Do you think I could sell this to Apple?

They would probably prefer the sassy/emo look...

Happy 2nd Birthday JADON!

Daddy and the Birthday Boy!

Mommy and the only boy that was slow enough to get a picture with... ahem

Boys, boys, boys Daddy decorated the house while Jadon slept. Jadon was very specific about what kind of cake he wanted... giraffe. Jadon has develped a very stong love for cake, so we have been telling him for months he would have to wait for his birthday. He did burst into tears when we took it away to cut it though... I guess we could have thought that one through! Jadon requested Bisby come to his party

Dressing like daddy

Jadon loves to dress like daddy and run fast!

Jadon and Ben helping outside

Pushing the wheelbarow

Spading the dirt Making threatning jestures... just kidding. Thirsty?

And who could ever get any work done without this chuncky smile to keep you going?

C'mon, you can't do funny streches like this and not think people will take pictures! Your shoes are glowing honey, that's cool.

The Park

Cute Ben Ben

Why is it you have to use more than one syllable when talking to a baby? I just can't call him Ben, I have to get some more syllables in there... the result, Ben Ben. You know, it can't just be a blanket it has to be a blankey etc. Maybe this would make a good thesis for someone... hmmm

Streching with Daddy

You know, after boys run fast they have to do their streching!

Jadon "helping" Ben

Trying to help him with his paci.

Trying to give him a book. Ahh... that's better.

He really does love him!!!

It's been a while!

Sorry I haven't posted recently!  It has been a combination of time and sickness.  Jadon, the poor baby, got sick for the first time, besides colds.  He got the flu.  Fever for 3 days... really feeling terrible.  Ben and I spent a couple days at my dad's since Ben was only 5 weeks old... very dangerous for a infant to get the flu.  Amazingly, graciously Jadon was the only one who got sick... is that not miraculous or what?  And Jadon was the only one with a flu shot.  Thankfully that is over and he is back to his old self!  

And then time... 2 little ones take up... Time!!  They are both wonderful and sweet!  Ben is nearly sleeping through the night about 7 hour stretch, repeat with me Hallelujah!  He has actually always been a good sleeper, but he is even better now.  He will be 2 months old Monday. I am just trying to work on him being ready for bed at 9pm instead of 10pm or + sometimes.  Any ideas??  

Jadon is saying more and more and the words he does say are getting clearer and clearer.  And he is just a great little buddy.  He will be 2 next month.  Sometimes we feel like he is 2, but he is not too contrary and pretty reasonable... maybe you shouldn't say things like that!  

One last note,  I am so glad Spring is coming!!  I thought I loved Fall the best, now I think I love Spring... being outside, not too cold, not sick season!  We are doing our backyard right now.  Putting in a garden, landscaping etc.  I'll try to take some pictures!  I am loving gardening.  It's nice something we can all do together, well Ben either sleeps or watches... moral support!
