Jacob Updates and Fun Picts

Sooo.... I think the pen won. Jacob has been getting more and more interested in "coloring." We just always have to watch and make sure he ONLY colors on paper. He especially loves drawing airplanes with big scribble circles when then fly- "jjjzzzooom jjjzooom!"

Jacob's most recent favorite food is Ramen Noodles-- it's so nice and easy! I can give him a whole pack and he will scarf it!

It's a hat! (aka orange peel!)

What a handsome boy! Jake has quite the fashion sense-- just so you know, in this next video of him dancing, the outfit was his idea, not mine! He even asked me to loop the beads around his ears!

Best Friends!!

This was SO CUTE!! Jacob LOVES to help Daddy--they are putting together his new toy-bin shelf and Jakie was actually putting the screws in the holes for Daddy! I love it!!

Aren't baby giggles just contagious!

Love you guys! Hope you enjoy these updates on our lives!!

Funny Story

I tried to get pictures without success, but I have to share this story if only for posterity! Last night Jacob and Jason were attacking me with zrberts and Jason suggested to Jacob that he give himself a zrbert-- on his belly! Jason and I laughed until it hurt watching Jacob try to do this. Getting lips to belly is pretty tough for an adult, but for a toddler it's even more impossible. He pulled up his little shirt, tucked it under his chin, and proceeded to try and lift his little round belly to his face. It was so hysterical! His belly turned into a series of little fat rolls before he finally gave up and went back to giving me zrberts on my arm. I tried to get out the camera and have him do it again, but it didn't work. Oh well. Next time you see Jacob, or any other toddler, get the camera ready and ask them to give themselves a zrbert on the belly-- be prepared for some laughs!

Maui Wowie

Hey everyone. We had a WonderFUL time in Maui this last week. I got the pictures in the wrong order here but below are a few of the best.





Here is from the last day on the North Shore. The waves are HUGE!

On the road to Hana, Sue and Kimbre got out for a quick walk in the jungle.

This is just one of many turtles we saw everytime we went out snorkeling. What a thrill to see these beautiful animals - How graceful, how utterly exciting to see!

On the boat to Mollukini, it was a very blustery day, much too rough for snorkeling so we took an extended tour of the shore and dove in sheltered bays. At the end the sparrow just know there are leftovers to be had.

Here is a spotted puffer fish.

An a varigated spiny urchin. These came out pretty good.

Below is a SilverSword that grows only on the top of the volcano in Maui.

Everything's OK with Kimbre...

Here we all are for a night out in Lahaina of authentic Hawaiian cuisine.

On top of the world!! What a site!

Ava...

The weather here is finally starting to look better - so Ava wanted to get outside nd ride her bike. We've been working on it and now she can pedal and steer pretty well. But just in case...

I am going to be BUSY!!!!!!!

SO... I just made the best bargain sale ever! We have 2 JoAnn's fabrics stores that are closing and moving into one HUGE store - so today... all of their fabric left over was 95% off!!! So I went a little nuts. However... I spent a total of $25.99 and I SAVED $428.03!!! YOWZAA!
