stinky

Jake is beyond terrified of stinky the garbage. So much that stinky lives in a closet in the basement. This closet is now where I hid presents because I know there is no way he would go near it. When I say terrified, I mean he freaks out, he told me he is garbage and needs to thrown away. I'm not tossing a $60  toy. I keep it hoping he will get over it. 

I was being productive and started wrapping presents this morning. Nathan was playing nicely and Jake was at school. Nathan followed me to the present closet and took stinky out to play with. He thought he was hysterical and loved feeding him cars. I'm going to show Jake these pictures later and I do not think he will very happy.

This sweet little face now opens the fridge, and we know with this one that could only mean trouble. Now I need to find a good fridge lock. 

getting ready

Jake was very excited for Aunt Krisitn to come in for Thanksgiving, he was even more excited that she was going to stay at our house this time. Jake helped me get her room ready and even told me that he could babysit her since she was staying at our house.  Jake was a big help getting some of the stuff made ahead on Wednesday. As you can tell by his face he enjoyed sampling.

This year Jake's class were the Native Americans and the other 4 year-old class were the pilgrims. The 4 year-olds were the host for preschool feast. Their feast consisted of frosted turkey sugar cookies, cornbread muffins and several other sweets.  Jake was very eager to show of all the projects he has been working hard on. If you ask Jake what he is thankful for he will tell you his toys, at least he is honest.

alex's 2nd birthday party

This was a special day, this was this first party that Nathan was invited too that Jake tagged along. Alex is a little boy from Nathan's parent/toddler class. The party was at Chuck E Cheese and the boys had so much fun running around and playing games.

I can't believe how grown up he is looking these days. Kelly does such a wonderful with the boys, Jake loves Kelly and how she plays and interacts with him them the entire photo shoot. It makes for such a fun experience. I'm actually already trying to figure out dates for his 5 year old photo shoot!

Nathan at 2

We recently had a photo shoot with Kelly Rama from makpics, she completely out did herself! She did such an amazing job of capturing Nathan's spunky and silly personality.
