Playing with Grandma

I love playing with my grandma. For some reason I decided to climb in the dogs cage and guess what Grandma followed me in. We were acting silly.

Funny note: These PJ's I got for Christmas and they are my favorite, however after being washed they are a little small, but I find them anyways and want to wear them even if my belly hangs out. Mommy and Daddy try to hide them, but I can't let that, They are my Handy Manny PJ's.

Birthday fun

Jacob Turned 2. Saturday, his actual birthday we just let him open a few presents and tried to make the day special, but on Sunday we had a big Doodlebops party.
He was so in awe to find the house decorated with doodlebops when he woke up from his nap. It was so fun to see the expression on his face. We mainly just had our family, but invited a few of his little buddies over for the fun.

His doodlebops cake- It didn't turn out how I envisioned it and I was kinda disappointed, but it tasted yummy and Jacob didn't seem to mind

opening gifts- He enjoyed all his gifts,

and it makes play time even more enjoyable with all his new toys

We were also grateful for new character PJ's, He got some Handy Manny one's for Christmas and they shrunk a little, yet he wants to wear them all the time

Cole was about the only one who would were the nice doodlebops hats,

Noone really knew what the doodlebops were except Jacob and our Family

Bo, drinking his juice box from his crazy straw, while being entertained by the doodlebops for the first time. ( I didn't plan on us watching the doodlebops during the party- but we were entertaining the kids till Uncle Chris and Aunt Rachel could arrive so Jacob could open up his gifts)

This is Jacob's gift from Mommy- and he loves it!! He opened this up on his actual birthday

WE are ready for T ball

His Uncle Matt and Uncle Brian Spoiled him with this new toy. He loves to drive it

Here is a little video of our party. The funny thing is I had taken the advice from a Mommy's website on a 2yr old/Preschool party ideas. They said to put on music (we played a Doodlebops music video- even though you can't hear it) and give the kids streamers on sticks to Dance. I have to say Jacob thought it was cool, the others well- It wasn't so much a hit. It could be they just had no clue what do do with the doodlebops. this was the first time they viewed these Crazy threesome dressed up in Orange, Blue, and Pink.

It was fun anyway! I can't believe Jacob is two. Boy, It is so much fun being his Mommy!

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.

Skeeball ws our favorite

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.

a quick picture with Uncle Matt before sledding down the hill

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
