Snow and Super Jacob

Ok so this is the snow before the week long snow/ice storm. We got a bit of snow and it melted over night. But we dressed warm and walked around in the backyard for a bit. It was Jacob's first time in the snow.



Marc yelled for me to bring the camera in the bathroom while he was giving Jacob a bath. I walk in and see BOTH of them wearing "capes". Marc had put Jacob's washcloth on his shoulders and told him he was superhero and Marc also had wrapped his towel around his own shoulders :)

Too Many Pictures!

There were way too many pictures takes on and around Christmas in Monterey. It has felt really overwhelming to try and compile them so here are a few.

The new train track and trains were a big hit and Aunt Becky was so great to play with Jacob so much!!



"NICE PANDA" was said over and over by Jacob who loved his pillow pet panda!


Jacob loved the deck at Mimi and Grandpa's! They had toys for him to push around and he also liked to help sweep.




Oliver is a wild blue jay that comes to eat peanuts from Mimi's hand! Jacob loved Oliver and looked out the window for him all day and asked for peanuts to put out for him. Now we hear this all the time "Oliber, blue jay, peanuts, flew away" over and over. He is also sure that "Oliber" takes the peanuts to some babies :)

MOON JELLIES!! AQUARIUM!!

While in Monterey we went to the famous Monterey Aquaruim. Jacob had a great time and fell in love with MOON JELLIES (a kind of jelly fish). He STILL talks about moon jellies, it goes something like this " moon jellies at aquarium, moon jellies pretty". He brings them up at random times like first thing in the morning or while we are eating dinner. The touch tank and splash area were also favorite- really anytime Jacob can splash in water he is a happy boy.

Carmel Beach!

I know we are WAY behind so here we go...
We went to Monterey for Christmas and did so many fun things! One of our favorites was going to Carmel Beach. The weather was nice and sunny and Jacob LOVES the water and sand. He was soaked but didn't seem to mind. We had to make a few quick grabs so he didn't get taken out to sea!

Who is ready for Christmas!!!!!!

Sure this beard isn't as full or luxurious as Santa's, but Jacob can sculpt his anyway he wants. He is also opening up an advent square every day and seeing what is behind them. We recently purchased a Little Peoples nativity set and he knows all of the people and who they are and the animals associated with them. He also has Mary kiss baby Jesus good night which is very sweet.

Random pics

The family picture at Thanksgiving

Whew, tough day at the office. I now understand why daddy has a beer sometime.

This is how real men camp. Don't worry I am secure enough in my manhood to wear this super cool hat.

This hat also doubles as a chef's hat in the kitchen when I help mommy.


The Sock Hand Monster is going to get you!!! Not as scary as Freddy Krugger, but he knows how to make you smell stinky socks.

Halloween

What child doesn't like Halloween? Dressing up in a costume, getting candy, and looking cute. Jacob didn't know what to make of halloween mom and dad made him get into a dog costume and then I wore a Michael Vick jersey, you know to take a sweet and innocent costume to the other end of the spectrum. We went to the local mall and trick or treated around a few stores and called it a night. All in all it was a good time had by all, and mommmy and daddy especially liked eating the candy.
