Happenings

Life has been pretty crazy at our house the last few months. These two (three) boys are keeping me on my toes!! Summer seems to have went by way too fast, and I can't believe it's October already.

Jake is our constant entertainment-we are always laughing at the funny things he says and does, and he is growing up so fast! He is so sweet and reminds us several times a day that he loves us - he has great timing too, like when he's getting yelled at for doing something naughty! How can you get mad at that??

This would be one of those times....How do I dress Mason, when Jake already has on his clothes?

Mason is getting so big! I can't believe how fast he grows! I just want to freeze him right now because I love this stage, he's so sweet....and he can't move yet! :) He squeels and laughs, and loves to talk to all his toys. He's definitely a mama's boy too....Shane and him don't exactly get along when I'm at work. It's good for them, right? Good for Mason's lungs, and good for dad's patience!

Mason recently got his first haircut. He went from this old man's hairdo:
To this cute little bald baby!! I wasn't really thrilled at first, a few tears were shed! But it growing on me, he's adorable with or without hair!

Love these crazy little boys!!!

Mason Hunter Jones

Introducing the newest member of our family!! This cute little guy was born on May 27, 2009 at 7:14 a.m. He weighed 8 lbs 1 oz, and was 21 inches. He has tons of dark hair, and is so sweet! We love our little guy!!

Mason sleeps A LOT, and eats even more! He hardly ever cries, he mostly just grunts and moans when he's hungry. Love those little baby sounds!!

Jake has been so sweet to Mason. We were a little worried how he was going to react, but he's been so good. He gets a little hyper sometimes and has to show off a little but that's it. It's so cute to see him kiss Mason and want to hold him all the time.

This delivery was SO much easier than Jake's. I was really worried about the c-section, but it was so fast...like 30 min and I was done, and I've felt really good. It's also been really nice having Shane home to help.

We are so excited to finally have this cute little guy here! He's been such a good baby, and we love him so much!

Look Who's Three!!

We started the day with Chocolate chip Mickey Mouse pancakes!

Then it just got better with two days of friends, family and presents. Jakey is one lucky boy!

Is it bad that my three year old drives a nicer car than me?

We even had Mickey Mouse cupcakes, or "puncakes" as Jake calls them.

I love this picture of Jake. Don't you wish birthdays were always this fun?

One tired little birthday boy. You know it's been a long day when you fall asleep eating a turkey sandwich!

Happy Birthday Jake, we love you very very much!

Baby Brother and "Broken" Beebees

So last week we got to have our ultrasound and we found out we're having another baby boy! Both families were sure it was going to be a girl, but I had a feeling it was a boy. It would have been fun to have a little girl in the family, but were happy with another boy too! Everything was healthy, so that's all that really counts. Jake was a little disappointed, he was sure he was getting a "baby sister" and he gets a little upset when we have to pick out "boy" things for the baby, he'd rather the "girl" things. Haha...can't say I blame him...the girl things are usually so much cuter! Jake was quite the comedian at the ultrasound, some of his comments were "look mom, it has horns!!" which got us all laughing pretty hard, and "that's not a baby, it's a fish. Look, it's swimmin!" I'm pretty sure the tech didn't know what she was in for when Jake walked in. So here are a few pics of our newest addition - a profile shot and some little baby feet. If any of you have any cute names, we're open for suggestions! If you know us, you know we have a hard time deciding (mostly agreeing is the problem!).

This week we also decided that it was time for Jake to give up his binkies, or "beebees" as he calls them. He has been so hard to get to sleep lately, that we decided just to get it all over with at once. We cut the ends off of them, and told him they were broken. He gave us the saddest little face you've ever seen when he saw them! It about broke both our hearts! But it was way overdue, and if any of you know Jake very well, you know that he totes those things EVERYWHERE! They were his best friends - so it was time. I wanted them to be completely gone before the baby came so we didn't have any "binkie swapping". So far he's done really well! We're very proud of him! (thank goodness for benadryl!)

Here are a few pics from Christmas. We had such a good holiday, I can't believe it's the middle of January already!

Here's Jake on his new bike...sorry out of all the faces he pulled, this was the best.

This is what Jake INSISTED on wearing Christmas morning! They're his new "tumbling" clothes for the lessons he got!

Probably his favorite Christmas present...poor maui.
