Happy Birthday to our lil' man!!

That's right, it's Jake's birthday today!! I can't believe that he is 3 years old today!! It seems like it wasn't that long ago that we brought him home from the hospital. All 9lbs and 14oz of him!! Jake is such an fun loving, energetic, and one of the most affectionate little boys I know. Thank God for the opportunity that we have!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE!!

A flashback to Hannah's first time to meet her little brother!

Always taking care of her little brother!

And today! Jake's 3 year portrait!!

Oh Deer!

One thing that I forgot to mention is the previous posts, was all the deer that we got to see up in Arkansas. They would come up to the deer feeders in the backyard at Tommye and Leon's looking for food every day. The last day that we were there we saw an amazing site just a few feet in front of us!!

It started off with these 2!! We were sitting on the deck just checking them out!

And this is how many showed up towards the end! It's really cool in person!

T-ball

As I said in the previous post, T-ball is over! YEA...it was fun but, a lot of work. Sometimes we had 2 games a week plus practice! Hannah did great this season and is looking forward to the spring. Here are some pictures from her last game as well as of her "trophy!" She was so excited to get her trophy and took it every where and showed everyone!

The proud daddy with his kiddos!

Hannah is the one in the big straddle!

Vaca to MO and AR

I have to admit...I have been terrible about updating the blog the last couple of months. From swim lessons to T-ball to allergy doctor to Tumbling to everything else in between. I feel like I have been running on overload trying to get everything done. However, I think things will be a little bit slower from here on out now that T-ball is over. I say that and now I am trying to do 2 kids birthday parties and Thanksgiving and Christmas....Whewww...will it ever end!!

A couple of weeks ago we got a week off to go spend time with Brent's side of the family. We were all together in one house. This is a very rare occasion and it was fun!! We got to meet our new nephew, William David or Baby Will...as our kids call him. William come out all mumbled for them. Hannah had a blast holding him and playing little momma! Jake thought he was too small and looked a little scared when holding him. They got to also play with their favorite girl cousin Clara!! They had been talking about her for days and had so much spending time playing with her. After a short visit there, we headed to Arkansas for several days to get some much need rest and relaxation! More for Brent than anything. He has been so busy flying that he needed a break! We didn't get a chance to be outside too much because of the rain but, the kids totally didn't mind. They got some good bonding time with their Great Grandparents! The one day it didn't rain we ran like crazy trying to get a lot of outdoor activities in. We went down to the river, to the park, to the fish hatchery and spent hours picking up and playing in the leaves. All in all it was a great trip! Now for all the pictures that I took....watch out there is a lot!!

She loved holding him!!

he,he,he

Of course she had to visit Auntie Ann's salon!!

Buddy,buddy,buddy!

Jake loves fire trucks so, while we were in Arkansas he got to sit in a bunch of them!

Jake tuckered out after playing in the leaves...he loves his "Pop pop's chair!"
