Snow-Bear

Jacob spent some of the warmer winter temperatures building a snow-bear with Dad and Grandpa S. I'm sure you can figure out who was responsible for all of the sticks on the bottom. Here are two of them showing it off:

Goofing Around

I like the innocence in his eyes!!

He was "helping" Mom make Special K bars by licking chocolate off of the spoon.

This hoola-hoop is actually a tunnel when expanded. But isn't he cute?



Taking a break to send a text to May-May...she lives in Milwattee.

Jake the Builder

Part of Jake's construction set that he received for Christmas includes a hard hat and safety goggles...enough said!! (I don't know how the beads came into play)

Light and Fluffy

Sunday morning, we woke up to about an inch of fluffy snow. Jake insisted on helping Dad shovel. The funniest part is that he pushes snow in every direction.

Bubble Boy and the Crazy Canine

We are all at the point this winter where we are trying not to go stir crazy. I don't think Josie made it.

Goofing Around at Home

The other night I had to place the "cone of shame" in plain sight as a threat to Wrigley. Consequently, Jacob found it and well....

Christmas with the Menace

Here are some of the highlights of family Christmas 2010.

Miscellaneous

I don't know what Jake was hoping to accomplish here.

Jake likes that the tree tickles his feet.


This was taken at the AEGON Children's Christmas party. He was throwing a "snowball".





Cool dude walking.

Showing off his smile.

Wrigley "broke a nail".

Snow Day

A few weekends ago, Scott was out of town on a hunting trip while we received the first measurable snowfall of the season. Because I am less than proficient in operating the skidloader, Jake and I cleared the nearly 2 inches of powdery stuff by hand. He was actually quite the little helper.

Jacob Speaks

I got the wild man to sit still long enough to show-off a selection of his animal sounds (and listening skills). We didn't make it to owl, bird, or pig before I lost his attention.
