Just wanted to wish everyone a very happy St. Patty's day! We had a fun day in our 80 degree weather. We dressed in green and went to the park! Yep it was definitely shorts weather here today
Cody and his green cupcake
As you can see from the picture above, Jake is getting a little better at walking. He mostly still crawls but he takes about 5 steps at a time from time to time throughout the day, he is getting braver and will be off and running before we know!
Last weekend we had really nice weather here so we tried to take advantage of it by doing things outside. Jake learned all about grass, and he hates it. It was so funny, he would just sit there with his hands up so they wouldn't touch the brownish green prickly stuff. For a boy who is constantly on the move it was strange to put him down and for him to stay there with no intentions of moving. Hopefully he will get a little more use to it as the weather warms up! He just sat for quite a while and watched Robert and Cody play baseball. Later that night we started a fire and roasted smores, we were excited to get the fire pit going again. Ahh what is this stuff, he's laughing in the pic below! One of the highlights of the weekend for Robert and Cody was launching their Rocket that they made together. Cody had been looking forward to it for a couple of weeks and was so excited to see how high they went. He would help Robert press the launch buttons and then he would watch for it to come down so he could chase after it. We launched the two rockets that we had about half a dozen times, I was even allowed to launch a couple. We had one that almost came down on top of a cow so that was pretty funny. I took a little video of Cody explaining the launching process so enjoy........
Robert and I have been married for 10 years. We have 2 beautiful little boys who keep us on our toes. Cody is full of energy and the smartest little guy ever. Jake is a little sweetie that we are so happy to have in our lives. We moved across the country to Kansas in January of 2008 for a job opportunity Robert was given. I still miss Utah, it has been a huge adjustment moving so far from family and friends but with every new friend we meet here it gets easier and easier to make the transition.
-Yesterday I had to go get a eye exam so I left Robert with the boys and after I told Cody bye he looked at Robert and said "Dad, Mom's leaving, now we can do whatever we want!"
-Tonight when he was waiting for Robert to get his towel so he could get out of the tub, I heard him yell "Dad, get me outta here, I'm freekin cold."
-He was looking at a pic of me and Robert on our honeymoon in Disneyland and I was explaining to him that a honeymoon is something you go on after you get married. He looked at me and said matter of factly "I just want to go to Disneyland, I don't want to get married. I just want mickey mouse ears and then I will come home, not married!"
-I was playing trains with him the other day and he all the sudden said "Wait my brain just hatched a idea" and then he proceeded to move the trains around to how he wanted them.
-Yesterday he was playing with Jake trying to make him smile and he did, he was so excited and exclaimed "Mom, his first smile, where is his baby book so we can write it down?"
-This morning he said "I love you mom, your always there when I need you." Talk about melting a mom's heart!

You know you live in the Midwest when your best pick-up line is "Hey baby, want me to check you for ticks?"
You know you need a night out when your defination of alone time is when the kids fall asleep in the back of the car.
You might be a redneck if... your child recognizes camoflage as one of the primary colors, which Cody does.
