My First Soccer Game

Jake started organized soccer last weekend.  His team is the Yellow Giraffes.  You would think he is being sponsored by Umbro with all the soccer gear he has.  

The Last 9 Months

OK, so the last 9 months have been a little crazy and unfortunately we haven't updated the blog on a regular basis. In order to get you caught up, here is a brief summary of our past 9 months....

     
September - We all live in Kansas now.



October - Halloween costumes that pay homage to our new home state of Kansas.

This is just a cute picture!

November - Our every other year professional photo shoot.




December - Christmas in NY with Buzz Lightyear.



Hanging with Bailey on the floor



January - Spent some time with Mickey at Disney Land.



March - Grandma and Pop Pop came to visit us in Kansas.

April - Check out all the goodies the Easter Bunny left.



I am Batman/Spidey/The Easter Bunny!



May - A family photo for school



June - Eating a pretzel at the farm. Go Mets!

Now you are all caught up with the past few months. Time to resume the blog on a more regular basis. See you soon.

Happy Halloween

Yes, it has been a long time since our last post. Sorry for the vacation from the blog, but we have had a lot of changes and a couple of moves since our last post. We will try to post some pics from this summer soon. For now, here is a look at our night. Happy Halloween!!



"This is a very nice way...."




Getting ready (and eating Skittles)!







Jake had a parade and party at school and we were so happy to be there for it.
I loved it when my Mom helped out with parties at school. And speaking of my Mom....thanks to Grandmother for making the hat. It makes the costume!

Arbor Day Festival

Eggs

This year marks our inaugural Easter egg coloring. It was fun but challenging with a sometimes "terrible two" who is very independent. But we had fun and loved the process (OK, Mom and Dad might have had the most fun).

Grandma and "Pop Pop"

Jake has been so blessed to be able to hang out with his grandparents twice a week this fall, winter and early spring. They have so much fun together, and we are so thankful for them!

Backyard Fun (More Bubbles)

I don't think we've been outside in the backyard these last few weeks without the bubbles. He loves to push the button to "activate" the bubbles and to stop them. If we let him, he would carry the bubble machine all over the yard and put it in different places. But the bubble solution ends up spilling all over, so it has to stay mostly in one place. I'm thinking we will be seeing LOTS of bubbles this summer!





Taking a break to play some ball with Bailey.
