Look What I can do all by Myself!!

So last night we were all in the basement and I was getting Jude's bath ready. Jude usually assists by throwing in all of his bath toys. His assistance went one step further by getting into the tub by himself (and fully clothed). Boy, did we have a laugh over that and Jude knew that it was funny - he kept smiling and laughing. Getting wet clothes off a squirmy boy is a challenge. I never realized how much liquid a diaper can actually hold (when they say 18-24 pounds, they really mean it:)

My Boys

Happy Mom on her birthday. What more can I ask for?

A fun Weekend

So, I turned 33 yesterday and we celebrated this past weekend with a little lunch - thanks everyone for making my day so special! The kids had fun playing -it's been a while since we've gotten together as a family - it felt good!

Jackson and Jeremy made me a little video where all of Jackson's vehicles come onto the screen and then spell out "Happy Birthday Mom" - it was soooooooooo cute. Here's a still shot of it - my favorite part is that the "Y" didn't fit, so it had to go down below. I am sooo lucky to have such a wonderful family.

Advanced vs. Beginner

Jackson wanted to color last evening, so I thought it'd be great to get Jude in on the action too. So I set them both up with a coloring sheet and some crayons. Jackson went about his business and colored this wonderful pumpkin picture, while Jude decided that he'd just eat the crayons! They were some sort of wierd crayon that melted when they got wet - and boy did they get wet. Go figure. I guess they weren't Crayola..........Never a dull moment! I love my boys.

Updates

Well, thanks to Aunt Dana and Uncle Nate, kitty (aka: Sophie) has a wonderful home. AND we found out that he is a "she" - woooops - missed that one!

Jude is climbing on everything - he can get onto any surface he want which has been a real challenge for us - we've got hawk-like eyes!

Jackson is adjusting to school. He's bringing home his school work everyday and man, do they do a lot. He seems to really like being at school - separating from us in the morning has been a little challenging, but it'll all come together! It's great to have him in Loretto with me everyday - when I can, I walk up to get him at the end of the day and we walk back to campus!

Found: One Cute Kitten

Wednesday evening on our way home from soccer practice, we found this preciuos little kitten on our lane. We haven't found his owner, but we may have found a good home for him. Jackson has definitely taken a liking to him, but since we already have a cat, we think someone else should take "Tiger."

You Know it's a Rainy Day When........

You've got curls!
