some random pictures...of my boys!

WOW! Two years ago...Jacob was just about two weeks old here and Ethan was a week shy of 2

Does he look like his Daddy or what?! :)

Not sure why...but they were running around with tissue on/in their noses!! They thought they were pretty cute - I'd have to agree...

Ethan with his kitty...who on occasion lets him pet her. (Ignore the pile of clothes behind Jacob...someday I'll keep up)!!

One of Jacob's "comfortable" positions for nap time on the couch. More often than not his naps end up being 30 min. on the couch...otherwise he will sleep forever in his crib and not go to sleep at night! Here he slept for about 15 min. and then I woke him up to go play at Carmen's house.

Another couch nap...and big brother being so tender and loving. :)
At least he looks a little more comfortable here. :)

Ethan "checking himself out" in my bedroom mirror. I bought him these new pants and I guess my saying, "You look so handsome in your new jeans" got to his head. He is pretty handsome though!!! :) A mom can say that!!

Belly shots at 32 weeks!

Me at 32 weeks! The doctor says the baby is about 1 lb above average for 32 weeks...but I'm not surprised. I knew there was more weight in there!!! Still he doesn't think it will be huge - thankfully! We also found out today that it's a girl!!! So we're excited to know and I just had to buy something today.....

I found this cute little dress and shoes!! Just couldn't help myself. Having a girl is going to be dangerous for me!!! I also found this adorable quilt and it also came with a crib bumper, sheet and crib skirt!!! :) I should have never gone to a consignment sale the day I found out I'm having a girl!!!

Jacob is TWO!!!!

Jacob is two and I can hardly believe it!! Where did my baby go? He's been so excited about his birthday and has been practicing saying and showing he's two. He holds up his fingers and says, "mine two, almost"! Now he can leave off the "almost". :) We had a lot of fun celebrating. We sang Happy Birthday several times, including Jacob singing it to himself throughout the day. The boys and I went swimming, which was a lot of fun and something special for us to do (even though it was snowy and cold outside)!The boys sampling the cake! They both liked it better warm out of the oven without frosting...

It's beginning to look like a ball! For weeks Jacob has requested a baseball cake.

coming along....

Done! :)

Jacob comparing his ball with his cake and proudly showing me how old he is now!

I think he blew the candles out 3 or 4 times before we actually got the picture!
flying his new planes - with sounds!

Yummy!! Cake! We had a pizza dinner, but he wasn't interested in it once dinner actually rolled around. He was glad to eat his cake though. :)

Steelers sixth Superbowl Win!!!

We had a great time watching the Superbowl!!! Here is our "spread". Jacob LOVED that he could eat in the living room and at his own speed! We just knew it had to happen this year. It was Superbowl 43 after all and Ethan's favorite number is 43. Tim's favorite player is Polamalu, number 43!! It was meant to be!!! :)Daddy and his boys! Ready to cheer on their team! Jacob was excited about his corn dog!

...and Doritos and cheese dip!

Bear feeling the stress of the game...
the boys trying to make Bear feel better!
Aaahh!! Thank God. (Note the phone...Tim is on with his buddy Mike - another big Steeler's fan)

Yippy!!!! No overtime!!!!

The boys celebrating!

posing for the camera!!
