I am SOOO behind on our blog, and for that I apologize....This is a long post, have fun!
We have been having so much fun lately! Tyler and Jacob...especially Jacob...have been growing up so fast! Jacob is getting SOOO big, he's my Chunker Munker...Chunky Monkey...Michelin Man...Chubs...and any other names you can think of to describe my cute-not so little-baby. Tyler just continues to suprise us each day with the things he knows. He is slowly getting better at his ABC's and 123's, although right now counting starts at 3 and not 1. :) He is not yet potty trained, although he does have his own potty, and sits on it every now and then. One day...one day...I just remind myself of something I heard once "There has never been a 16-yr old who wasn't potty trained." :) I'm hoping that him seeing his cousin Evan in big boy undies now will encourage him in the right direction.
We've been going out a lot more now. We like to go play with Evan, Allison and Aunt Bekah a lot, as well as with his new friends Jackson and Liam (sp?)- whom he is doing his preschool with in a few weeks. We like to go to the Zoo and have also ventured over to the Botanical Garden's here as well.
Jack has been working a lot lately because they are just finishing up a project. It's been a little rough with him being gone a lot more than usual, but somehow I'm surviving. He has been given the "Boss" hat temporarily because his boss was out of town for a while. I am so proud of how well he has done at this new job, he has only been there 6 months and already was handed this great oppurtunity to showcase his skills in front of some top dogs in the company! We feel that many great things will come from this move, and we think...keyword think...we'll stay here for a while, but who knows!
Okay- so here's the rest of the update in pictures and videos!
Jacob's Blessing- We blessed Jacob at church on August 3, 2008. He was quite the big baby...not the typical newborn being blessed. He didn't fit in his blessing outfit, we had to leave the top button of his pants unbuttoned (as you'll notice in the second picture) because he is so chubby already. It gave everyone a good laugh. Jack's brother's family came to be there as well.
Jacob loves his big brother SO much, his face just lights up when Tyler comes into his view. Tyler loves to make his baby brother laugh too, here is a video I took earlier this month.
We are so lucky that our children are always so happy! Crying is a rare occurance with our babies, and for that, I am thankful for every day!!!!
Jack's brother recently got the Wii Fit game...Tyler learned a new form of exercise...I'll let the video speak for itself.... "Oga mommy, Oga!"
It's a zoo here...literally....we have a season pass to the Zoo here in Omaha, and go a few times a month, Tyler really enjoys it, and I use it as a form of exercise. Pushing two 20lb kids in a double stroller up and down hills is hard work! So anyway, Tyler got out his animal toys a few weeks back and told me he was feeding them. Yummy pizza!
Tyler loves playing with his blocks with daddy...and Jack loves playing with the blocks as much as Tyler! Daddy built Tyler a guitar to play with (Tyler LOVES playing with pretend guitars all the time!). They also like to build robots, a garage for Tylers Hot Wheels, and they like to see how tall of a tower they can build.
