Brothers

For some reason, Eli was sitting on the stairs eating a treat, and Jake saw and decided he had to be just like him.

Jake's Animals

Jake has a few stuffed animals: Penguin, Owl, Fish, Turtle, Santa Toy and Snowy Toy that he carts around the house all day with him. They are his buddies, and they do everything with him.

Fun World

Logan told me during Christmas Break that if we went to the playground at Odyssey Fun World than he would be totally happy with the break...well how can I resist making my kid totally happy?! So we went, and we really did have fun. Jake was a little (a lot) unsure about the higher-up parts, and for a few days after would say, "Thank you for taking me to the scary playground that made me cry!"

Children's Museum

One of the days during Christmas break I convinced the older kids we should go to the "fun" children's museum that is about an hour from us. They all had a pretty good time. Cute kids.

Goodbye Nursery, Hello Primary!

Jake has enjoyed his nice long stint in nursery, and loved every one of his teachers and buddies. Here he is on his last day of nursery.

But now he's ready for Primary! Here's the first day!

Some of the novelty has already worn off and he asks to go to nursery again instead of primary, but he'll get used to it. His new teachers are already getting a kick out of him; one texted me during church to tell me he'd just told her he liked her eyeballs! Our baby is getting so big!

Ali's Painting

Alison worked for hours and hours on this paint-by-number piece and it turned out so well we had to frame it!

Train Adventure

Jake has been wanting to go on an "adventure on a train" for quite awhile, so the other day when Jason was off of work we made it happen. Jason and Jake took the train from the stop near our house to the stop by the children's museum (about a 10 minute ride!) where Grandma Eldredge (who was visiting) and I were waiting. He loved it! He kept saying, "Choo Choo!" So fun to make their dreams come true!
