Letter from Grandpa

Jacob LOVES opening mail. So it was a special treat to receive a letter in the mail from Grandpa today. Thanks for thinking of me Grandpa!

Marathon Monday

A few of our friends were in town from San Diego this weekend. Todd even ran the Boston Marathon today and made great time. We all went down to cheer him on at the finish line!

Here's Jake and Jack in deep discussion about...crayons.

Our little Jake was one tired boy after a day full of fun and excitement!

Some Spring Pictures

With all this nice weather we've been having, we've been spending a lot of time outside.

Jacob's favorite outdoor activity this week was digging with his shovel. When the shovel wasn't good enough, he would use his hands! Needless to say, we had many baths this week...

The weather got SO warm that we got out the shorts, short sleeves and sandals. We're hoping this nice weather sticks around.

The outside of our house is being painted so we don't have the screens in. Even though the window is only open a crack, Jacob took this opportunity to toss some of his toys out the window onto the driveway. I should have known when he was spending a lot of time over at the window!

BUSTED!

Jacob is 16 months old

We've got a little outdoors man on our hands. We've been getting outside as much as possible with all this nice weather. The problem is, we can't get Jacob back inside!

When we were at this playground last summer Jacob would stand up and hold on to these bars, his head barely reaching the very bottom of the bars. My guess is next summer he'll be climbing up the side to the top!

Jacob behind bars!

Jacob's new 4 wheeler

I snuck away to Jacksonville to visit my parents, when I came back Jason had bought Jacob a motorized 4-wheeler. Here's Jacob in action!

Easter 2008

This isn't the best family picture since we all look half asleep (or in Jake's case, licking the rest of the ice cream off his fingers), but it's the only one from Easter! We had a nice Easter this year with the Taylor Family.

Jake had so much fun hunting for Easter eggs, playing with his new toys and following his second cousin Mikela around!
