My handsome guy!

I bribed him with cookies today for some pictures (it is the only way I can get his pictures taken..lol)

Sometimes I think I should get him into modeling!

Love that they have each other!

I have been having so much fun watching my two precious little kiddos interact with each other. I just can't believe how much the love each other and enjoy playing with each other. I really hope this continue throughout their childhood. I sure love that they have each other!

We love snow days!

We have been very spoiled with snow days around here. We had 2 and a half days off of school this week. It has been so fun to hang out as a family. Jacob loved going outside to play with dad. We even dropped Bella off at Grandmas's one day and mom and dad took Jacob sleeding. He had a BLAST! Even though we have enjoyed the snow days we are all itching for spring to arrive. We can't wait to be out everyday playing and running around in the sun! Hopefully we have an early spring.

Here are some snowy pics!

Jacob finds a friend

So yesterday I found out that Jacob has an imaginary friend. Not sure how long this friend has been around, but it was totally cracking me up yesterday. They played for a good hour in my shower stall "fixing" things. I tried to ask him what his friends name was and he said.. "mom, it is just a girl"... so I guess his friend's name is girl. LOL Here they are fixing some things....



I also have to share Jacob's latest drawing.. I think it is so cute. He is actually drawing people that kind of look like people.. with legs and arms and a mouth and eyes.


I am wondering if his "big friend" is his imaginary friend????? LOL!

Bella is 10 months old !

My little girl is growing up fast. I need a pause button or something to slow everything down. I am not sure I am ready to have a one year old. She continues to be such a blessing to our family. She is standing on her own and walking with a push toy. I have a feeling she will be walking really soon. She is eating much more solid foods now. Some of her favorites are green beans, toast with butter, and cheese. She still doesn't really like fruit, but I keep trying. Jacob still love love loves her, but has trouble at times sharing with her, which I know I should get used to..lol!





she plays this game that she crawls around the corner and wants me to chase her and cracks up when I come after her. She is so stinking cute!

"Special Time"

Yesterday we had some Jacob and Mommy "special time".. I took him down to Lebanon and we got some ice cream at this cute little ice cream parlor and then we walked down to the railroad tracks to see the train. Jacob loved the train but was a bit upset he couldn't ride it. I think we are going to have to take him back when Thomas comes into town next. Of course I had to take a few pictures - LOL! Poor Jacob!


Ok, Jacob... smile!!!! .....






ok, mom... are we almost done?



This part was his favorite... he loved the big red train! ....

A few from this past week....

I am doing a project.. it is 365 day project. I am trying to take a picture everyday for a year... hmmm.. hopefully I can make it. Anyway.. I actually am really enjoying the project because I am getting to document our everyday lives. it is really fun!!! Here are a few from this week..


We had fun finger painting this week.. it didn't start off as finger painting, but Jacob decided he wanted to fingerpaint. ;)




It actually hit the 40's this week... so we got outside a bit... here is sweet little Bella....



We played with insta-snow this week.. it is soo... fun and the kids loved it... but sooo..... messy!!!

My nephew Logan

Potty time!

Ok... well, Jacob potty trained really early for a boy... a little after he turned 2. He is too little to stand up and pee in the potty, so he does this.. it just cracks me up!! I am so glad I got this picture.. I have been wanting to for a whie.

Little Bella....

Little Bella just wants to be soo... big! She always wants to keep up with her brother... she is going to be the happiest little girl when she can walk and run around with Jacob. I think I may be in trouble, however. :)

We had a great day little Miss Bella and I. It was kind of a girls day. Jacob and Daddy went to the movies and then napped for 3 hours in front of the TV watching sports. It was fun because we took our morning bath together (something Jacob and I did a lot when he was a baby), went grocery shopping together, played together, danced together and made dinner together. I think she enjoyed the extra attention. I always feel bad because she doesn't get the attention Jacob did :( Poor girl... but I am pretty sure, she still knows how much I love her!!!

Box play!

Yep.. this week I have been able to take a lot of pictures due to the snow days.. I was loving it!!! I ordered some pictures (of course) for a friends birthday present and it came in a big box. I remember as a kid loving to play in boxes and decorate them and all... yep.. so did Jacob! He played in this thing for days. He decorated it, colored on it, played in it. I love seeing my little man be creative like this. Really, he likes doing this kind of stuff a lot more than playing with his toys!
