Jake turns Two










Winter in Ogden 2008

We went up to Ogden after Christmas and got to test out our tubing skills and our new snowshoes. I was surprised at how well Jake did in the snow, the cold didn't seem to bother him at all. I little carrying from dad never hurts either as they trekked up and down the hill. We luckily found a smaller tube hill for the kids to go down and Jake just wanted to lay in the snow and eat it. Fine with us I suppose.




Tube Hill 2008

We always new a big steep hill like this would one day come in handy for the kids instead of just a danger. Jim and dad were great to do all the work for us too. The boys helped pat down the curve to make sure we wouldn't crash into the wall. You can't forget to make a snowman when its this nice outside either. Jake was all about helping and as soon as the picture was taken and all was well he was ready to push that snowman back to the ground.




Hawkins Family Reunion 2008

The cabin is good for lots of things and just being silly is one of Jake's specialities. Grandpa always knows just how to tease and be silly too.



Hawaii and Jake

We went to Maui in November of 2007 and Jake had a great time. He was pretty good on the flight over. We had a hard time getting him to sleep at first and had to give him his standing bounce to get him to sleep but it was so much fun. He seriously ate so much sand that he pooped straight sand one day and had the absolute worst diaper rash I have ever seen. I couldn't figure out what was wrong until we checked it out. We let him fly free the rest of that day to help cure the rash. On this day we were in Kihei at the beach and dug Jake a hole with a big umbrella to shade him and he was happy to just sit there and play. 




Three and Six Months

This first picture is of Jake at about three months old. Those big eyes just melt my heart! Jaxon was always so good to Jake, willing to help hold him and play with him. The second picture is Jake at 6 months old right after I shaved off that cute mohawk hair of his.

About 8 months old in November

Singin in the Rain

We just couldn't resist this summertime monsoon! The boys had a great time and so did we. It was so nice to have Grandpa and Grandma Squires there. You couldn't wipe the smile off Jake's face. He was thrilled to be able to splash and get all wet! He especially like chasing the boats down the gutter.





Many Faces of Golf

If there is one thing Jake has been known for since he was a baby it is his many faces. Most particularly is his mean furrowed eyebrow scowling face which is pictured below. Jake and I didn't have as much patience for the game of golf that day and decided to go for picture fun instead. We did get his golf swing though as requested by dad.

Fourth of July 2009
The kids were so excited to be in the parade and ride their bikes. Grandma Burgess only had 3 clown outfits though and Jake really felt sad because he wanted to be there with everyone. We painted his face like a clown and big prego me walked the whole way with him. He did so awesome, that was a super long way to ride his bike and I didn't have to carry him at all.
