It's been a while!

Here's Jake helping me clean the house. He LOVES to vacuum!

At the Children's Museum today Jake decided to eat some paint. This is a terrible blurry cell phone picture, but you can see a big blob of pink paint on his face. He either stuck the paint brush in his mouth or wiped his mouth with his hand - which was also full of paint. Thank goodness for non-toxic!

Riding tricycles through the "car wash" at the museum this morning.

Children's Museum

We took Jake to the Phoenix Children's Museum this morning .. what a great place! I am sure we will spend a lot of time there this summer since it is nice and cool and out of the sun.

Here is Jake playing the xylophone made from old wrenches.

Checking out the scene three floors below

If you look real hard and click on the picture to make it bigger you can see Brian in the background playing with the "spider flinging machine" while Jake is painting with water on the flagsones.

Flagstone Picasso

Jake and I climbing in the giant "climber"

It is sad that the only picture I got of Brian and Jake today is one of their backs! Not a good photography day for me.

Up in the climber

Here we are sitting in the giant winged bathtub which is suspended 2 stories up in the climber.

Random Cell Phone Shots

Yum yum! Nothing better than a topless walk (Jake was topless) to Sonic and a milkshake on a 100 degree evening!

Checking out the pool at the gym

This is what Jake's hair looks like with sunscreen in it

Jake and Brian at the gym pool .. I love my boys!

Swimmin'

Here are a couple of pictures from Jake's first swim of the year (in our pool).

Kitchen Helper

Jake loves to "help" in the kitchen. Brian built him a stool type thing that lets him stand at the counter with us and see what is going on up there. It has been a really cool way to let him learn about cooking without having to hold him in order to let him see what we are doing. Much safer than letting him stand on a chair!

At the mall

Jake and I met our friends Michelle and Cassie at the mall the other day for a little "play date" .. we had a great time and loved meeting Cassie for the first time.

Driving Mama

Brian and I decided that I deserve a chauffeur. We can't afford much, but this little blondie volunteered to work cheap.

He loves his job ..
