Dad's Idea of "Safe boy playtime"
This is what happens when dad gets lazy and doesn't want to pull jacob around. He thinks its safe because he hooked up a bungee cord between the two to take the jerk out of pulling the little car. Funny thing is both kids enjoyed it so much they keep asking to hook it up again! Boys!!!!!
Long time no post....
So its been a little while here are some todays funnies:
Me: Follow me AROUND all this water... (i look back..).. JACOB get out of the damn water!!!!!
Nathan: Mom i am in the damn water.
Me: nathan dont say damn.. and get out of the water
Nathan: mom why did you say it then?
Me: i was wrong but i was mad because you were supposed to follow me around it...
Nathan: well than SAY THAT MOM..
me: I DID NATHAN
jacob: damn water mama, damn water mama..
Me: :( shaking my head.
They are little sponges and repeat everything you say.
So we visited my brother in law two weeks ago. They were showing us how ryan has learned to play some games on the computer. We thought we would give Nathan a try on our computer at home. We started him on the pbskids.org site which is fabulous. I showed him how to use the mouse and he slowly learned game by game and now after a week and half he can navigate the ENTIRE website and play games on all the different sites. Its crazy!! He even turns off the screen and speakers and puts the mouse away when he is done. One time he got somewhere and didnt know where he was... I watched him hit the drop down box hit pbskids.org and get back to the main site where he knew where he was. I cant believe how much he has picked up in the little bit of time he has played. I have a feeling he will be teaching me things shortly!
We did the portable north pole site again this year where you customize a video from santa for your kids. You should have seen nathans face watching the video he was AMAZED~! I love the look on his face as santa opens the book with his picture and age, and name. He would talk back when santa asked questions. We were cracking up~ I love who ever invented that site.
They have both been very good this year. Eddie the elf has been a big help. I think we might keep eddie out all year this year and not wait to pull him out at thanksgiving. Jacob thinks eddie is HIS elf. He keeps wanting to sleep with him! But I take him out of the bed after he falls asleep and re-hide him. The boys love getting up and finding him every morning.

Jacob Tanner turns two!!
As much as I hate to admit it. My baby is growing up. Jacob Tanner turned two on Friday. We celebrated that night at Gatti-land. The kids had a great time but I think Aunt BB had the best time (she is a ski-ball fanatic) By the end of the night we had almost 500 tickets between BB and Clint and Daddy and the boys. So we got them a bunch of little toys at the ticket counter. It was almost 9:30 before we got home and we had the Boehm reunion all day Saturday. It was a LONG weekend.
We had the party this afternoon w/ family and few friends. I totally botched the cake this morning by melting part of the butter instead of softening it. Sooo I ended up saving the day by calling the great American cookie company(who wasn't even open till noon... but got me a cake ready by 11:15....and yes if i am paying 25 for a cake it better be one I like!) Jacob had a blast. We gave him his big present on Friday night. He got a kitchen. HE LOVES TO COOK. He kissed his kitchen good night Friday night. Then sat he woke up sat right up in bed and yelled "kitchen", got all his stuffed animals brought them out and went straight to his kitchen. He has been cooking up a storm all weekend.

Christmas cards....(sorry used the good photos this time.. i hid them)
So with the Boehm reunion close at hand last week I figured I had better get my Christmas cards done so I save 50 dollars in postage by handing them out at the reunion. Sooooo thurs night we dressed the boys in their new Christmas Pj's, gave Nathan a mo-hawk, and spiked Jacobs hair and took some pics. Here are some of my fav's. Nathan smiled like a champ (keep in mind he has NEVER done that before... and Jacob decided to not cooperate and be a stinker)
