can be and the best behaved by far-he sat quietly and ate faster and more than the other 4 combined! It wasn't a total loss, at least I didn't have to cook, do dishes, or ever show my face at that restaurant again!

Happy Birthday Jacob Kendall!!!

Today my baby, well so far anyway, turned 2! It's hard to believe that it's been two years already, but time flies when you're having fun. He is a little confused because we had birthday cake, and his Auntie Kendall called to wish him a happy birthday, but he didn't get any presents. We'll rectify that this weekend! In the mean time, keep being you little man, you're one of a kind!
