Bike Race

We got to go to Brian's bike race on Saturday - it was at Estrella Mountain Park (which is only about 10 minutes from home). Brian did great! He took 3rd place. Jake had a nice day playing in the dirt and enjoying another great Phoenix "winter" day.





Baking

Jake and I making cinnamon rolls .. yum yum!


Soccer

We thought it might be fun for Jake to participate in a "multi-sport" class for a few weeks. It is at the new Avondale Sports Complex right down the street from us. The first two weeks were soccer, the second two weeks are baseball, then basketball and football. It's pretty fun to watch him "play."

Friends!

We had such a nice visit with our friends last weekend. Erin, Sareana and Alex Kelly came down from Portland to thaw out a little. We had a great time watching the boys play together. They hadn't seen each other since Jake was about 4 or 5 months old. They got along great! We wish they lived closer to us, but hopefully with airline daddy's we can keep seeing each other periodically. 


The boys at the "kid" table


Eating lettuce out of the garden - yummy! 


Playing with trucks

If there is anything better than bike shorts and helmets, it is our husbands dancing in their lovely outfits :-) Wish this was video!

Jake is 2!

One of Jake's (and Dad's) favorite activities is reading together before bed. I know this isn't a birthday picture - but it was taken right around his birthday and fit in with this posting :-)


 Jake has perfected the art of smiling for the camera, complete with a cheesey grin. Here he is having a birthday cupcake - or maybe just smearing it on his face. I'm nor sure if any of it made it into his mouth.


 Playing with blocks on his birthday - and another pose for the camera


Playing with Mom in the new Thomas Tent - Thanks Aunt Amy and Uncle Steve, Macie, Maddie & Mylie!
