Fun Catching Up

We have been having such an amazing time lately in all of our adventures that I have not had the time to catch up on the blog for a while.  I had these fun pictures, some from Thanksgiving and then of course, the ones everyone is waiting for...pictures of the boys first trip to Disneyland.  I will try and hurry, I promise.  :)  But these boys have been having so much fun.  AJ is such a little boy now, getting into trouble, climbing everything (which also includes falling from everything), starting to talk, learning how to "pound it," and even trying new things like peanut butter.  :)  Jake is doing great, his verbal is exploding (so yes he tells us some very funny things and even helps us drive by telling us if the light is red or green and if we should stop or go.  hehe  He has taken more swim lessons which he adores (will start again in Feb), and still really loves going to AWANA at church.  He is loving that his brother is getting older and that they can play more, jake still wants to rough house with him, which AJ is not ready for, but they have a blast being loud and running all over the house.  :)  Well onto these pictures so I can start uploading the Thanksgiving batch.  :D

Is our little AJ cute or what?!?!

Jake in his panda hat...he pulls it off so well ;)

AJ and his step.  For the longest time this was AJ's favorite place to go.  He would grab a book or a toy and just sit there happily.  Now he has discovered how much fun it is to climb the stairs...so there is a temporary gate up.

This was taken a moment later...Jake saw a picture was being taken and wanted to be a part of it.  :)

Swim lessons!!!  Luckily they have indoor ones that go all year, so we can keep Jake at it.  Gotta get this fearless boy some swimming skills.  Still working on the early skills...but he will get there.  He really improved a lot in this class.

Big step here...Jake putting his face in the water without jumping in.  :D

Great kicking motivation...get him to "swim" after a duck

OK, so I admit this picture did not turn out at all...but look at the air our Jakey Bear gets in his jumps!!!  His teachers were VERY impressed.

Until Thanksgiving ;)
