Jake's been busy

Jake is still suprising us everyday with what he comes up with!  Recently he's loved to just get up and grab his boots and hat and telling us good-bye!  So saterday i finnaly put his coat on too and just opened the door to see what in the world he wanted to do,  this is what he came up with!  Boy do our neighbors think we're crazy or what!  Looking good Jake!

Jake is also a hockey fanatic! He didn't go anywhere with out a hockey stick for a good month or so now i'm glad to say he has his own hockey net and him and Chris play almost everynight but he has also moved on to basketball aka b-ball in jake's terms and baseball.  he loves to carry around a mit backwards too!We convinced him to "sled" too he wasn't a big fan of the snow but as you can see if dad was working hard enough we got a smile out of him!We went up to visit my sister and her family in Grand Rapids and I had so much fun playing in the snow with them this picture is of them building a sheild to hide behind so i couldn't get them with snowballs!  I forgot how much a good snowball fight is with a 7 yr old and a 4 year old!  They were so much fun after everytime i tackeled them we just said there's nothing left to do but to do a snow angel!  My excuse to catch my breath!  Jake of course went in early and played with Aunt Liz and Makenzie! 

I know I have talked with most of your guys about my Niece Makenzie, she is 3 months younger than Jake and has special needs.  This is a very exciting walker that she borrowing that supports her so that she can exersize her legs.  She holds her head up these days for 5-10 seconds and pushes off her feet when motivated by a good game of peek-a-boo!  We're all very proud of her!
