I have been bad about updating the other site lately so there are a few random shots of the kids on here. Jake is loving school. He tells me everyday "Jakie have fun at school" when I pick him up. He had made some friends in class and is doing well. He is talking very well now. He has really turned into a big boy lately! As you can see from the last post he has potty trained and is doing well with it. When I was a kid I use to always have to go to the bathroom when we were out places (my parents said I just wanted to check the place out),well I think Jake has a bit of that too.


When I took out all of the Halloween stuff Jake became OBSESSED with pumpkins. Whenever we see one (driving down the road, in the neighborhood...) he spots it. We bought a pumpkin for the pumpkin patch and never carved it because Jake has it in his room next to his bed!

Posing with his pose of pumpkins!

He is in pumpkin heaven!

I've got the one's I want!

How do people get both kids to look (and smile) at the camera at the same time?!?!?

Ashlyn is OOOing at all of the pumpkins

Still OOOing!!

Just before the Tampa Bay Rays won their division (while Mike was out of town) I cut Jake's hair into a ray-hawk (mohawk). Mike didn't know I cut it until about a week after it happened. We always talk about how silly kids look with crazy hair , but Jake actually looked really cute! What do you think!?!

This one was just too cute to not put on here. He is such a happy kid!

I wonder where he gets his goofiness from?

Ashlyn loves the pool.

Ashlyn loves to read the books. She has to pull out all of them before deciding which one she wants to read.

She is screaming with joy in this picture and Jake is looking at her like she is nuts!

This is what we do for enjoyment at our house...walk around with hampers over our heads!

Ashlyn showing off her climbing skills!

She also loves to put bowls or strainers on her head.

She was full of smiles this day!
