What we have been up to...

Ok Just to Start...Jake has been sitting in the Baby Swing, he LOVES it!! He watches movies in it, he will turn the music on and swing himself. On this occasion he fell asleep!! It was TOO Funny!! The WORST part about this though, is Jake really doesnt take naps much anymore. If he tells me he's tired, I run and get him to bed before I lose the opportunity. Anyways, Charlie gets home around 3 and I have no Idea what happens (I VOTE HE DRUGS HIM) but Jake falls asleep, and they both get a nap. It makes me mad, I need naps too!

This is our Neighbor boy, Tyler. Jake loves this kid. Tyler is 4 and Jake is 2 but they play so good together. Jake always tells me, " mom I play Tyler, peese" It is too cute, but it makes me realize just how fast Jake is growing up. Wanting to Play with friends, I am lucky though that he has one next door!! They are standing in a hole that Charlie dug a year ago to start putting up a fence, but it makes for a good play pit I guess!
This was a 70* day in November?? It was so nice we had to take FULL advantage of it, and spend like ALL DAY outside!
So my parents have a bird, and it has been really funny to watch Jake with it. He really used to not like it. He lets it stand on him now sometimes, until he starts walking around and Jake doesn't like the Claws. 2 things with this picture, first off Jake is CHEESING. He never used to smile, but I have got him saying "CHEESE". Cracks me up!! And I have a Smile, and the Bird...Both in the same pic, I am GOOD!

LOOK HOW DANG CUTE MY KIDS ARE!! Jake is such a GOOD Big Brother??

SOPHIE STATS:

27 in Long-45%ile

14.9 lbs- not even to the Chart yet, and it starts at 5%ile...But is getting CLOSE!

The doctor said that she needs to be around 20 lbs when she is 1...(which is in 3 months) She is growng up way too fast! But I thought 6 lbs in 3 months, YAH RIGHT!! She has gained the most weight the last 2 months and only gained 2.9 lbs, so I guess we will see!

GOT CABIN FEVER?? We did, so off to McDonald's we go!! Jake really has to get all that energy out, and our house is to small for that!

The new infamous CHEESER! He says, "cheese....ok me see?" Then proceeds to grab the camera so he can see his Picture, What a KID! He is talking so much now! It is so crazy that he is turning into a little boy, he isn't a baby any more!

OK Funny Picture! We were in Idaho at my Great Grandma's Funeral. We parked by this Grave, and I HAD to take a picture. Beer+Skiis=Death...Ok I had to!!

One of Jake's Daddy Naps as they are called now...and the Kitten thought Jake was Pretty Comfy!

Sophie's TEETH

Sophie has Been Crank-Y!! But she has a good reason...both her Bottom 2 Middle teeth came in. I feel so bad Jake's at least came in one at a time. She has been a Trooper, and really not that cranky Just more than Normal. I really did try to get a picture, she was NOT going to Cooperate!! But here it is anyways. And her Hair is FINALLY, FINALLY, coming in Halleluja... it is getting longer, but it is so dang Blonde anyone but me and Charlie can barely tell!! I put it up a couple days ago Because I was so excited, I cannot wait for Her first Ponytail!!

Jake's New favorite thing is to play with stickers and color. Which is totally fine with me EXCEPT that he loves to Color on EVERYTHING (besides what he is supposed to) and Puts stickers Everywhere, I have had to invest in GOO GONE!! I have been letting him have some projects to do in his High Chair so I can get some things done, and yes I am one of those Playdough Moms. But back to the Coloring and Sticker thing... I have been trying to teach him the correct way to play with these items; so I stuck him in his High Chair, gave him some old stickers of mine, a book to put them in, and some crayons. He went to town!! Anyways here are some of his pictures.

No Pictures, BUT Exciting News...

No I am not Pregnant...

So My Brother KAI Comes home on Wednesday!! I am so dang excited, I couldn't realize that it had really been that long. But then I started thinking:

He Left when Jake was 1 Month Old, and He is Now TWO!! Holy COW

I am sure that it is going to be a shocker, to have a 2 year old (Crazy too) Nephew, and a 8.5 Month old Neice...But I am sure he will Love it!! I have been teaching Jake to say Kai, and I got him a Picture of him too. So we will see what happens!! Anyways, Pictures to COME!!

Halloween Fright Night

We had a FUN Halloween. It was really fun for me that Jake was old enough to enjoy it. Although he was a little stinker, and was onry all day!! But I know he had fun because he didn't want to go home!! We went to my mom's ward Trunk or Treat. He had fun, and kept sneaking suckers out of his bag!! Jake was a Clown, and Sophie was a "Sweet Pea" Pod. They were both so dang Cute!! I on the other hand was a little weird, I really wanted to do something that involved a wig. So I found one and decided to be a Rock Chick, it was fun!! I got quite a few looks from people!! When we went Trick or Treating on Saturday, it took Jake a few houses, but here is what went down:

wanted to walk, and knock on the door (and not stop Knocking...LOL Sorry to those who had to witness that)

Tried to go into about 5 differnt houses before he knocked.

Said Trick or Treat 'before' they opened the door.

Took only one treat, unless they said 'go ahead have another one' and Jake took 4 more HANDFULS!! OOPs...I guess that is why they say 'don't give them an option' He took advantage.

Got scared of the Mummy on the door...and the Skulls leading up to the house. But I showed him they were ok, and tapped the one of the Skulls on the head.

Thought the Clap on Monsters were funny!!

Loves HIS SUCKERS!

asked for candy like so 'Candy, Jake, Please' Silly Kid!

Well we had a fun, safe, and somewhat warm Halloween. I hope everyone enjoyed theirs!!
