Bribery, More Tattoo's, and Therapy

This is how I may or may not bribe my children so that I can get some things done!

Jake and his tatt's
...On his chubby knees this time.

We found out this week that Jake does qualify for Speech Therapy through the state's Early Intervention program. His first therapy session is scheduled for Dec. 9th. I am happy to be able to get him into this program and to help him learn the tools he needs to be able to communicate better. I am anxious to see his progress!

A Day At the Park With Mommy...

Last Saturday, since Curt had to work,

I decided that the boys deserved to do something fun!

So we made some PB & J sandwiches and

drove to a fun park located about a mile from our house.

We had a picnic at the park and it was a lot of fun!

Unfortunately, we weren't able to stay as long as I had planned because someone had a poopy diaper and guess who forgot to bring a spare diaper and some wipes??

ME!! I made it up to the boys though because I took them to ANOTHER park later that day after Jake had woken up from his nap.

...Having a hard time getting everyone's noggin in the picture...so I opted for indiv. shots with Mom.

Jake (below) makes this hilarious face when we tell him to smile!

This picture of Jake is so cute because I had asked him where Mommy was...and I got a shot of him pointing to me.

As we were leaving, the kids spotted a Road Runner!

We HAD to get some pictures! Jake and Ty were chasing it, of course!

Posts From Luke

A couple of weeks ago, Luke somehow got on this kick of wanting his own blog.
We decided that rather than him having his own,
he could type whatever he wanted on here.
Here are his first two posts...
...................................................................

My dad is so sweet!

He pulled my tooth out on Sunday!

I’m glad now.I have 4 teeth missing!

I love my mom so much that

one day I kept doing nice stuff to her.

One day at school I kept doing nice stuff

to my nice teacher.

Jake's 2-Year Stats

Jake weighs 31.8 lbs and is 36" tall!

He is in the 88th percentile for both height and weight.

(Ty outweighs Jake by only about 4 or 5 lbs.)

He is growing up WAY TOO fast!

Daddy put this hat on Jake and took pictures of him being silly one night when Mommy was gone.

Jake LOVES to put stickers on his arms.

We call them his tatt's.

Jake's first involvement in the brothers' sleepovers.

It will be a while before he's allowed to be part of the club again :)

Birthday Hazing!

Our 3 other co-conspirators were unable to make it that night,

but I'm sure they'll make up for it!

The Boys' "Beach House"!

The kids love to take all of the cushions and pillows off of the couches

and build a "beach house" for them to hide in.
(Maybe they'll build a real one for their momma some day!)

Forts!
