Squinkie Wedding

Jake got a hold of my camera the other day, and this is what I found. I cracked up!!! Especially after he explained to me that the Squinkies were getting married in these pictures! He also put a Lego helmet on the Wolverine squinkie just for the wedding : )

Just Like Dad

 

Preschool Halloween Party

Jake's preschool teacher, Miss Sandy, put on an amazing Halloween party for the kids! Jake had so much fun!

Luke Gets His Bear Badge

Luke earned his Bear badge and was awarded it last night! He really does enjoy Cub Scouts and I'm grateful for the values, life skills, and responsibility it has helped him learned. When he turns 10 in December, he will be moving on to Webelo's! Way to go, Luke! We are so proud of you and love you very much!!

So Long. Farewell.

Several days ago, we said good-bye to our two cats, Cooper and Shadow. It was a sad day for all of us, but, in the long run, it's for the best.

Luke's last night with his buddy Shadow. Such a rough night for our boy :(



Cooper riding in the van with me as we moved up to Utah.

Shadow

Ty had put a Lego on Shadow's head and it stayed there for a long time!

With Curt's job, we are most likely going to be relocating numerous times over the next several years and not having pets to move with us each time will definitely make things easier. Although it's been sad, we are hopeful that the cats have both found good homes where they will be loved.

Jake Turns FIVE!!

Jake turned 5 on October 9th! He chose dinner and shopping with Mom & Dad, instead of a big party. We took him to Red Robin the day before since his birthday fell on a Saturday. Jake requested Mac'N Cheese for his dinner and a chocolate shake. We had a fun time with our little guy and are so grateful to have him in our family! We love you, Jake!!

At home with his new Squinkies!



Daddy and Jake (and the balloon that he picked out for himself). Jake also wanted to spend some of his bday $ to get a balloon for his 2 brothers, too! Such a thoughtful boy!
