OMG, they are tooo cute. Jake saw cory with the weedeater and went and grabbed his play one and went out on the porch pretending to cut the grass that was by the bottom step. i love him to death



Jake saw cory flip it upside down to get the stuff out and did the same.. LOL

Mecah and I got matching shoes!!! LOL.  Can't beat $5 a pop!!

Today he asked me for a sandwich so I made him one and he kept trying to eat it on the couch. finally, I told him to get down and go get his Wall-E bean bag chair to sit on instead. he ran and got it, came back and continued eating it. Then, he looks at me and asks for his drink (which is right on the table in front of him) and I told him to get it himself. He stands up, sets his sandwich on the bean bag chair and takes a drink. Then, he sits back down in the chair, right ontop of his sandwhich, looks at me, and asks, "mommy, where sandwich?". OMG, I nearly died laughing. i finally told him to stand up and he looked, said, "OH!", grabbed it,, and continued eating. LMAO. He is def his father's child!!!

Jake: Drink Please

Us: (give him the drink) Thats it, no more

Jake: thank you, night mama/ daddy

Us: Night Baby, slep well

Jake: Ellu (love you) Walle, Ellu Mommy / Daddy

This is the picture of when Nancy watched the kids while cory and I went out. LOL....That is my friend Staci's puppy sleeping next to them :P

Ok, I know he is a boy, but I still named him Midnight and jake took the liberty of also calling him midnight. . . how cute!! he loves this rabbit to death already and wants to be by his side under the table. LOL. he is SUPER soft, really sweet, loves to be pet, and best of all, he is litter box trained!! We just let him run around in our livingroom and he is so well behaved! Here are some pics:


He is such a chubby bunny, too!!


cory says he hopes I don't get too attached before we give him to Kevin. LOL....no worries, I won't, I don't want yet ANOTHER animal to clean up after......YET!

Ok, so I decided years ago I wanted a tattoo and I FINALLy got one yesterday. ... . two small cherries behind my right ear. I TOTALLY love them. Stefan does a great job and I am so excited!

Mecah is looking at him like, "What the heck?!"






I did these for their Halloween cards but I just don't care for them that much....they are missing something. I think for the orange one, I am goign to put bats flying around on the orange part. lol. i usually do much better jobs at these but I guess I get designers block when it comes to doing my own. LOL. I love doing these!! Now all Ihave to do is send em to walmart and I can actually have the cards out BEFORE halloween!!!

    

China (boxer) and Toby (English Rat Terrier)




Then, Spike-a-rella (aka Spike. lol) Bearded Dragon



Of course, I can't forget Simon (even though he isn't 'here' he is still part of the zoo. lol)



Rocky / Little Dude (off of Finding Nemo) our Red Eared Slider that we found in our backyard.



And our newest addition, Killer / Brutis (Cory wants to name it Moby Dick to rhyme with Toby. Boys!! LOL) I thought killer or brutis was a great name for such a tiny dog!
Suggestions? LOL . They believe that he is a Fox Terrier Mix


oh, wait, I can't forget the two most important members of the zoo....the most dangerous and destructive ones.......

MECAH and JACOB!

Ok, well, not really....Cory wn't let me keep him. lol (Im working on it though!!) I opened the door this morning to find this little cuite pie on our doormat!






He isn't very big at all ... he is probably the size of a chiuauah (sp?) and should get the size of our English Rat Terrier Toby. He is sooo cute!! Very sweet with the kids, loving, and such a cuddle bug. :) I called the pet store, pound, looked on pe.com and then finally ran across an add in www.pennysaverusa.com that sounded like it described him pretty well! I called and left a message so hoepfully they will say that it is theirs and be able to describe him! (As much as i want to keep him, I also want the real owners to have their baby back) Ill post more pics later!

The other day, Jake had saw that Cory was cleaning out the lizzard cage and felt the need to go help. Well, he was watching for a while and then Cory noticed that there were little tiny beetles coming from the lawn where he got it wet with the hose up on the porch. He figured they would be perfect to put into the lizard tank to feed her. Jake, seeing him do this, started to help him and would squish the bettles in his fingers and help put them in her cage on the porch. :) he was TOO CUTE helping out and feeling so acomplished. . . here are a few pics:





He was so proud of himself!! (He loves to watch Spike [bearded dragon] eat any bugs and it tickled him to know he fed her) Half  the beetles were dead before they got in the tank but he didn't know any better. lol

Im shipping pie to Auntie Stacey's house!!! LOL

Im so bad, its always so hot my kids run around in diapers half the time!!



just have to fold her in half, add some food and a sippy cup of water and she'll be good till tomorrow morn!

 This morning, Jake was really hungry (nothing unusual about that. lol) so we went into the kitchen together so that he could "help" me choose what he would have for breakfast. He then goes in the fridge and I ask him if he wants a burrito (or batitio as he calls it ) and he said no and then proceeded to point to some yogurt. i figured that that was healthy so why not? lol. I gave it to him, got a spoon, and sat him down next to Mecah so they could eat together. Well, turns out Mecah didn't want when I gave her and her whining must have got to jake because when I looked back, he was feeding her his yogurt. One bit for him, one bite for her. LOL. It was TOOOOOO cute so i had to get a video and  a few pics. The best part was that he only spillled a few drops of food! 

No matter what anyone says, he really does love his little sister. . . He knows that if he gets up from his nap first, he runs into Mecah's room and says, "HI MEEEECAH".

Here is a video of the kids eating...TOO CUTE!

Last night, I went to bed early in hopes of actually falling asleep at a decent hour...yeah right! lol. i ended up coming out in the living room about 10 to see if Cory was almost done playing his video games and since he wasn't, I couldn't help it, I went into mecah's room, got her from her crib sleeping so soundly, and snuggled with her for around an hour. Sometimes I just love it when they are sleepy and not distracted by everything else going on. i took her in our room and laid down with her and watched T.V. She fell asleep in my arms so cute with her legs propped up on the blankie. About an hour later, I pop out of the room with her in my arms and Cory started laughing so hard...he said, "You are so bored you woke Mecah?". LOL. I would have woke jake up but he was up way later than her and probably just fell alseep. next time :P 

 Today I walk in to Jake's room and realize that he is in a grouchy mood. Well, to make him happy, i go ot pick him up and he throws himself down in his crib banging my elbow in the process. Usually after he realizes that he "hurt" me, he will apologize and be happy again. well, i start to fake cry and he looks at me, glares, and says, "oh, stop crying". LMAO!!! I had to leave the room so he wouldn't see me laughing hysterically! OH, how I love my little boy!

Mecah Lynn.... I still can't believe she is one year, one week today! Hard to imagine! lol. We had her little b-day dinner with grandma, papa, and the rest of us. She was so cute. . . ate all the food she could possibly fit in her little belly. I couldn't help it, her little dress she wore was so cute that I had to put piggy tales in her little hair! Here are some pics :







She is my little girl...she LOVED all the outfits that papa and grandma got her! Her fav was the little baby doll which she sleeps with every night. :)
