Emily and Me.......I love my sis!!!!

I think this is a really random pictures of a stuffed poodle she got. It was really cool though, I promise!

Tonight Emily and I went to Janel's (Kristin's sister -Kristin is Jake's girlfriend for those who don't know) birthday party. It was alot of fun!!! Our feet are really sore, but hey, it was totally worth it. It gave us time to just hang out and have fun with friends. Sometimes it's good to get away from the fam..lol. Anyways, here's some pictures of tonight. I've got to go to bed, because I have yet another late night tomorrow night. Yes, formal is finally here! So, look for another update soon!!

Happy Chinese New Year

Update on us!

We have had a busy week. David left on Tuesday night for Indiana. He is at the Monument Builders of North America convention. He calls us everyday to give us the updates on the conference. He is learning lots. We are missing him a bunch. Jacob's foot his healing well. He says it is still sore, but he won't give up baseball. Emily is all done with her Constitution testing. She told me on Tuesday that she passed it. She is very relieved that it is all over. She started basketball and she has her first game on Monday. Now on to Hannah. Hannah has done so many little things this week. I noticed on Thursday that she has cut a tooth though the missing part of her gum(palate). I was very excited, because this means that there are teeth in there. Hannah is missing her daddy very much. I think she is a little confused with me taking and picking Jacob and Emily to school. Today I laid her down for a nap in her crib like I do everyday. I went in to check on her a few minutes later she had climbed out of her crib and went to sleep by the door. Jacob took the front rail off to make her bed a big girl bed. I was dreading bed time tonight, but it went much better than I thought. I actually did the Super Nanny advice on getting kids to stay in the beds..It worked!!!!!! It only took me about 15 mins. Hopefully every night will go as smooth. I hope all is well with everyone. We would love it if everyone would leave us comments. Take care and God Bless!!!

Naptime

Mom put Hannah down for a nap today, and she cried for a while, then we didn't hear anything. We went in to check on her, and she CLIMBED out of her crib, and fell asleep by the door!! So, Jacob had to go take off the side of her crib, to change it into the "big girl's bed".

The Grove

The Farmers Market is just 1/2 of the Grove. There's alot of different places (of many ethnicities) to eat at. The greatest thing is that the places in the Farmer's Market are really cheap!

Dad, Mom, and Hannah at the grove. I think Hannah was looking at a dog....

Mom, Hannah and Jake infront of the fountains at the Grove.

A very chill spot to hang with friends.

*hint hint* Jake loves this stuff. Anyone willing to dry ice any tiramisu will be much appreciated!

Dad and Emily at Maggianos. Bakersfield really needs a place like this!

Hannah at dinner. She actually screamed "Da!" and then folded her hands and looked at dad and waited until he prayed. It was so sweet!!!!

We went down to the Grove Sunday. It was really fun to just get out of the valley for a day. It was really sunny, and in the upper 70's ALL DAY! We hardly bought anything, and just went down there to spend time together as a family (hard to come by these days!). This is one place that is really great to just chill, and hang out. We went to Maggiano's for dinner, and had a great time just enjoying the quiet relaxing day.

Jake pulled a "Plaxico Burress"

Well, yesterday I had to go wash the cars. Nothing big right? I pulled out the power washer to get the cars super clean (you know, me being the good son that I am..) I had the sprayer sitting on my foot, and I leaned over to turn the washer on. Little did I know, that the sucker was turned on high!!! The sprayer went off, and now I have a crater ontop of my foot. I will warn you, the pics are a bit gory, and not for the faint of heart.

The Stork met the BABY!!!

Hannah and I went on the lunch run to Subway today. While I was there The FEDEX man "The stork" was there. He approaches me and ask if this was the baby he delivered. I proudly said YES. He told me that our package was one of the funnest packages he has ever delivered. He kept telling me that Hannah was pretty cute. We think so to. After I got in the car I kept wondering how many Fed-Ex guys/women ever get to see the babies that they deliver to our houses. When they our delivering them to us they propably think we are some odd folks for asking for pictures and watching us cry as they hand our packages to us. I don't think I will ever forget that mans reaction as we ask for his picture.

6 months today

Today marks our 6 months that we recieved Hannah. It has been an amazing 6 months. She has adjusted quite well. She is really a precious treasure that God gave us. Loving my big brother and big sister!! Taken tonight January 7.

Not real sure what to think of all of this July 7, 2008

Marley & Me

Jacob and Emily went to the show today with some friends to see this movie. They said it is an AWESOME movie. A real tear jerker. So take your tissues.

The Hulk

Hannah loves to watch movies and eat popcorn with her daddy. This was the movie of choice for this Saturday night. The guys enjoyed it.






Eating popcorn with daddy!
Enjoying the movie! Daddy's cell is laying right beside him so he doesn't miss his texts from Jeff.

Hannah is 20 months

Hannah is 20 months old today! It seems like we have had her forever. I am amazed my what Hannah has learned over the last 6 months that we have had her. She is so inquisitive. She is so cute. She is doing really well. We have no more infections. I am very cautious where we take her. Germx is my friend. :) Sitting pretty!
Goofing off! She has such a cute smile!!!!
Can I touch this one?
Jacob is so funny!
Hannah loves to sit in this window sill. We have a kitty that sleeps under the window. She looks for daddy and the kitty several times a day.

Asleep

Hannah fell asleep in her highchair. She can curl herself up into the tightest ball.
