Let it snow, man!!!

After a good snow, the kids went out to play and build a snowman. Even Charlie came out to play. It was still pretty cold out, so we didn't out too long.

Jake is potty trained!

This last summer, I tried to potty train Jake. With his lost of hearing, it was impossible. So I tried it after his 3rd b-day and it went so much better. It took about 4 days of just telling him were to go and to tell me when he needed to go. He started out naked, he's always naked. He would run into the bathroom, without telling me and go. By day 3, I had him wear pants and it didn't change anything. By day 4 he was peeing and pooping in the potty! Easiest child to potty train!!!!

Happy Birthday to my Jakie. We had his birthday party at Jess and Jim's. My brother, baby Will, Aunt Julie and Uncle buzz were all in town to celebrate! Papa,Grandma and Aunt Mary were there as well! We had a great dinner, then on to the presents and cake. Jake got a phone, dinosaurs and V-smile with games. It was great getting us all together!
To my Jake, who has become such a kind, loving, helpful boy! Happy 3rd birthday sweet boy!

Love mommy!

Merry Christmas!

Pumpkin Carving

We had our yearly pumpkin carving! David wanted his pumpkin to look just like his fake pumpkin that he has in his room that lights up. The other boys didn't really care, so Justin and I just carved out silly faces! Patrick, I think was more interested in trying to eat the pumpkin, while Jake thought it was cool to play with pumpkins inners!

This Halloween the boys dressed up like characters on the Mario Bros. David was Mario, Jake was Luigi and Patrick was Toad. David wanted me to join in the fun so I went as Princess Peach! We took the boys to David and Jake's school, were they had Trunk or Treat. We went trick or treating at the Olson's where they had a tunnel of Terror, which the older boys loved. I think Jake just liked getting candy everytime he went in and came out!

Let's Play-doh!

Play-doh fun! Like how Patrick is sitting on the kitchen table. Yeah, at just 13months he is climbing on everything!
