Fun Stuff

We had our first trick today at gymnastics open gym, a belly roll off the bars!  he did lots of them but then quickly moved into what i've decided to call his free running skills instead of his crazy jakes going to kill himself moves!

Notice how the movie abruptly stops when he continuts to climb higher!  Mom was called to action!

Yes its a picture of a picture but look how fun my little guy made the bulletin board!

Play SetFun!  We got our playset after jakes Big Birthday Party and we love it, you know when its not 5,000' outside!  

 We also found one good night where the lightning bugs were out like crazy and the 3 of us caught like 35 of them!  So much fun, you know we had to bring them inside to the bathroom the only dark room in the house to see them light up!  Ahh the summer fun to be had!

At first jake just wanted to put one in and then let it out, but he eventually got the hang of putting them in and shutting the door!

Gymnastics, Dance and the River!

Our class!

Look Tess look at my medal!


Gymnastics Spectacular!  Jake had his end of season gymnastics show this weekend and it was both fun and so silly!  Sorry just one 13 min video nothing short for the blog but look how proud he is of himself!  And of course how proud his little sister is of him!

Cousin Victoria after her big recital on saterday!


OH and this was week two of river kids, and Jake insisted on stearing the paddle boat today so we may have looked like drunk boaters weaving back and forth but it was fun!

Peonies r a bloomin!

What a beautiful day!  We got to the Arb around 11 just before the heat came and how beautiful it is out there! 

Our Tour Guide!

I caaan climb trees!

All you Ann Arborites really have to make it over there!  It reminded me of when i was dreaming of having out wedding there, only drawback was they didn't alow chairs!  That's right just a little bit of shade and no where to sit, deal breaker.

Checking out the Fairy and Troll Houses.

Neighborhood Park Party!  How fun is this turtle!

   Anyway, fun family day hope you all had a great sunday!

Tess Loved touching the flowers.  Jake kept telling me that the little ones were going to Pop open soon!  We also walked down to the river and played in the water a little.  It was the perfect weather to not care if he got wet since we were dry before we walked back up the stairs!

Who needs a photographer i have a backpack and a timer!

Tess' Baptism

We had Tess Baptised this weekend and it went to well!  She cried before and after the actual Baptism but during the Dunk she smiled at Father and laughed as he was talking to her!  She's not shy in her birthday suit!

She has also mastered sitting up which makes for great pictures so i just had to share them all!  So excited to see how she's growing but i'm so sad that's going by so fast!

6 Months? How did that happen

I can't believe Tess is 6 months old!  How did that happen?

Just Trying out the sippy Cup!  Not bad for a first timer!

She is doing great sitting up by herself for a couple mintues at a time!  Just rolled over for the first time last week, except that freek suprise when she was 10 weeks old then never did it again until now!  Silly girl!  We joke that she's too happy to get motivated enough to move!

At her 6 month apt she weighed in at 15.2lb's and 25 1/2 inches!  Which is a perfect proportioned 30th percentile!  So excited to have a baby on the chart!




She wakes up 2-3 times a night about 4 nights a week but will suprise us and sleep through the night the other 2 or 3 nights a week!  You can never guess what she'll do.  Oddly when she wakes up at night i'm ok with it because that means she'll sleep in.  But if she sleeps through the night she's awake at 6 and ready to play until 9 and that is harder!




Had to share a quick video of jake on his bike!  He loves it!  Goes so fast!  We're teaching him, if you go to fast go in the grass!  He's only had one bad crash and he got right up and asked me "what's that guy doin!"  He's a tough kid!

We bike all the way to the park where Tess loves to swing!
