One Cute Baby!!

So, last weekend Jake and I got to go to California to see the newest member of the family...LOGAN!! And isn't he cute?!

It was so fun to see him...not to mention Kyle and Trisha (but mostly just Logan) :) Jake had his first plane ride, and get this - he was good!! I can't say much for the rest of the trip, but for the plane ride...he was an angel!! It was so nice to have the warm weather again, and did I mention it was SNOWING in Poky while we were there? Wow...really sad I missed that. Anyways, here are a few pics of the trip. Enjoy!!

Happy Birthday Shaner!!

Jake and I just wanted to wish Shane a Happy Birthday, and tell him that we love him so much! Here are a few pics of our wonderful husband and dad!! We love you Shane!

The End of Summer...

So, it's here. The end of summer. I hate to say it, but I was kind of looking forward to it this year. I officially quit my job on August 22nd and I'm going back to school full time. It's going to be a nice change, and who knows - maybe some day I'll finish! Anyways, Jake and I celebrated our last free weekend with a trip to the cabin, Shane-less. Unfortunately, Shane had to work all weekend, but we were able to survive without him! :) We headed to Island Park with my Mom, Dad, Cory, Ashley, Bubba, and of course Muddie. We all had a good time, and we even discovered a new favorite past time in Yellowstone - SWIMMING!! I don't know how many times I've been dragged through that park and I've never been able to enjoy FIRE HOLE! It was fabulous. Jake thoroughly enjoyed the car seat break and a little dip in the water. Cory, Bubba and I tried our hand at swimming up stream and scaling rocks for a little adventure - If you jumped in the rapids at exactly the right spot the current would take you for quite a ride and spit you back out at the bottom. It was actually really fun, and a little harder than it looked! Here are a few pics of our last summer outing!


If you couldn't tell, Jake has been really into keys, climbing and puppies. He loved playing fetch with Mudd down at the river, and would get pretty excited when she found the stick and brought it back. But I'd have to say that his obsession with "teys" (keys) is what made the trip. He was in heaven with all the keys that were lying around the cabin, and wasn't quite satisfied until he knew exactly what hole they fit into - and don't even try giving him fake keys, believe me, he knows better.

Camera Blues

Sorry for the long lapse in posts (kyle). Part of the reason I haven't posted anything lately is because I HATE my camera. The recharge time is absolutely ridiculous, and the "moment" is long gone by the time it actually takes the picture. I just end up getting pictures like this:

And he was being so cute.....anyways....Here is the camera I really want. (not to mention it's red). Let me know what you think, or if you have a better idea!
Here are a few random pics of Jake from the last few weeks. He's growing up so fast! He absolutely loves to be outside, and every time someone opens a door he starts saying "bye bye bye" and tries to escape!

Kinda blurry...I know...I blame the camera. Still one cute kid though!

And Shane wonders why I'm going insane while he's gone!!


This picture almost captures Jake's gargoyle wings that he has when he's trying to run....very cute, and quite amusing!

Yeah...that's right, he had two popsicles. Problem??

Check out the dog....now you know why she gets sent to her room on a regular basis.

Pool Time!!

It was finally warm today! YAY!! I wanted to get a little sun today, so Jake and I decided it would be a nice day for the pool! Jake only lasted about 20 minutes, and probably had more fun drinking the pool water, than actually playing in it, but none the less, we had a blast! I couldn't resist taking a few pictures (okay, a lot) because he's so dang cute in his swim suit!!

I loved this picture...

told ya....

Check out those abs!!!

CUTE CUTE BABY!!

Good to be Home!

I just got back from Women's Conference yesterday. I had a really good time, but it is good to be home. The conference itself was really good, and the company was even better. I really missed Shane and Jakey. It was SOOO cold there, I couldn't believe that it was May! It's nice to see the sunshine today, much better than the SNOW yesterday! Well....5 weeks down and 5 to go of Shane's training, I can't wait for him to be done. Sunday's have become my least favorite day! Here are some cute pics of my favorite guys!!

Incidently, Jakey now loves the "Vroom Vroom"!!

One down, many to go...

Nothin like jumping on the bandwagon! I enjoy reading everybody else's blogs and pages, that I thought I better start my own! I need to get some pictures out to everyone, and thought this would be an easy way! Anyways....Life is good right now. Shane is at POST training for his new job at the Pocatello Police Department, so I'm a single parent right now (at least during the week)! It hasn't been too bad, but I definitely wouldn't want to do this full time! I like having someone else for Jakey to scream at occassionaly! Jake is getting sooo big, he's walking like a maniac, and finds everything that I don't want him to find! He is absolutely fascinated with the toilet and that it actually flushes...can't tell you how many times i've had to wash his hands after he's stuck them in the water! I guess it's a good thing they're clean, right? He's still obsessed with puppies, and thinks that he sees them everywhere we go. I think he dreams about them and balls because that's the first thing he says when he wakes up.." Puppy Puppy Puppy Ball??" He's adorable.
