Penelope and Jacob's Morning Part 2

Morning for PJD and JMD

Jacob loves his new soccer goal!

Michiana Adventure Boot Camp For Women

Yesterday was a nasty flashback to 5th grade for the President's Fitness something or other. We had to run a mile in 5th grade. (And subsequent grades) And yesterday, I had to do the same. Again, timed. But this time, I didn't have mom's boss (whatever doctor at the time) write me a note to get out of it. I ran a mile in 13 mintues 19 seconds. Not bad for never working out.

Today wasn't that great either. 5 laps (each one being 1/4 of a mile) with 35 sit ups between laps. I didn't quite make it all the way, but I certainly get an A for effort. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Although, I'm not really complaining because I don't mind doing it all. The only thing I mind is getting up super early. But, it's only 4 weeks long, and by then hopefully I'll LOVE it and want to do it no matter what. Here's hoping! :)

Although, Penelope woke up at 5:15 today, just after I left. So I'm sure Michael doesn't love that I'm not there. Good thing he loves me! Right???

Jacob helps to unload the washer...or he's trying to get in. Either way, it's cute :)

Someone loves to play Peek-A-Boo with ANY fabric, including clean laundry!

On her birthday - 1 year old! :)

Fighting the high chair...sleep...or food. Sleep wins!

Did I mention the projection room with 7 surround speakers?

Tall enough for mom's Christmas tree :)

Office

Our "office" - built in shelving.

The new house! We get it on June 23rd. We're literally counting down the days!

Yeyow Stool Bus!

"Yook Yacob - Yeyow Stool Bus!!!" translates to:

"Look Jacob - Yellow School Bus!!!"

BFF

Mason (almost 3) and Jacob (almost 2.5) at a pumpkin patch.

Penelope the Ham

Yup - she's a ham too! :) Here's her "1 month" portrait.

Jacob's most recent pic. (DURING a session, he just HAD to have his picture taken even though we have PAYING clients!)

I'm attempting to add recent pics, but blogspot is being difficult. . . will try again soon.

Perfect Picture

I'm so cute - what else IS there to say?

Me & My Great Uncle John

Boy...he's tall!

What a cute TUSH!

I've got such a cute one - here I am at the beach while on vacation in Minnesota. I decided to go swimming in my pajamas, so mom just got me naked. I liked it too much to change. It was a nude beach anyway...well, maybe just a "diapers not required" beach. Hmm......

MMMMM....Suckers

So, this was SUPPOSED to be Daddy's sucker, but I saw it and HAD to have it. It barely fit my mouth, but mmmmm...it was SO yummy.

My New Wheels

Wanna ride, baby? I've got room for two, er um, maybe one and a half, in my new wheels. Grandma Graf spiffed it up when she got it from her neighbor's garage sale. Great find, huh?

I love ice cream

Take me to OINK'S any day and I'll eat it all - even when it's not mine! I LOVE ice cream!

Me, Mom, Dad, and ... Uncle Dan???

Yeah, that's us at the beach. Uncle Dan (he lives behind us) is holding me up behind mom and dad. I was such a stinker that I wouldn't stay in the picture by myself. But I sure did pose pretty cute!

My Great Grandma Loves Me...

She loves me so much that the keeps this little rocker in her living room just for when I visit - that way I can eat my bananas, drink my milk, and watch TV all in "Jacob Sized" furniture. My great granny foo foo is the bomb.

Beach Buddah

I LOVE the beach...and as you can see, I realized I love my belly button too. I really love to put sand in it. Mom loves it when I do that too. I'm so cute.

My 1st Birthday

Me and my 1st Birthday Party - with bib, cake, AND crown. Notice the cake in between my toes. I love cake.

Me & Grandma O'Connor

This was right after Grandma shaved her head. I finally have MORE hair that somone! I love you grandma!

I love my crackers!

Enough said!

Daddy's a good jumper!

Daddy was helping Mommy set up her lights at one of the dances she photographed. I was already in bed when they took this picture!

I can climb stairs!

Guess what I can do?! I can climb stairs! Here, I'm showing how good I am at climbing up the living room stairs and then crawling to the kitchen! EEK!

Mommy & Daddy took me to the Field Museum

We had a super healthy lunch at McDonald's. I really like the french fries the best.
Then we went to the "underground" exhibit, where we shrunk to the size of inches. See - I'm only 1/4 inch tall!
