I gave Max a bucket of dry beans to play with. He loved filling his dump truck with them. He also liked using his tractor to dig in them. After awhile of playing with his trucks and tractors in the beans, he decided he wanted to bring his "car wash" up on the table too.


Jack's first time sitting in tub. He sure loved splashing in the water.



I love how he's laying with his foot up here.
This morning, Jack woke up early crying so I brought him to cuddle in our bed. He fell back asleep and I enjoyed cuddling him. When Max woke up, he must have went right to his closet and got out the bowling ball and pins. He was playing a game of bowling by himself when I walked into his room. When Hailey woke up, we brought it out to the hallway and we all played a game. Everytime Max would knock some pins down, he would clap for himself and yell "Yeah! Good job for me!" I gave Max a bucket of dry beans to play in. He first enjoyed scooping and and pretending to cook with some measuring cups and spoons. Then he wanted his dump truck and tractor to play with. He loved digging in the beans with his tractor and then loading them into the dump truck. He'd drive the dump truck around the table with the beans and then drive it back to the bucket to dump them into a pile. He sure had fun and it kept him entertained for a long time. Hailey was in her bedroom playing with her dolls. When she came out and saw the beans she wanted to play with them too. I got her a bucket of beans and some measuring cups and spoons. She also enjoyed pretending to cook. Max wanted to play with it again after he took his nap. After awhile of playing with his dump truck in it, he decided he wanted to play with his "car wash" (car garage that has a car wash too) too. I didn't know he meant on the table. He went and got it and brought it up on the table to play with. He liked driving the dump truck up and down the ramp with the beans. Then he'd dump the beans down the ramp and watch them all slide down. When Bruce got home from work, I made dinner while he played with the kids. I got out my cookbook "Deceptively Delicious" that shows you how to sneak in vegetables. First I made an avocado spread to dip our chips in. Max like this but Hailey didn't. Then I made tortilla "cigars" with chicken and cheese and then sneaking in squash and carrot purees. They were very good and we all liked them, even Hailey. Tonight I gave Jack a bath in his new duck tub (Thanks Kimmy). It was his first time sitting up in the tub. He loved it and had alot of fun splashing in the water.

Superbowl Sunday

Ready for church. In the first picture, Hailey is looking at her reflection in the glass on the entertainment center. Then she looked up and posed for the camera.

Jacob making Jack smile and laugh.

Jacob went and got a bunch of toys for Jack to play with.
Jacob too Jack's sock off to see his foot. He told me that Jack has little feet.
Then he put Jack's sock back on.

Adam just watching Jack. Jacob and Adam sure do love their baby cousin. They are so sweet with him.




The kids love to ride these cars down in the basement.
I love these pictures of Hailey and Jacob posing for the camera.


Hailey and Kenzie doing exercises on the Wii. They are pretty good at it too. It sure was fun to watch them.

Hailey and Jacob watching Kenzie do Yoga poses. They tried a few poses too after seeing her do it.

All in pj's ready for bed.
Kenzie reading their bedtime story.

Jack fell asleep and went and layed down next to him.

After church, my parents had us all over for the Superbowl. As soon as I walked in with the car seat, Jacob came running over to see Jack. It was cute watching him make faces trying to get him to smile. He was so sweet with him. He got a bunch of baby toys and brought them over to him. Then he covered him with a blanket. We had fun playing the Wii while the guys were watching the game. The kids even had fun playing it. We had a good time making our Wii characters. Our whole family each has their own player that looks like them. You can totally tell who each one is just by looking at them. We had lots of fun bowling. Hailey was pretty good at it. We also tried some of the exercises. It was funny to watch Jacob and Hailey trying to do the Yoga with Kenzie. The guys would tell us whenever a funny commercial was on and would rewind it for us so we could come watch it. We all had such a great time. We took the kids downstairs to play in the basement. They had fun riding the cars around. Max got a doll and said "Jacob, can I be your daddy?" Jacob shook his head no. Then Max said "But yes I can. I can be your daddy." Jacob said "I want to be a daddy too." So they were both daddies. I love listening to them talk to each other and carry on a conversation.
