We're Still Alive...

To say I'm behind on our blog would be an understatement, I've got pictures from before Christmas!!! So stick with me as I try to catch up:)


First I would like to congratulate my good friend Kari and her husband Michael on the birth of their beautiful daughter MaKayla!!!


Then we were off to Matt's graduation from ASU!!! Congrats Matt and Steph:)





Jakey learning to surf in the bathtub, thanks to Aunt Nene and Uncle Matt:)


Jakey reading his new book "Cars". He absolutely loves that movie now:)


Then came Christmas time...my favorite!!!

Jake got a power wheel thanks to my parents Nonnie and Papa. He's a little young for it, so he just drives it in circles in the backyard:)



On Christmas Eve Jake and I baked cookies for Santa, while daddy had to work:(


This was Jake's sheet of cookies:)



Christmas Eve at Ma and Pa's house


Getting ready to pray:)


Out in AZ they turn the zoo into Zoo Lights. We took Jake to see all the cool lights!!!

Jake trying to play with the older kids...I swear this kid is trying to grow up too fast!!!

Daddy and Jakey trying to touch the sting rays






and we made it through!!! Tune in later to check out what has kept us busy lately:)

The Big Day...

December 10, 2009, our little boy is no longer a baby, but a toddler. I think I only cried about five times today (J/K). So we took him for his annual birthday cut. He sat in the big boy chair the whole time!!! Man he is getting so big:)

He even helped the lady style his hair:)

Jakey posing in front of the tree with his new santa sippy and reindeer ears

and opening some more presents...

Then showing off his big boy undies...don't congratulate me yet, he's still not potty trained. I am just ready to try full force now that he's a big boy:)

This child loves umbrellas, so I bought him his own to break instead of mine:)

Then we threw him a birthday party tonight at Chuck E. Cheese's. He had a blast!!!!

Shootin hoops with daddy...look at that form:)

Driving one of many cars that night:)

Chuck E. singing Jakey Happy Birthday...

Then Jake got crowned the Birthday Boy!!!

Then Chuck E. came by to say hi and Jake didn't like him too much:)

Just makin sure that scary mouse was gone:)

The birthday cake

Jakey blowing out his birthday candles...

Then Jakey needed some help, so his buddy Alex helped him out with blowing the candles out.

Then our goofy family picture. I'm so good at taking lots of pics of Jake, but bad at making sure we as a family take some. So this was the one and only one we took, too funny:)

Piggin out on his cake:)

The whole gang that celebrated our baby's birthday with us!!!

and last but not least a picture with his girlfriend Gabby:)

It's Been Too Long

since I've blogged last, so here's what we've been up to...

Jake's 2 year dr. check up (keep in mind he is three days shy of being two): He weighed in at 28lbs and he is 37 1/2 inches tall. Such a big healthy boy!!!

Then we started getting ready for my favorite time of year...Christmas!!! Grandma Debbie took Jakey on the cho0-choo train at the mall.

Then daddy and Jakey picked out our Christmas tree...

and the finished product:)

and here are a few pics of Jakey just being Jakey:)

and a little late but this is our Thanksgiving pics...

grandpa and Jakey walking Lexie to the park...so cute!!!
