Happy Valentine's Day .....

....From Jacob! Oreo is thinking "please drop that thing, it looks yummy!"

Winter 09-10

So these are some pics ..... still have many many more to off-load!

This was just today, he really didn't like the snow!

I visited my niece's school for Grandparent's Day ..... this is Regan during art class:

Emma G in homeroom:

Alyssa is front and center doing her jump rope performance that won first place in the school talent competition!

Jacob helping daddy blow out his birthday cake/candle

Just my handsome boy!

Jacob on the train all by himself, that's Callie in front of him.

Grocery shopping at the Science museum on New Year's Day

This was from the snow a few months back .... he kept calling the snowballs his "snowmen" - he STILL asks about them!

All about Christmas gifts

My niece's making ornaments at Vetro in Grapevine

Jacob at a birthday party

Jacob eating his 3rd piece of birthday cake, i.e., three different cakes - I did not let him eat three pieces at once! Perhaps mommy went over board this year!

For Andrea .....

J playing with his new "daddy approved, pink/purple-free" kitchen:

Mallie & Tara rockin' out

Gates, Callie and Keelan at the park!

Jacob and Andrew being silly at lunch yesterday.

Not a very exciting post, but I have one's from his birthdayS that I need to post -- but am waiting for celebration #3 to occur. Can't believe my baby is two on Friday :-( ..... also on Friday, baby Sprout is 16 weeks along! Which means we should find out gender very soon.

Pink Monsters and Mascara'd Boys

Long story short ..... Jason LOVES Franken Berry the cereal. Looks for it every year around Halloween - that's the only time they put it out. He was so proud to find two boxes on clearance at Target. Well, me and my developing fetus had a major sugar craving last week and had some of his treasured Franken Berry. And perhaps me and the developing fetus had more the next day also - and the next. I tried to tell the fetus "No, that's daddy's!" -- but alas, the fetus' power over me was too strong!
Anyways, the Franken Berry was gone and me and the developing fetus were quite pleased with our Franken Berry consumption. However, Jason was not. He was convinced his seasonal, treasured Franken Berry was gone for a whole year. He apparently expressed (complained) to his brother the sadness of missing out on the Franken Berry. Then, yesterday a dozen boxes arrived at our house. I might be giving birth to a baby pink Frankenstein!

Also yesterday ...... Jacob was in our bathroom and while I ran to the kitchen for a minute to get ready for an awesome playgroup .... he squished his tiny hands into the inch opening of my baby-proofed make-up drawer and managed to get mascara. The picture explains the rest.

Grandma and Grandpa E got him a red wagon for his birthday .... he LOVES it!!!!

Playing in the fountain

My handsome husband that I (and the developing fetus) stole Franken Berry from ......

Halloween

Jenny took this at the arboretum, love it! I'll have to post my other arbortum pics soon - it was our first trip their and that place is gorgeous!
More random pics ..... Jacob decided to take a siesta on the kitchen floor, not quite sure why.

He hates when his hands get dirty and was chasing me around begging me to clean them!

Now for Halloween ... here's my sliding Itsy Bitsy Spider

Jumping Spider

We spent Halloween with my nieces and Grandpa/Mimi - it was a perfect day! Here's Regan as a disco chic, the wig only lasted about 5 minutes! (I don't know what the gang signs are about)

Jacob wondering who that is?

Emma as a kitty cat (she's making her kitty scowl face)

Miss Alyssa as a 70's Hippy Chic! It was great to know that their ARE still cute little girl costumes that don't make them look a "lady of the night."

Group photo .... after many takes.

Pumpkin Patch (2nd attempt)

On Saturday we attempted the Argyle pumpkin patch but ended up getting our car stuck in the mud .... then, after finally making our way into the patch a young girl came up to us and said "uh, did you pay to get in?" We answered, "no, we didn't see anyone asking us for money?" and the girl said, "uh, you need to walk all the way around and pay." We decided it was not meant to be and got in our muddy car and went out to eat instead. Then, Sunday morning we hit the Flower Mound patch .... it was perfect! Picture posting did not go so well, consider the anti-chronological nature a brain teeser for you.

Here's Jacob (as the Itsy Bitsy Spider) showing Elmo some love ....

My baby in jail!

Tonight we carved a pumpkin .... Jacob was digging the guts.

Me performing a little post-surgery clean-up

My baby in jail, again

Jacob going in for the love ....

Jacob scooping the guts out ... Oreo waiting for a seed

Oreo really wanting a seed

So back to the pumpkin patch (look alive out there) .... he LOVED the pumpkin house

He loved this wagon, it was tough getting him out of it ......

Entering the patch (so this really should have been the 1st picture)
