Circus fun

I GOT TO GO TO THE CIRCUS!!!!

I woke up Saturday Morning, I could tell it was a different morning. I wasn't sure what was going on, but I knew it would be Fun. And Boy, was it. Mommy and Daddy took me to Fort Wayne to see the Shriner's Circus. We had great seats, 4th row, seats 1, 2, and 3. The third seat we saved for Vicki. She has never been to the circus and Mommy promised her when we were living in Indy, that She would take Vicki. I was glad to have her along. We both got to enjoy the circus together for the first time.
The pictures do not display how much fun it was, but here are a few.

Of course you have to have the elephants

the tight rope walkers- that little boy is so small My Mom would be freaking out if that were me, I wonder what their mom's are thinking

I kept clapping, They were so good

Our family at the circus- I really enjoyed it,

but I just smiled and I wanted the camera

Posing with Vicki- My "cheese" face

The virgin Circus goers with the clowns

These guys had to be worn out at the end, they had multiple acts. Can you tell how good our seats were? If they fell, they would have been in our laps.
Can you guess where we ate Lunch?

This was my first time to Chuckie Cheese. It was busy, but so much fun. It kept me distracted as my nap was a little delayed.

Just practicing driving with Daddy.

It was such a fun day, but the best part was I got to spend the entire day with My Mommy and Daddy!

So Cute

I can't believe how big Jacob is getting. I am amazed each day about how much he is learning and the things he knows.
The other day, Jacob and Grandma Sherck were playing. Jacob got an art station for Christmas and absolutely loves it. They decided they would color and paint, etc. Well Grandma Sherck was giving ideas for Jacob to draw, and she said"Lets draw Caine (the family dog)." So Grandma Sherck starts drawing her picture of a dog on paper to look up and see Jacob drawing ON Caine, the dog. He was just following what he thought was her instructions. What is even cuter is when Grandma Sherck was telling the rest of us the story, Jacob got so excited he had to show us his Picture on the Dog. OH, Poor Caine. Needless to say it was pretty colorful on the white fur. How Cute!

Winter Wonderland

My Uncles are home!!! What do you get when you combine my Two Cool uncles and lots and lots of Snow?............................................................................................................
.................................................Lots of Fun in the outdoors, Sledding!

I have two really cool uncles that like to spoil me and show me what boys like to do. We just don't tell Mommy all of it.

We went sledding and when I went down with Brian I got a little on my face,

so I said HO, HO, HO
Here is my Cheesy smile.
It is a little cold out here, but not enought to make me stop having fun

Uncle Matt has shown me how to throw snowballs, I was trying to throw one at Mommy as she stood on the deck taking my picture. I missed her but I got her later, as well as Uncle Matt, Uncle Brian, Grandma, Grandpa, and Daddy. I will open up he sliding doors get a handful and throw it at anyone inside the house.

So my Christmas mistake

So feel I should tell you my Christmas mistake. I thought it would be a good idea to start the family tradition of letting Jacob open one present the night before and it being his Christmas PJ's for two reasons, to help get him excited for the next day and to allow him to sleep in New Christmas PJs. Then After the present opening, I thought we would them tell him about the greatest gift of all the birth of Jesus. Sounds like a good little tradition huh? Yeah it didn't go down like that.

So it went more like this. Jacob is excited he gets to open up a present. He says OOOOH, as he pulls out his PJs. Then...
He throws them aside and signs and says More, More, More. Getting angrier because he isn't getting his way. He then proceeds to the Christmas Tree and starts grabbing gifts and bringing them over. We say no and put them back- they weren't for him anyway. We then try to calm him down as we read the Christmas story (well actually we had a book with a CD that read it and played music). This was to the tune of Jacob Kicking and screaming. Yeah Not the best Idea I have every had. But Well, It is a memory.

Colts game

So Saturday night we gathered with some friends to watch the Colts game. We were very disappointed to see the colts lose. But it is always good times gathering with friendsHere is Eden and Jacob in their colts gear

Jacob says Cheese each time he sees the camera and this is his silly cheese face. It is almost better if he doesn't smile

Using my Christmas gift

So From Uncle Brian and Carrie I got a build-a-bear Gift card for Christmas, with instructions that they would take me to build my very own bear. So Saturday they decided it was time for me to fulfill my gift. I had so much fun making my bear. Mommy and Daddy came along too. They had some shopping to do and thought they would photograph the event.
Mommy thought I might be a little small for this event, but I proved her wrong. I showed her I knew what I was doing. I picked out my own bear. Mommy and Daddy thought it was kinda ugly and kept trying to get me to pick out something different or softer, but I just kept throwing theirs back and wanted to keep the one I picked out myself. Finally Mommy found a softer bear and I decided that was a little better.

Then I picked out my heart. I made sure I kissed it. So the bear knows I love him.Then I pushed the peddle so that I would fill the bear with stuffing. I really like the guy that was helping me. I thought he was pretty cool. I filed the bear completely by myself and even knew when I needed to stop.
I then put my heart inside the bear and he was all done, so I thought I would go give him a bath and brush his hair.

Here Carrie is helping me brush his teeth

I then picked out my bear's outfit and posed for a picture with my Uncle Brian and Carrie since they gave me such a cool gift.

Then Finally I needed to give my Bear a birth certificate and a name. When they mentioned Bear I said Boz, so that is what we called him. I know he isn't green, but Boz the bear is pretty cool, so I thought I would name him after him.

So what is a 22 month old suppose to do when he is in the mall........

enjoy all the cool toys. I rode the little cars

and then the carousel in the mall food court. I had so much fun, notice my cheesy smile.

I promise it is a smile, not a scared face.

I even took the football from my bear and played in the mall as we waited for Grandma and Grandpa to meet up with us. I was so cute and had many comments as I positioned my team (Brian, Carrie, Mommy and Daddy) in their spots and threw them the ball.

It was such a great Day. Thanks Brian and Carrie
