Astros Game 2011

our seats were several rows above the bullpen

sweet and happy boy! (Gammie's arm got cropped out, but we were worried about him being close to the street!)

so cute!

kinda lookin sleepy!

The sweetest face ever!

Last Tuesday evening, while our A/C in our house was out, we went to the Astros game with my mom, dad, Court, and Shad. We had free tickets thru the Y and really enjoyed our night! This was Jakey's second astros game.

Pool Season is here!!

Little man going down the "Shampoo" (aka: Shamu) slide at the Bear Branch Pool

"Hey Mommy!"

After you, Kiki!




Gammie and Papaw came to the pool with us! Cranebrook this time!

Our growing family and Jakey being silly...

Daddy resting and hiding from the sun during the 10 min break...he doesn't love the sun and tan like Mommy and Jakey do!

Where's JAKE?!? I think Papaw drug him under!

Jakey loved this slide even more this year. He'd say, "Papaw (or Gammie) take you that big slide."

We had a blast and are so excited for pool season this year! Mommy will get to cool off and go without makeup all summer and Jakey will have a blast, too. Looking forward to many more pool trips with friends and family.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend, too!

2 Year Comparisons

Daddy...

So cute! Jakey's BRIGHT baby blues come from Daddy!

Mommy...

Jake pointed to the screen right now and said, "Mommy, that's Jakey, Mommy!" I said, "No, Jake, that's Mommy when she was a baby. He said, "Oh, okay, that's Mommy, Mommy. :)

Fun Facts:

Daddy-27.5lbs, 35 inches tall (no percentiles seen in baby book)

Mommy- 29.5lbs 36.5 inches tall (90% weight, off the charts for height)

Jakey- 31lbs 36 inches tall (80% weight, 90% height) --this is a guess based on memory :)

PS-

Jeremy's opinion- Jake looks nothing like he did when he was little, and his face looks a lot like mine did but my crazy curls make it hard to see at a glance. :)

My opinion- He resembles my baby pics more still, but the guy/girl comparisons are gonna get funny soon--my hair gets pretty long after age 2. He's a better mix at this age, I didn't think he resembled Jer's baby pics at all. I still think Jake has huge eyes, and Jeremy has small ones and they have a completely different mouth and hair.

The last time I posted Mommy and Daddy's baby pictures everyone said Mommy, but had expected to say Daddy. See below if ya wanna check back:

Well, it's been well over a year and I was curious again. My family and family friends of our's say that Jake looks exactly as I did at that age, with a little less hair.

Jeremy's parents have said the same about him. So, here are some not-so-good pics, but I found them pretty quick and decided to post, it'll be fun to look back on later.

What do you think?!?

San Antonio Fun!!!

Posing on the Lions like we did as kids!

So sweet!


So happy--he had just picked out "baby".

I LOVE this pic. It was love at first sight!!



The alligator popped right up by Jakey!

Peeping thru the hole in the Children's area -- it was prairie dogs --baby prairie dogs!

He LOVES walking thru these rock tunnels and seeing the fish.

Pelicans with Gran!

Such a sweet pic of Lissa and Jakey!! (aka Aunt Wissa!)

The following pics are from the Natural Bridge Caverns Wildlife Safari-- so fun!

Knock, knock!

He was not scared of the zebras, they were nuts!

See what I mean!?!

He loved driving as much as he loved the animals. :)

the "Biggg" Giraffes

Such perfect, cool weather!!

A couple of weeks ago Papaw took Mommy and Jake to meet Lissa in Giddings so Lissa could take us back to San Antonio for a couple of days while she was off. Daddy worked at home the rest of the week and then joined us for the weekend/Sea World. We went up on a Tues afternoon and Wed and Thurs were spent at the Safari and the Zoo. We loved both---Jake's the perfect age and is such a happy boy when he's outside. We ate out Mexican food a couple of times and two of our favorite restaurants and watched movies each night. It was the perfect mixture of relaxation and fun, as always. And, Jeremy helped on the relaxation part by scheduling me a one hour facial at the spa that I love there!

My uncle Jon came up over the weekend, too and we ended the weekend by going to their church on Sunday. No one had seen Jake in a while so it was good to visit with everyone! Jake was shoving Gran and my Mother's Day roses (that their church handed out) in all of our faces to smell, so he was being quite the ham. He loved all of the laughs and sweet compliments he received!

We had a great week, and can't wait to go back. But first, we'll let Gran and Lissa rest, Jakey is 90 miles an hour and he can wear you out! =)

Sea World!!

Jake on lookout for the dolphins

Yummy smoothie on the ride home


he loved the nets!

Jake doesn't watch much tv, and Sesame street is the only thing he even kinda watches. He was saying, "Bernie" thru the fence. Haha! It was sweet--they turned around and there was a whole line of people in front of them and we didn't even bother going since they actually played w/him thru the fence.

Look at that air! He loves to run. He reminds me of Forest Gump, hehe!!

The big ride that Jake rode and loved!

Soo happy after coming down-- about to get off the ride.

Precious--melts my heart!

This ride was FUN! The man next to us got such a kick out of Jake's giggles the whole time we were spinning/swinging.

"Shampoo!!!!!" Hehe

This boy had the best time at Sea World!! He was so happy all day, except when we'd leave something he loved--which was everything! His favorite was definitely the Texas Splash Down, which we always called the log ride. He giggled and squealed the whole time, it was so priceless. He never got scared and kept asking for "One more boat ride" all day. So, of course we went back later! He also loved playing in the water, Shampoo (Shamu), lemonade, the Abby ride he rode with Mommy, the carousel, and the dolphins. He just kept saying, "Wanna get in the water" when we were petting the dolphins. Ha! We were shocked he lasted so long, we finally called it a day around 4:30 because we were getting hungry and thirsty and didn't want to eat dinner at the park. He loved his smoothie on the way home! We had the perfect, perfect day and are soaking up every second with our Jakey!!

PS-Daddy and I are THRILLED to have someone who loves thrill rides as much as we do! Yayy!!
