Happy 3rd Birthday Jacob

Jacob's birthday was last Wednesday and we had a party at home on Thursday. I just haven't had time to post the pictures. We had a bouncy house in the backyard, played games and ate cupcakes. He had a great time celebrating with his friends.

Here's his new bike

Giant oversized bowling pins!

He's trying to blow out the candle but he keeps blowing the air up.

He had some candles that spelled Jacob but we couldn't get them to light.

This picture's for Grandma who wanted a picture of Jason minus his swallowed tooth. He's lost a total of 5 now (previously he lost his top two and bottom two). The one he recently lost was on the bottom. It's kind of hard to tell.

Unfortunately Justin didn't have a very exciting birthday. While he took Katie to her gymnastics class, I took Jason to baseball practice and slipped out and bought a cake. The kids made some homemade cards. Sorry honey, next year I'll do better when you turn 35!

Jason loses a tooth

Jason lost another tooth, in more ways than one. Monday night he was practicing cartwheels and handstands in the living room with Katie and Jacob (Katie had just had her gymnastics class). He bumped his mouth on something or someone, I can't remember which. And his already loose tooth was a whole lot looser (is that even a word?). We tried to get him to pull it out but it was hurting too much. I told him not to worry and that it would probably come out the next day.

The next morning he got ready for school, had breakfast and just before heading out, suddenly realized his tooth wasn't there.

We can only assume he swallowed it either at breakfast or in his sleep. (I vote for the latter, he grinds his teeth at night.) So, last night he left a note for the tooth fairy about what happened and why he didn't have a tooth for her. She still visited him even without a tooth to exchange.

Thanks tooth fairy, for being so understanding.

Monday Morning

This is what greeted us Monday morning so I snapped a few pictures in my backyard. We were all a little surprised to get so much snow in March. Most of it melted by midday but it has been in the 30's ever since. I still have snow in some shady places in my yard. We are taking a trip to California at the end of the month and it can't come soon enough. We are ready for some warmth and sunshine! (I intended to post these pictures on Monday but haven't been able to get my computer to access the internet until today.)

9 Months Old

Today my baby is 9 months old. Time has flown by. I took some pictures of her today to mark the milestone. She is crawling and can sit herself up. She loves her big sister who she shares a room with. Kami usually wakes Katie up in the morning with her baby talk. Then Katie gets her out of her crib and puts her in bed with her. Kami is totally content hanging out with Katie. I can't wait to see what good friends they will be when they get older.
