Stuff That Happened

Let's see. A lot has happened in the almost four months since a post (did I say almost, because I think it has actually been four months) Anyway, I have been taking pictures, so prepare yourself for the longest post. See if you can make it to the end.

Ryan and I were playing cars (a regular occurrence) We got so excited with some sort of ramp, this toy car flew into my face. It broke the fender (which I didn't realize, until this time, is actually plastic) and it took a chunk out of my face. Nice.

I had a really hard time documenting this. I thought it was so crazy that we needed to take a picture, but Ryan wanted to take the picture. Needless to say, this is 7 attempts later. It drew blood....and I need to pluck my eyebrows. hahaha.

I found this one while I was looking through the pictures (notice how much bigger Jake is by the end of the post) I guess when I am away, Matt lets Ryan feed Jake. Maybe I can leave them home alone together?! ;)

We celebrated Canada Day. Actually, the celebration consisted of wearing this hat for about 2 minutes. WooHoo!

We celebrated the 4th of July for real. Real fireworks. Real food. It was fun.

This is a common occurrence, Ryan always wants Jake to sit beside him and for me to take a picture (I really don't mind though so this may be why we do it so often)

Jake tried rice cereal. This was before we even pulled out the highchair. Ryan was sad that Jake wasn't getting any food so we let him try some. He has since moved on to more flavorful selections. And a better chair.

For Ryan's birthday, I got up early to make his cake. Ryan ALWAYS wants to help in the kitchen. Any mother out there knows how big of a help he is ;)

The cake was a success. Of course Ryan wanted to play with it. But when we told him it was for eating, he wasn't too upset cutting into Thomas.

Jake keeps getting cuter and bigger.

And we try to keep him clean. Which has become more challenging now that he is eating more food, and grabbing the spoon and flinging food everywhere trying to help feed himself.

Per usual, Ryan has to be in on the action and loves to help "clean Jake."

Some idiot turned left into our car. Yes, the boys were in the car with me. The car was declared a total loss because three airbags deployed and we had to get a new one.

Ryan found this grasshopper on the outside screen of one of the upstairs windows. THAT IS MY HAND. Which makes that grasshopper more than 3 inches long. Sick. At least it was outside.

Jake continues to LOVE the Jolly Jump.

See?

We went to a pumpkin patch to collect some pumpkins. This is on the hayride.

This is Ryan telling me that EVERY pumpkin is the one we need to get.

This is him jumping on the pumpkins. Despite the numerous signs telling you not too. Hey, he can't read yet, so I figure it's okay.

And this is the end of this post.
