My little Artist

Jacob started drawing trains sometime in the summer. He has perfected them since. He also drew me a picture the other day of smiley faces, his second favorite thing to draw. I finally got a picture of his masterpiece. From left to right- Josh, Avrey, Jacob and do you see the little circle in the right corner? He says that is me because "I got small" I wonder what that is suppose to mean. I am pretty sure that I am about the same size I have always been. Funny boy:) Do you like Josh's arms and legs?

Avrey's First Birthday Party!

Avrey is one! Well, technically not until the 22nd but we already had her party. She was not sure what was going on but she seem to enjoy it. Opening presents was a little crazy because Jacob was helping and he would get one opened up and then move on quickly. Especially if it was clothes. It was cute. Best of all Avrey had her own cupcake which she loved! She was such lady with the cupcake. Making sure not to make too much of a mess of herself as you will notice in the last picture. Just a little bit on her face. Happy Birthday Avrey!

Playing with her new kitchen.

This is yummy!

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to Stoney Creek Pumpkin Patch. We took Jacob last year and decided that we wanted to make it a family tradition to go every year. We took a short hayride out to the pumpkin patch and then the fun began. We couldn't believe all the pumpkins this year. We don't remember seeing so many last year. Avrey loved the pumpkins! She would point to them and smack them. Jacob was excited to see all of the pumpkins. He was running around looking at all of them. We all had a great time!

Avrey's Walking!

She has been taking a few steps here and there over the last week or so. Over the last couple of days, she has taken more and more. She even made it across the living room without falling. Of course that is not the video that I captured. You know how it is when you get the camera out. She has not mastered the skill but I'm sure it won't take too long. The video shows the wobbliness of a new walker which I think is adorable.

Jacob and Avrey's First Sleepover

We celebrated our 6 year anniversary today. So this weekend we stayed downtown. We had dinner and even went to see a movie which we have not done in a long time. Jacob and Avrey stayed overnight at Meme Debbie's and Pa paw Ken's for the first time. They took a wagon ride and even got to visit Toys r Us. I was worried about Avrey going to bed, but she did great. Now Jacob on the other hand gave Meme and Papaw a little trouble. All was great until Meme mentioned brushing teeth, then Jacob realized mommy and daddy were not coming back that night. He shed a few tears and laid his little head on Meme and drifted to sleep at about 11:45pm. Overall Meme said they had a great time.

First Day of Preschool

Jacob's first day of preschool was last Wednesday and it went great. He walked in and waved goodbye. No tears from either one of us. My little boy is growing up. The pictures I snapped did not turn out so I will have to get some more.

Fun In The Sun!

We decided to play in the sprinkler ball and pool since it was 90 degrees today. The kids loved playing and daddy did too. Jacob loved running through the sprinkler ball and then jumping in the pool. Daddy even joined in with him! It was great seeing them run and have fun. Avrey enjoyed the pool, but also loved to stand by the sprinkler ball, but not too close. We finished the day off with popsicle's. Yummy!
