Stranded!

Thought I would let ya'll in on what's been going on with us this week. First week of December...usually people are getting ready for Christmas. We on the other hand are dealing wtih insurance and discount tire and having only one car....fun week.

Jeremy woke up Monday morning and discovered his truck on blocks in our driveway. Someone came up into our driveway in the middle of the night and took his tires and wheels and....well, everything. Thank Goodness our insurance covered it but its been a pain to deal with. One car for a family of 4 does not work. We should have our replacements by Monday but until then....fun for us.

Bubba

Here are a few random pictures from the last few weeks. Now that Jake is sitting up and playing more, Jax is really playing with him. Its so cute to see them together and being sweet....so far!

Jake is now taking baths with Jax....so much easier and fun. Another picture shows Jax with Jake in his bed. For some odd reason, Jax likes to get in the bed with Jake and play. I also put a picture of Jax in here on one of his dress up days at mother's day out - it was farmer day. The other picture is of Jake and me. He's a major mama's boy. He's already saying ma ma ma and he knows when to use it correctly. Gotta love it.

Enjoy our pictures!

Halloween 2010

We had a great halloween this year. As usual, we went over to my sister's house to trick or treat with her boys. Jax was Woody and Jake was Buz from Toy Story. This was Jax's first year to truly get halloween and the whole trick or treating thing. Jeremy even took the video camera along. Jax did great.....very soft spoken and said thank you to everyone.....so sweet! Here are the pictures I took. A few of them are also from Jax's dress up day at mother's day out. Enjoy!

Pumpkins at the Arboretum

For the last 3 years, we have gone to the Arboretum with Wanissa and Cooper in October. This year, we add Ryleigh and Jake. The boys had so much fun playing with the pumpkins, petting animals and running around the gardens. We got some great pictures of them before we had to leave early due to Jake getting an allergic reaction to amoxicillan....gotta love it. Everyone is healthy now and doing great. Enjoy the pictures!

State Fair 2010

Another year at the state fair - Jax really enjoyed it this year because we totally catered to him. We went to the children's aquarium and the butterfly exhibit. We ate some food and Jeremy won Jax a scooby doo doll from throwing darts. We had a great time and wore both boys out by lunch time. I didn't take too many pictures but here are the ones I got while we were there. Enjoy!

Jake is 6 months and mommy is 32

Another year older but what can ya do. I had a great birthday this year! Jeremy began my morning with a new Vera Bradley purse that I was wanting and some bath and body works foot stuff and a new workout shirt. I finally get to start working out again this month after my last hernia surgery. Anyways, I went shopping with my mom and sister and then to Fogo de Chao with Jeremy, DeAnn and Doug. We had a great dinner as always. The following day, we took the boys to the fair. What a great weekend!

Jake also had a milestone on my birthday. He turned 6 months. He's starting to sit on his own pretty good. He's eating well....as you can see and he's finally sleeping in his own bed. He's getting better each night. We go to the doctor in a couple of weeks for his next check up so I'll give you details later. Here are a couple of pictures of him. He's my happy little boy......so pleasant and loves watching every move his big brother makes!

First Bath Together

I've been waiting for this moment basically since Jake was born. It is so much easier to bath them together than separate. Jeremy and I usually take one to each bathroom and get the job done. Now we can do it all in one bathroom. Jake still isn't completely sitting up by himself but with the help of a chair, he's doing great. So I gave it a try the other night and it went pretty well. He slumps occasionally but he loves it. He kept trying to sit up in the baby bath so I knew it was getting time. Here are a few pictures of my boys
