Our little climber....JACOB!

Our playset in the back yard has a raised "playhouse" with a ladder leading up to it and slide down.  I never dreamed I'd need to childproof the ladder.....until I found Jacob on the 2nd rung yesterday.  He's climbing up on anything and everything now....and completely thrilled about it.  The amazing thing is that John is the one with all the bumps & bruises--go figure!?

Just a typical Saturday afternoon...

Sleepy Head Jacob

It's 8:15 AM & both J's are still sleeping!  Jacob is such a happy guy, that he often lays awake sucking his fingers until I go in to get him up.  I went in this morning to check, and he was still out, but the fingers were in the mouth and butt in the air.  What a cutie!

Kenny's Ice Cube Service

I explained hail as "ice cubes falling from the sky", which made Kenny want to collect the hail and bring it inside (no doubt for chilled beverages!?:-).

CRAZY storms!

This is what I opened the patio door to this morning.  We had huge storms from about 9PM to 1AM.  The hail was the grand finale.  I can't imagine how much there was initially--this is what was left a 7AM.  The painted window surrounds on the East side of the house took a major hit--I guess I'll be getting my paint brush out.  And my mint was a bumper crop until this too.  Boo hoo....actually thankful that there wasn't any worse damage!

Wednesday night "popping"!

Darin brought home some bubble wrap from work.  The boys had a ball with it!  Poor John didn't weigh enough to pop any of the bubbles, but he kept trying!

Working Hard!

We really are working hard this weekend....despite how these pictures may look:-)  My friend & I had a garage sale yesterday morning.  I was thrilled to get rid of ALL the baby gear, but have tons of clothing left.  Darin has been tackling some landscaping maintenance--shoveling rock uphill--ha ha--I'm happy to be dealing with the garage sale:-)  About every 2 minutes Kenny says, "Let's take a break Daddy!".
