April FUN... 2009

Judd holding his batting helmet on by sticking his fingers in the holes... funny boy. Okay, so at the bottom of this post you can see a video clip of him hitting... be patient - he gets the fourth ball. :) You can also hear the lovely Amarillo wind!

Praying before the game

Jake at his Cowboy program at school. This was when they were square dancing around the cafeteria!

Getting ready for the program to start!

Judd decided he needed batting gloves. He kind of has an obsession with gloves of all kinds. James told him he would get him some when he got a hit in a game... and well, he did. James paid up. Judd was happy!

Monopoly Fun... Jake and I love this game. James and Judd just indulge us occasionally. Gran gave this to Jake for his birthday (with a little encouragement from me) Star Wars Monopoly... So Fun!

Grandma and Grandpa come over for Easter Sunday: lunch, egg hunt, and Monopoly. :)

Highlights of February Fun - 2009

The annual birthday picture by the chair and Dapper Dan
Jake is 8

Jake loves his birthday presents!

Jake is a tree for his Destination Imagination skit.

Julie goes to Las Vegas with friends from High School - some are MIA in this photo!

Okay... so it takes FOREVER to upload a video... This was Jake's 8th birthday party. :) We had it at Paramount Baptist Church in the Play Structure and Game Room.

The haircut...

Okay... I had to go back and get some good pictures of their beautiful hair... I love it - long and shaggy!

Making a gingerbread train... see their cute hair!

And... today... Jake - "Mom I want my hair really short and spikey."
Me - "hmmm... we'll see."
Judd - "I want my hair short and spikey, too." Me - very sad... very very sad... but trying to be a good mom... you know, gotta pick your battles! I should have fought this one. Of course they are still the cutest boys ever... but that pretty hair, ALL GONE! hmph! (not to mention that they look WAY TOO OLD!)

Christmas with the cousins...

Sonya - Susan - Shannon - Cale on Christmas Eve!

Grandpa - Grandma - Shannon

LOTS OF COUSINS!

JUDD's birthday progression

This is Judd's 2 year old picture. We always take a picture on or very close to their birthdays in the same chair with Dapper Dan (James' old toy) and we always had Millie in Jake's pictures and just a few of Judd's. She was my sweet little yorkie. She died in 2005 at 12 years old. She was a joy. :)

Judd turns 3 years old... time is flying! Jake with Ernie and Judd with Hippo and ni-nee. That is his little silky thing that he still sleeps with and he started calling his "night-night" before he was 2 and then he shortened it to "ni-nee."



Judd turns 4!

Judd's 5th birthday dressed in his spiderman costume.

Judd turned 5 on Sept. 25th. WOW... it just goes too fast. I remember the day he was born and being so thankful to God for his perfect health. I am blessed beyond measure for the these two amazing boys and their sweet, wonderful dad. :)
