I couldn't be anymore happier when Stacy Thomas said that she'd do our 2010 family pictures for us. She is so good and I'm always so pleased on how they turn out. She never disappoints. It was a treat to have her family there. They were a huge help with the boys. We hope that Stacy keeps the tradition going and take our family picture next year.

This is my new favorite candy bar. The only bad news is that you have to go all the way to Romania to find it. How I wish they sold it in the states. If they did I'd be in trouble cuz I'd be 5 pounds heavier. It's chocolate and white chocolate - (I think) all layered on a cookie. Mmmm. So yum.

If your thinking why so many pictures of Jacob and not so many of his brothers? Well it's cuz the camera comes out after things have slowed down which means the two oldest are in bed. Meanwhile Jacob is usually up after sleeping all day and hanging out with me while waiting for Dad to come home. I try and go to bed before Brian gets home but I can't seem to fall asleep until I know he's home. There will be more pictures soon cuz Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell will be here next week and Lucas will be turning 2

The boys were invited to a Star wars themed birthday party and were way excited that they'd get to go slip n sliding for the first time ever. It was the best day ever because there was cake and hot dogs to top it off. Jacob was held by the Birthday boy who is hoping for a little brother or sister. Maybe his Birthday wish will come true. We'll see.

Baby Jacob

I wanted to post an update about Lucas but his picture disappeared. I'll have to try again later.

Jacob is growing and growing. Everyone loves a half naked baby so I had to throw that one in. Jacob coos and grunts. His next dr's appointment is on the 20th so I'm dying to find out his weight, that way I can figure out what size diapers he is supposed to be in. The size one leaks after such a short amount of time. Pictured is size 2 and looks huge on him. I'd take the size 2 over changing the wet onesies anyday. Grandma Mitchell sent him a white blanket for his blessing so I'll post pictures of that soon. He is still sleeping a ton. His eyes are a blueish slate color. It's so fun to watch him and all of his facial expressions. I have to keep a close eye on his brothers or they'll smother him. He's such a good baby. We are so lucky to have him be in good health. We are counting our blessings everyday.

Computer time and Little Brian.

Computer time. The boys love playing on the computer. They look at pictures and point out who is who and what is what. Little Brian checks out the StarFall website and works on his letters.

Little Brian is such a sweet boy. The potty training process at the moment has been unsuccessful. I wanna pull my hair out. Two accidents in two days. argh. I'm trying to use a trip to see Mickey Mouse as motivation to get potty trained. The boys have been wearing their mickey ears from our 2009 trip. Hopefully the motivation works and no more pull ups. Brian is a great older brother. He tries to help teach Lucas how to get dressed and loves going outside. He is so fun and so smart.

Dad gave the two older boys haircuts. I didn't get a very good before shot since I had no notice ahead of time. Lucas watched his older brother go first so he knew what was coming. Dad explained to him what was happening and Lucas was a great sport. There were no tears, no need to tie him down, and no wiggling. I'm kinda sad cuz his cute baby locks are gone.
