Our Vacation

We were on our way out the door for church and I had to get a picture with my "Big J".
Jacob went fishing for the first time on vacation and caught 2 fish. This is one of them. He didn't want to touch it though.
And here is is with his great grandpa reading the paper. He said "mommy you have to be quiet we are reading the newspaper".

Oh and on the plane on the way home he said "Mommy I want to get out on the wing" I said Jacob do you see anyone else out there? You will never make it buddy.

And this morning after eating his cereal he proceeding to put his bowl in the sink as usual but went the extra step by getting the wash rag and wiping up the milk he spilt on the counter and put the wash cloth back in the sink. He is growing up too fast! Vacation was good but it's always nice to be back home.

Our Vacation

Here I am holding my handsome little man walking out the door for church.
And this is in the airport in Boston. A kids play area. I don't think he was supposed to stand on this, but you know Jaron he will climb on anything possible. He jumped off several times too!
This was also in the play are for kids in the airport. Here they are taking flying lessons. Or should I say jumping out of planes lessons. Jaron couldn't sit still.

Another Cool Dude!

And of course since Jaron got a picture with my glasses Jacob wanted one too. They are both so funny and they know what it takes to make mommy smile. Jacob went to the dentist Tuesday and they said it might be a while before his top tooth comes in but he should be losing the bottom front teeth soon. No cavities!!! Oh and he has also been complaining of leg pain at night so I explained to him it is growing pains and he is so excited he is growing. He tells everyone about it.

Cool Dude!

Jaron can't resist Mommy's sunglassed. These are the latest ones and he looks hilarious in them!!!
And here are the boys all dressed up for church. Obviously not feeling good. They never sit still like this anymore. Jaron has an ear infection and congested and Jacob is coughing and congested too.

July 4th (too loud)

And here they are...they dangerous duo. They are so sweet when they are sleeping. This was at granna's house on July 4th. Jacob said "look mommy we are twins" as he laid down beside him. It took him about 3 seconds to fall asleep after a late night of fireworks and lots of excitement. He was loving it! But when I kissed him goodnight he said "Mommy, I don't like fireworks." What!?!?!? I thought you loved them. He said "No they are too loud". Oh well better luck next year. He has been using some big words lately like calculations and actually and lots of others. He has started asking me why and what about everything. It's official he is at the "WHY" stage. It's driving me crazy but I am trying to be patient and explain everything. Like why are the yellow lines on the road? and What is a knee? And what does lie mean? He loves to walk around the house with a pen and paper writing notes and bossing Jaron around. And if he could have it his way, he would ride his scooter from sun up to sun down. Rain or Sunshine. He has fallen in love with the girls in the previous pictures and wakes up asking to go see them. So all I can say is Watch World cause here he comes!

Swimming July 4th

We went to Jaron's Granna's house for July 4th and this is what the boys did all day. Jaron loves the water, no matter how ice cold it is. This is right when he stepped in, notice he is sucking in because it took his breath. But he still played in it for an hour or more.

He didn't get a nap today so he went to bed at 7pm before it was even dark so maybe next year he can see some fire works. He sure did have fun though once we hooked up this slide into the pool.

Right now he is sick though. He hasn't been sleeping good at night, waking up 2 or 3 times a night and messing with his ears alot. Also he is chewing on the coffee table a lot and the window seals. He is trying to cut his pointy teeth on the bottom and some on top too I think. It's hard to get a look in his mouth anymore. He won't sit still long enough. So I took him to the doctor today and they said yes his ears are infected and he is on amoxicillin for 10 days. Also they gave me so samples of decongestant/antihistamine for the green sinus and nasal drainage he is having. I hope he feels better soon cause this lack of sleep is about to kill me!

On a more positive note he is smarter than I realized. He was pointing out all the shapes at the doctor today. I draw shapes for him all the time but when weren't even talking about them and he just started saying "oval, square, circle." I almost fell out of my chair. THat's my boy. And we have taught him to say "I two" but if you ask him how old he is he'll say "five" and hold up 5 fingers with a big grin. He can also count to five on his fingers and he knows all the colors. He might not be able to talk very good but he can still learn.

What a BIG BOY!

Here are a few more pictures of our little vacation the other week. He was a little hesitant at first but since the girls were doing it he had to try.

