Happy St.Patricks Day!!

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!

Oh to be outside again

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........

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!
