Joel went to track practice with Daddy.  It looks like he likes to hurdle!

I'm cheating here - I forgot to take a picture on Saturday!  So, I'm posting 2 from Sunday.  Jake still likes to play dress-up in mommy's clothes.

Check out that big belly!!!

It was a preschool day, which means tired kids at night.

Grandpa brought over the best "fort" ever!  For all of the toys they have, the big old boxes are always the favorite!

Daddy took Joel to get his haircut today.  My only request was not to cut the curls, but clearly they are all gone. :(  I don't have a baby anymore!  He's a little boy!

This is what the kitchen looks like the day after the stomach flu hits the house!

I'm not so excited to have had this picture taken so early in the morning, but it was kind of a special minute when both boys wanted to be on my lap and cuddle.  So we decided that each boy got one leg and the baby got the belly.

We brought our new Keurig - I think the family thought it was a great addition to a family get-away!

Jake had fun seeing all of the horses and riding the ones in the hotel!  We were in Shipshewana - Amishtown.

Making cookies for our weekend away!

Fun at the Children's Museum!

Jake got to celebrate his half birthday today at school.  Too bad he didn't want his picture taken and was screaming, "NOOOOOO!!!!!" at the top of his lungs when I tried to take a picture of him in his birthday crown.

A lot of candles on that cake!  Oh that's right, we were celebrating both Michelle and Curtis's birthdays!

I really like having the toys organized:  one bin for trucks, one for blocks, one for Joel's toys, one shelf for books.  I think if I actually want this all picked up in less than 2 hours, I have to just start shoving it in.

This was about 10 seconds before Jake crashed the sled, Joel got a white-wash, and we were done playing outside.  It was fun while it lasted!

I had too many photo options to choose from today, but I had to share the gorgeous view in my backyard.  I truly believe THIS is what it means to be "Walking in a Winter Wonderland."  What beauty and peace!

So maybe you should glance back at my Wednesday photo.  And this is Thursday!  Welcome crazy Michigan weather!

Yes, today is JANUARY 11 and we ate popsicles on the front porch this afternoon!

This was a cute picture of Joel pretending to run on the treadmill.  However the file was corrupted and I couldn't get it to download.  At least we have his cute smile!

The Morning (All Day) Sickness seemed to be subsiding tonight so I thought it was time to get back on the treadmill.  Let's be honest though - I decided walking 1 slow mile was good enough!

Joel loves playing on his new pirate ship he got for Christmas.  He always plays with his tongue out!

Spaghetti for breakfast, lunch, or dinner - it doesn't matter, I LOVE it!

Jake has been asking for apples as a snack lately - it might be the only healthy thing he will eat!  I'll take it!
