Birthday pictures


He blew the candles out with his nose. Be glad you didn't have to eat his piece.

Mmmm, boogers.

A "hoo hoo" and some cars, what more can a boy ask for?!

Drinking his bottle on his super cool new Caleb sized Thomas that Gamaw and Becca got for him.

Two years of Caleb


I can't believe it! MY BABY is two! Where does the time go?!
...........................................
Two years ago today...
...I was miserable, I'm not going to lie. I'm glad that part is over with, I don't miss it a bit.

The rest of this went by too fast. MUCH too fast.
HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY MY SWEET BABY BOY! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

Birthday party fun

Jacob and Jonah are SURE they want to have their party at this place in July. Go carts, bumper boats, putt putt, arcade games....who wouldn't want a birthday party there? They're finally tall enough to ride the stuff by themselves, so we may do that this year.
............................
Flying around the go cart track. Jonah actually won (both times, by bumping John - who is a HUGE NASCAR fan -out of the way) but this picture shows Jacob in front. I thought we may see a shattered friendship after Jonah's dirty wins but it was all good.


Sitting pretty in first place:

The bumper boats were a huge hit too, good thing it was warm that day.
Good times.

All he wants for Christmas...

...is just one front tooth, he hasn't managed to wiggle the other one out yet but it won't be long.

SO CUTE!!!!

A new adventure for Emmy

We met some friends at the park and Emmy decided that she wanted to try something new. She and Basil took a few spins up and down and then she was done. I told her before we left "you're going to fall. It's okay, it's not a big deal, you just have to get up and try again." She responded with a cheerful "okay!" and off we went.
It's all fun and games until...
somebody falls off and gets totally pissed off about it.
So that marked the end of the learning-to-ride-with-no-training-wheels session. We went to the park and played some after that.
This is one way to get across the monkey bars I suppose.
It's hot Mom! Frick! Do you have to bring the camera EVERYWHERE?!
When he learns to pedal, "hell on wheels" will accurately describe him, I think.
What's a visit to the park without catching a few frogs? Right after I took this picture, they found another huge one and stuffed him into the jar with the others. They were relocated to our house of course.
As if we don't have enough critters around here already.

Mid County Madness, baby!

From the pep rally at the school this morning:

I only have videos of Jacob because Jonah was WAY in the back and Emmy was smack in the middle. You get the idea though. ;)
.........................................................................
Bang bang choo choo train, come on Indians do your thang, get it get it got it got it UH, and let it roll, UH, and let it roll...Jacob is the one to the right (with the bright purple head thing, not one of the mostly white ones) REALLY "letting it roll" in the video."

P U R....P L E....BIG PURPLE BIG PURPLE, LETS GO BIG PURPLE, LETS GO!

GOOOOOO INDIANS! PUT THE WHOOP ASS ON THOSE DOGS TONIGHT!!
