Slumpin

Goodness, I have been in a blogging slump.  
Just not that much interesting going on in these parts.  

Guess I can always post pictures of some cute kiddos!  :)
This was taken at Beth's house last week when the husbands were at the Sugar Bowl.
{Sweet cousins}

Even though I despise cold weather, I really wish it would come a good snow just to take the boys' picture. :)
This past summer I came across snow boots and a snow suit for Jacob at a consignment store that I snatched up!
I'm a terrible mother, I have never let Jacob play in the snow.
Only because he didn't have the right attire.  This year, I'm ready to throw him in it. :)

Oh, here's a funny conversation between Jacob and I tonight:

J:  Mommy... the tv is broken.
Me:  what's wrong?
J:  it's not on.

Pin it Down

Chick Hicks

Jacob's current obsession is the movie Cars.
Yeah, we're a little late in introducing him to that movie, but that's OK.

His loves Lighting McQueen or as he calls him, Rookie, as well as Mater and Doc.
But he really loves Chick.

Before Christmas, he didn't have any of the toys.
My nephew Luke had a few, and he left Chick over here one day and ever since, Jacob was obsessed.
We kept reminding him that it was Luke's and we would have to give it back.  He was OK with that.
I told him I would have to go to the store and get him one, and for days he would ask me if I bought him Chick.  He asked so many times that he eventually turned his request into a command.  
As in, "mommy, go buy me chick."  HA!  

I searched high and low and finally found one (yesterday!) - thank goodness!
I surprised him with it after picking him up from daycare.  He was in heaven (because we had already given Luke's back).  Well this morning we were leaving for daycare, and I was putting Levi in the car and I shut the door and Jacob asked "where's Chick?"  And he pointed to the grill of my car.  
He put it in there!  

I popped the hood and couldn't see it, then got on my knees and looked underneath, still couldn't see it.
I said sorry Jacob, he's gone.  I said we'll get Daddy to look tonight.
He got the biggest tears in his eyes.  

I figured it would fall out once I got on the road.
Kris came home for lunch and he saw it, so I grabbed my camera. :)
{sorry for the dirty bumper}

We got it out, and it's now safe and sound.  
Actually it's in Jacob's car seat and I thought I would leave it there and surprise him when I pick him up.  :)

Oh, and I can't wait to take him to the movies to see Cars 2 this summer!

You got a little something right there, no... there

I had forgotten that I gave Jacob some mini oreos, until I saw this:

It actually looks funnier when he's not smiling.  Almost like a little goatee.  :)

Go Hogs Go!

Levi, are you ready to call those Hogs!?!?

Wooooooo Pig Sooooiiieeeee!!!

Did I hear right that Daddy got to go to the Sugar Bowl?

He did!  Guess we'll have to look for him on tv.
Or play with cars.

I'm so happy that Kris got to go.  He works so hard, such long hours.
And with school finally over, he deserves to have some fun!
But I am ready for him to be home too :)

p.s.  my hat is off to all the single mothers/fathers.
Just the little taste I've had of it is overwhelming.  
Here's to you!

Caution-Construction Work Ahead

Aunt B got Jacob his first tool set for Christmas, all 100 pieces!  I kid, it's only like 30!

He loves it!

Hopefully Jacob will be a great handyman just like his Daddy!

First post of 2011

Woody wanted to make a reappearance.  :)
Oh, and I am taking that tree down tomorrow!  
For some reason, I just want it all put away and my house back in some order!
If that's even possible with 2 munchkins! :)

Speaking of munchkins, I'm so gonna miss this gummy smile!
No signs of any teeth yet, which is fine by me!
I just love this sweet baby face!

I hope you are having a fabulous 1.1.11!
