Valentines Day
Happy Valentines Day to everyone. I hope that your day was very special. Regan and I thought that we would take the kids to the park for some family fun and a little photo shoot. We had a lot of fun taking pictures of the kids and watching them play. Here are a few pictures that I thought were good. I will have to say that out kids sure do take great pictures. If Jake is in a good mood he loves pose for the camera.

This is a street sign here just North of our house. We saw it when we were looking to build a few years ago. At that time we did not know we were going to have another child but we have always said that if we were to have a girl we would name here Haven.

Haven in the rain

A few weeks ago we had a couple of big rain storms come through here. The first day of the storm I thought that I would take the kids out to play in it. This would be the first time that Haven really got to do this. I got out her new rain boots and we went on our way. She just loves to splash around in the puddles.

Granddaddy's 90th Birthday.

My mom and Aunt decided to have a surprise Birthday party for my Granddad. It was at the assisted living were him and Grandmother live. All of there kids can and there grandchildren and even most of there great grandchildren were there. What a great time we all had being able to be together. Here are a few pictures for that party.

I just want to say that Jake is so sweet to both of my Grandparents. He just loves on them and loves to make them pictures. He is just one of the sweets boys that I know.

Jake, Haven, and Carly

The kids and I went to Texas last month for my Granddaddy's 90th Birthday. My brother picked us up at the airport and we took a trip to go see my sweet Niece Carly. It was so nice to get o=all the kids together. Here are a few pictures of the kids.

Jake, Haven and Carly. I love this picture because Jake just loved playing with Carly and she liked him too. I think that it is so sweet that Carly is looking up at Jake.

They just had so much fun together. those smile are so sweet

Carly in her Daddy's hat. I love babies in hats

All three of them together. This is the best that I could do trying to get the three of them to look at the camera.

Daddy time

Guest Post... Natalie wanted me to write a little something about the sporting events that I have taken the kids to recently (last few months...). One of my dads fishing buddies has AWESOME Cardinal seats on the 50 yard line that we got to use. These are seats many of my friends would have loved to sit in next to me but I choose to take my little guy along for the experience. Well... as soon as we got there Jake saw the Cotton Candy guy and begged me to buy him some. We then proceeded to get drinks and Jake a Hot Dog because he thought he needed one of those as well. We get to our seats and he eats the Hot Dog and then decided he did not want the $6 bag of cotton candy I purchased for him. How frustrating, he wouldn't even try it because he is just as stubborn as his mom. Anyway we left our sweatshirts in the car because it was pretty nice out but they had the roof open so the wind made it a little cold. I made Jake tough it out until half time to go all the way back out to our car to get his sweatshirt. I haven't mentioned it yet but by this time Jake had probably asked me 50 times if we could just go home. We ended up leaving a few minutes into the 4th qtr because the Cardinals were up 21 points. I then swore to myself that I would not take Jake to a sporting event for 2 years.

Well I should have listened to myself...my parents have really good Phoenix Suns tickets and we usually get the tickets when they are out of town. We found out last minute we had the tickets and Natalie already had a "girls" night planned so I decided to not let the tickets go to waste and took both kids by myself. I wont bore you with the details but it was interesting. We made it to half time then headed home. Nat put a couple of pics blew from our "adventures".

Random Haven Pics

These are just a few pictures of Haven.

In this picture I just wanted to show off her beautiful curls. I just love that she has curls. This cute jacket was given to her from a dear friend of mine. It looks just like me. I sure hope that Haven likes camo because her mama does.

The next 2 pictures are of Haven teaching her baby to go potty. This is the before picture and a during picture. I just wish she would teach herself to go potty. I guess that it is time for me to get Haven her own potty.

Underwear Man

Underwear Man!!! Jake would get so mad at me if he knew how many people read this blog. He knows that I create the blog but he does not realize that people read it. I had to put this on here just so everyone could see how much fun my little dude is. He makes us laugh everyday.
