That Naughty Papa

Ty and I were having fun this afternoon coloring.

He said to me...

"Mom, you're silly!! But Papa isn't silly.

He's BAD because he doesn't wear his seatbelt sometimes."

Shame on you, Papa!

Our Little Jack-O-Lantern

Luke lost his 3rd tooth a couple of days ago!! Daddy was at work, so no pliers were involved this time. Luke was so nervous for me to pull out that tooth, but I wasn't giving up! After trying to give him pep talks, he was still freaking out. So I practically had to pin him down and I barely touched his tooth with my fingernail....and the tooth FELL OUT! Immediately, the tears stopped and his face was filled with a huge smile.

One more dollar from the Tooth Fairy!

Way to go, Luke!!

Celebrating Jake!

Jake's due date was October 17th, 2006. This is what I looked like at about 36 weeks. Ready to pop!

Sweet baby Jake was born on October 9th 2006...weighing 8 lbs. 8 oz. and was my biggest baby thus far!

Since Jake loves animals, I decided to do a farm cake. It's not one of my favorite cakes I've done, but the kids liked it and that's all that matters!

The birthday boy by his cake!

Blowing out the candle!

This kid LOVES chocolate (or anything sweet. Just like his momma!)

Some toys we bought with birthday money from Papa and Grandma Debbie!

Jake LOVES Go Diego Go!

Monda, Greg, and their girls came...as well as Ashlie, Alayna, and Grandma and Grandpa Holbrook! Jake was great entertainment as we watched him open his presents. I think he was most excited about the packages of M&M's Grandma had taped in his new dump truck!

Jake would practically disappear every time he tried reaching into this huge bag full of presents!

I'm TWO!!

Swing, Batter!

...3 Months Later!

For 3 MONTHS I have kept forgetting to post these way cool family pictures that Steph took of the Holbrook clan in July!

Matt, Natalie, and their 3 cute kiddos came down from Utah to visit. The boys had fun playing with their cousins at Grandma's house while Mommy went to radiation during the week. I think the best time was had by all when we all drove to Snowflake to spend the weekend at the cabin!

It was fun, but we wish Matt, Nat, and the kids lived closer so we could see them more often.

The Holbrook Grandkids!

The Whole Clan

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAKE!!

My baby turns 2 today!!

We aren't having his party until the 13th, so I will add pictures after then.

WANTED!!

This morning at approximately 8:30am, the "Streaker Bandit" forced himself into my kitchen and ransacked my drawers, while looking for the black spatula. If anyone has any information that would lead to the apprehension of this suspect, please notify us immediately! (Or notify us if you think he is just too stinkin cute, too!)

This bandit has also been known to disguise himself with glasses that were stolen from Mr. Potato Head.

Cool Cat...

On Monday, I picked up Ty and Boston from preschool. They were both VERY excited to show me their new sunglasses that they got from the treasure box. As soon as Ty put his on, however, the ear piece fell off. I put the ear piece back on, and as he was trying to put the glasses on again, one of the lenses popped out!! I was laughing so hard, but Ty was not amused. He was getting very sad/angry that his glasses kept breaking. I fixed them again, and said a silent prayer to myself that they wouldn't break again. I was not looking forward to the melt down it would cause!

Typical "Ty face" with that little chin and his top lip sticking out!

Am I cool or what??!!

Silly Jake

I was in the kitchen putting away dishes and when I looked over to see what Jake was doing, THIS is what I saw!! I was laughing so hard! He was laying so still in the laundry basket ON TOP of the table. His little (well...not really "little") body was squished into this basket. Funny kid.

I LOVE this smile!!
