Dinner with Spiderman

Tonight we went to a local Chick-fil-A for Superhero night. We were very excited because we knew that Spiderman was going to be there for pictures and autographs. The first time we went to get pictures with Spidy Cody was very nervous and didn't want to stand by him. After a tummy full of chicken and half a ice cream cone I finally convinced him to try again. The second try was a charm we got a great picture and he was talking Spiderman's head off, they became best friends! The owners of this resturant sure know what they are doing, at one point in the evening people were waiting for tables, the place was packed. We sure had fun and I think Cody will be talking about it for a while.

Jake was not too sure about Spiderman but funny thing is that when we handed Jake to Spiderman he seemed as unsure about holding a baby. Me and Robert just know that he was thinking " uh, dad I didn't know I was going to have to hold babies" He was a great Spiderman but from the looks of it he may not yet be a high school graduate:)

Getting Spiderman's autograph

Busy Boys

The boys have been pretty busy lately. Cody finally got his new bike that we promised him for his birthday. Everyday that it is nice outside he is out there riding around. He learned about gravity on the first ride and is now a bit more careful.

Jake has a new found love of Trucks. He loves pushing toy trucks all over the house, I think it is so funny to see a little guy so into playing with trucks already but that is what Jake loves to do most, play, play, play! We bought him a truck just like the one of Cody's he liked so now the boys have fun playing trucks together.
He drives this truck all around the kitchen table and all over the house, he's a truck boy!

Cody thinks it is so fun when Jake plays with him, he loves Jake so much and I love watching them play together.

February Fishing

On any given weekend, no matter the weather, if you ask Cody what he wants to do the answer is always the same, he always says he wants to go huntin' and fishin'. Yes Robert has him trained very well. On Valentines day we gave in and took him fishing. Even though it was only mid 30's outside, Cody had a blast. Robert kept telling him that it was pretty cold so they should go back to the truck but Cody wasn't having it, he loves to fish and throw rocks into the lake. Robert had to drag him back to the truck, he just loves to be out in nature, very much his father's son!

Freezin' but lovin every minute of it!

Jake's 9 month Photo Shoot

Yesterday I took Jake to get his 9 month pictures taken. I was just planning on getting one or two poses of just Jake because we just had Cody's pic's taken, but of course they took such cute pictures that I got suckered into a whole package worth of pictures, oh well! Jake was sure smiley and was enjoying this photo shoot much more than the one before Christmas. I can't believe he is 9 months already, time flies. He is getting around much faster these days and loves, loves to just play. He loves Cody and his dogs and of course his mom and dad. We love you too Jakie!

Photo Shoot

Just some fun pictures

Walking with his walker, he thinks it's so funny!

Robert had to shovel the lawn to create this snowman and snow fort, you do what you have to!

Cutie Patutie!

Kansas Whitetail's

Ok I have been getting a lot of flack for not doing a post on the Deer hunting here in Kansas so here it goes. Robert shot his first Whitetail deer this season. He was very excited to bring it home to show Cody and the excitement was mutual. There have been several deer hung in my garage this season and Cody is always excited to check them out. Robert got this deer's antlers made into a European mount and that is hanging in our guest/dog room, I thought that was pretty nice of me to allow, it actually looks very nice.

Robert's 10 point Kansas Whitetail Deer

At the first of December Robert's brother Jason came out to visit/hunt, mostly the hunt part. He was after a monster Whitetail of his own and boy did they find one for him. This was the biggest buck that Robert had ever seen in the area that they hunt. It made the record books and is currently at the taxidermist being mounted to hang in Jason's house. The deer had part of a fence stuck in it's antlers when he shot it and all the guys thought that was pretty cool. I kept suggesting that they take the fence off for the pictures but apparently I didn't get it.

Well I am looking forward to this years deer season when I can walk out in my garage and smell the fresh venison and see the blood stained wall, oh the memories! I'm just joking, well not really but I don't mind it too much. Robert is lucky to have such a loving wife that let's him hang dead deer in the garage and have dead birds in her freezer, I must love him I guess!

Time to organize

Since it's the new year we thought we would try to organize the house a bit. Robert wanted to make shelves in the garage for our shoes so he went around and got out all the kids shoes to see what fit who and so on. We came up with 66 pairs of shoes for the boys. He was a bit flabbergasted but I quickly reminded him that all those shoes are from the ages of 0-4yrs. He had to set them all up to make it look worse than it really was, well OK it did look a bit like a shoe store but he is just lucky that we don't have a girl, I guarantee it would have been much worse than this. Oh yes and do take note of the wonderful outfit that Cody wore for the day!
