A Birthday Filled Weekend

Saturday was Payton and Mom/Jan/Nana's birthdays. We were sorry to miss spending the day with mom, but enjoyed celebrating Payton's big 1st birthday with the family.  All of the kids had a great time.  Payton LOVED her cake. She ate a ton of icing and a little bit of cake. The boys enjoyed their cupcakes and ice cream too.

Sunday we spent the day at home cleaning and playing. Jake helped mommy make asparagus. He loved snapping the ends off. He's a great little helper!

Our Little Musician

Jake had his last night of Kindermusik this evening. He spent most of his time in class doing whatever he pleased instead of following the instructor. I'm sure that doesn't surprise anyone. Enjoy the pictures below. We attempted to take a class picture, as you can see, it's not the best.

He likes it best when he doesn't have
to share the instruments with the others.

Getting his diploma

Go Colts!!

We had a very busy weekend. Nana and Bumpa came over to watch Jake for the weekend. Josh and I attended a wedding and Josh was the best man. It was nice to get out, but after the rehearsal dinner, wedding, and Colts game on Sunday, we are all exhausted. Jake had a great time with Nana and Bumpa. They played hard and went to the Children's Museum on Sunday. I'm not sure who had more fun, Jake or Nana and Bumpa.

The boys getting ready to go to the game. Our friends Matt, Stef, and their 12 week old baby, Kennadie, came over. We all got our baby fix while the boys went to the game.

Jake made his own face paint....out of pudding.

A Lazy Weekend

We had a pretty lazy weekend. It was very nice. Friday, Jake had a few friends over and Saturday we helped Grammie and Poppy move stuff into their new house. Jake and Brodie pretty much ran around and Payton watched. Today we just spent the day at home.  Josh made a fort for Jake and then had a dance party in the kitchen after dinner. We did buy him a new potty and Wrigs spent most of the evening in the box. We realized Wrigley isn't the smartest cat on the block. He didn't really catch on that putting himself in a confined spot would make it even easier for Jake to torment him. I finally moved the box onto the dryer.

Playin'

"Look, guys, it's a duck! Can you say duck?"

Ahhh, the best seat in the house. Uncle T, do you like my blanket?

Jake had his 18 month appointment this week. We had to fill out a questionnaire about what all he can do.  The doctor said besides a little bit of snot, he's doing great. Jake scored off the charts for gross and fine motor skills. This didn't surprise us at all and his communication was well above normal as well. He is in the 50% for weight, 75% for height, and 90% for his head size. Who's the fat head in the family? Keep your comments to yourself. :0)

Picasso

Daddy traced me tonight on paper and then I decorated myself. I even got to put stickers on Wrigley.

When you have a 1 1/2 year old you have to get creative sometimes. I think there was more crayon on the fridge than the paper itself.