And it didn't take long and my little boy was doing back flips!

Then they raised him really high and he couldn't even jump they were just pulling him down and flinging him to to the sky! He LOVED IT!

And of course he had to try on the blue's clues ears.

And our little train conductors.

Two Years Old

Jaron got a new Georgia Bulldogs outfit for his birthday!

This is what he looked like when we asked him how old are you? Kinda shocked, ya think!?

We had our friends over and this is what Jacob called a "pool party"!

Instead of a birthday hat for Jaron we got blue's clues ears! He loves that show!

And they are with their Thomas hats on just after a bath.

Jacob's and his friends

Mini Vacation

Smiley & Sleepy

Just Chilling Out!

Boys & Trains

The boys slept together when we were out of town last weekend and we had to capture the moment. Also we went to visit some friends in atlanta and ate pizza near the train tracks. Here is Jaron just after experiencing the NOISE of a real train! Shock and Awe!

Trains...

I know I already put this picture of them sleeping on Jaron's blog...but I couldn't resist, it is so adorable. And here is Jacob just after seeing and hearing a real train. It was very loud and he didn't seem to mind. Oh and this was his first tootsie pop!!!

Supermen!

Both of them are wearing their superman pj's with the capes on the back! Jaron looks like he is trying to fly.


Sharing the blanket and drinking their water together. Sometimes they are friends and like to play together-SOMETIMES!

SUPERMAN

New PJ's with little cape velcro on the back!!!

This is what happens when you spend all day at the Kia dealership and miss naptime...

Jacob was on Noggin.com and Jaron will not let anyone sit at the computer unless he can sit there too so we captured the moment.

Splashing & Mowing

Well Jacob did not want shorts or underwear but I assured him that the neighbors didn't now want to see him naked so he had to atleast keep his underwear on. He is not as easy going about water like Jaron but he was getting used to it. It was cold and going down the slide was risky cause if youd didn't stand up quick you were going to be sitting down in the cold water. One time he did. But didn't cry, he toughed it out and went back for more.

Jaron would not even go down the slide suprisingly. Jacob was trying to talk him into it but Jaron was smart enough to know he was going to fall it the water and he wasn't ready for that.


Here they are in the front yard playing with their bubble mowers. Jacob ran all over the place with his never stopping. I think he was trying to see if the bubbles would run out. They never did. Wouldn't you know that the thing doesn't work right on hills and our whole yard is a big hill. So they have to drive them on this flat part of our driveway. No biggie! And I have to post this since I forgot to the other week. Chris had to go have a procedure done and I had to be there to drive him home afterwards. Well we went into recovery and he was coming out of the anesthesia and very groggy but dressed in his normal clothes with a blood pressure cuff on his arm. Jacob seemed concerned asking what was wrong with daddy. I told him they gave him some sleepy medicine and he was just tired. But Jacob looked at me and was WHITE as a ghost. Even his lips were white. He passed out!!! I was holding Jaron and had to grab Jacob before he fell down. I managed to get him up on the bed with Chris and he was OUT! I couldn't believe it. He eyes were closed and he felt like he was sweaty. After a minute he woke up and said "Mommy but I'm ok I just need some water". The nurse said it is common in kids his age. He is more aware of what is happening. On the way home he saying "Mommy daddy's ok". And I was telling him daddy is just sleepy and trying to make light of it. That was on May 3rd and he stil talks about it every day. Must have been traumatic for him.

Splashing in the Pool

Well I let them play in the little pool last week but it just wasn't warm enough. I just filled it up so the water was kinda cold but they didn't seem to care. Even though it was 80 degrees here the trees give a lot of shade so there is only a 2 hour window when they can go in the water. I don't want them in it when the sun is behind the trees.



My boys love the water. They would have played all day if I let them. They only way I could bribe them to get out was to get in the bath...MORE WATER! Jaron is cutting about 4 teeth at once right now so nights are rough and sleep is rare. He has a new bad habit of waking up at 6AM every morning too! But that big smile when I walk in just grabs my heart and I can't resist. I have to get him out of the bed. He is hungry and ready to RUN & CLIMB! That is all he does most of the day. Maybe he will be a mountain climber when he grows up. Or in the olympics, who knows. But trust me he is GOOD!
