Carnival Party

 I thought we'd make use of our back deck.

 Jake and Emma had a blast.

And we did it all again the very next day.

Jake's famous words "This is the most awesome day ever!"

Cooking channel

Mom has been watching the cooking channel a little too much. Fried cheese raviolis and made from scratch donuts. Jake approves.

Jake at school

The kids get to spend the first half hour or so playing at their desks. Jake still LOVES going to school. Lately, after school, Jake likes to announce that he DID NOT get into a fight that day. We were told a while back that Jake and another boy were rough housing and it got out of hand. Jake explains that they both had one another by the neck but Jake was being choked so Jake PUNKED the other boy on the back. Jake repeated, "I PUNKED him like this, I PUNKED him on the back." I'm sure you figured out what he was trying to say. Needless to say, Jake learned a new word that day.... PUNCHED.

That is not the end of the story though. After he explained {and I laughed} I asked if he got in trouble. Jake said about the other boy, " He got timeout." I asked if he {Jake} got timeout. Jake said, "Of course not!"

That is why he announces a FIGHT FREE day.

Oh, the laughs this boy brings into our lives is priceless.



Emma enjoys the noise in Jake's classroom. She will just sit still and watch everyone. One little gal asked if she was a DOLL. So cute!

Here, we are waiting to take school pictures with Jake. Emma and Jake match and Emma is wearing her first pair of shoes. Hopefully, we will have Easter pictures sent out to all.

Hugs, steph

Emma plays

Emma is rocking back and forth ....and singing you could say.







Look at that fist pump. 

Emma will be 8 months old tomorrow. She is growing up way to fast!

Cake pops

We made cake pops for one of the football playoff games.

Jake likes to help in the kitchen these days....

The pops were a big hit.

Our little cake pop tester.....

I think he approves!

Emma grips & grabs

Lumberjake

Jake spots Dad from inside the house with his chainsaw so Jake grabs his and takes off running.... "Dad, Dad, I help!"

 I'll take care of this end Dad!

Dad, I hope you don't mind if I take out this tree while I'm at it.

I think Jake has one eye closed while he works.

OK, I see some trees over here.....

Jake had fun working with Dad.
This chainsaw actually moves. Jake looks so smart when he turns it on a presses the buttons to make it work. He even has his hands in a safe position. Safety first!
