Today we celebrated Ronan's 5th birthday...and Jake decided he needed to try on all of Ronan's new bug collecting gear.

6-22-12


Cousins are in town!  Jake LOVES to play with them!

6-21-12


I had two Friday pictures I really wanted to share, so here's the first.  Jake has been in the Safety Town class at Coopersville.  It was graduation day!

6-20-12


Um...we may or may not have had Cold Stone for dinner.

6-19-12


Yay!  It's finally hung!  This was Jeremy's Father's Day present from last year, and this is the first time it has gone up.  Wahoo for school being done and jobs around the house finally getting done!

6-18-12


Jeremy had to get his car fixed and the boys had to wait 45 minutes for their ride to show up...needless to say, they weren't too happy for a Monday morning!

If only big brother knew you snuck into his room and starting using up all of his Cars stickers!  Yes, mommy will hide the evidence...

We had a babysitter tonight, and this is what I came home to!  (As you can imagine, the toy room did not start out the evening in this good of condition!)

6-14-12


Joel got this fun water toy for his birthday!  The boys love it!

6-13-12


Popsicles on the porch after naptime!  I love this summer tradition!

6-12-12


Brother lovin'!  Jake is teaching Joel how to use his "e-reader."

6-11-12


As I'm getting stuff ready for the baby, Joel decided that he should still be in the cradle.

6-10-12


It's birthday party day!  I'm proud to say I made and decorated this cake!  I know it does look homemade, but at least you can tell what it is.

6-9-12


Yes, still getting ready for the party tomorrow...and yes, this is a Pinterest idea.

6-8-12


Jake enjoyed helping make the frosting for Joel's birthday cake!

6-7-12


I am remembering the strange things you find around the house when you have a 2 year old!  This is a half-eaten cracker.

It's the birthday boy!  Here Joel is as a 2 year old!  (I also realize that a lot of our pictures are of Joel right now.  Jake avoids the camera at all costs lately.  I will catch him!)

6-5-12


Naughty boy throwing rice on the floor because he has decided he no longer likes it.

6-4-12


SO DISGUSTING!!  This is Jake's toothbrush!

6-3-12


Terrible picture, but Joel was having fun stealing Jake's bike helmet.

6-2-12


Jeremy was gone and I took Joel to get his haircut by myself...I asked for an inch or less and to still be able to see his curls.  I cried when I got in the car.

We went and played at Gymboree today.  Joel LOVED it!!!!  He's the perfect age for this place!

5-31-12


Joel hasn't been sleeping well.  He was still pretty tired after he woke up this morning.

5-30-12


Daddy just left to go to graduation.  He was all dressed up, so the boys thought they needed to dress up too.

5-29-12


These boots were made for walkin'.  And that's just what they'll do.

5-28-12


Jeremy took the boys to the Memorial Day parade.  Jake still hates the loud sirens!

5-27-12


Jake has been wearing his life jacket all the time.  He told me it protects him from the Sand People on Star Wars.

5-26-12


The floor is DONE!!!  And I love it!!!!!!

5-25-12


Lovin' the park!

5-24-12


Another warm day!  I filled up the kiddie pool for the kiddies, but they weren't interested at all.  My feet enjoyed it though!

5-23-12


I took this picture to show off my awesome pedicure...too bad it also shows my swollen feet.  I guess nothing looks good on me at this point!

5-22-12


FINALLY!  The floor work has begun!  Jake wasn't such a fan of the loud noises, making for an interesting dinner.

5-21-12


Joel's first icey-pop.  I'm pretty sure he loved it!

5-20-12


Family day at the Tigers game!  My shirt has an arrow that says Future Fan on it.  We went to a game where they actually won and Scherzer broke the strike-out record!

5-19-12


Jeremy likes Groupon deals a little too much.  Nice sunglasses - what a purchase!
