August 2010

August is another birthday month for us. Jacob Hanson Booth turned 2yrs old on the 5th...He is such a big kid now. He talks alllllll the TIME!!! He is worse than his sister. He is in constant competition with her. So much so...that during our recent dr visit he insisted on doing everything the same way she did it. Including getting a hearing and vision test...which apparently they don't normally do for 2 yr olds. Not my lil man, he sat there like a professional patient. They are thriving of course can't you tell by the pictures haha. I was told by the dr. that Avery could very well be as tall as 5'9" in adulthood. Geez, I hope that is helpful when it comes to college scholarships. Next month is a big month for Avery...she starts preschool!

His traditional birthday cupcake given on his exact birthdate.

He really enjoys it.

His big birthday present and he was a natural at it.

Smiling and loving his singing birthday card from Uncle Stan and Aunt Sovath. Of course I sing the song in my sleep too (yeah thanks again Stan and Sovath!)

Talking to his many family members who called throughout the day to sing to him.


Ok...is everyone happy now...my son has appropriate imaginary play clothes for a boy. Of course he still likes the princess dresses.

His dinosaur cake made by his wonderful mommy for his party!

While we were singing he blew the candle out before the song was done...he must have been singing it faster in his head!

My lil michaelangelo...she is constantly drawing or coloring and is a bit OCD over it. Notice she doesn't go out of the lines and the colors are painstakingly picked.

Yes, we are sorta happy to say he is using the big potty. He is actually doing really well. I am not really gung ho about it. I figure maybe next month or something. But he got big boy underwears from his Aunt Margie.

Cape May 2010

Well, we ventured down to Cape May again this year. It was perfect weather. Although the beach water could have been a bit warmer...it was way too cold for me. All in all the vacation was good, minus the daily Avery temper tantrums it would have been perfect. But I can't complain...at least there was no laundry, dog poop to clean up, and dinner to cook for a whole week. I will take daily temper tantrums as long as I am at the beach too :)

I took this picture waiting for breakfast...I loved the way it looked with the colorful chairs.

My handsome guy enjoying the sand...notice I didnt say ocean, since he wasnt a fan of the water

Unless it was enclosed in a pool of course!
Hmmm, I guess I should have seen the attitude coming when I took this pic.

She was digging to china so she told me.

I caught this one just in time...notice Jake checking out the girl...hmm notice his daddy looking all proud.

Poppy and Daddy enjoying a relaxing vacation

Grandma made this outfit especially for her to wear at Cape May...and she loved it!

She takes great profile pics!

That is his way of saying"Cool Dude" he hasnt quite figured out it's thumbs up not pointers up. Oh well, he is still so damn cute!

We all decided to take turns pushing Grandma this vacation...even the young ones had to pitch in.

Apparently, he figured Grandma had the right idea and joined her for the ride.

We were eating dinner and noticed a cat hiding in the reeds...so they were waving to him!

It was a long day at the beach and pool.

I just had to show this pic....#1 beach rule is....DO NOT FEED THE SEAGULLS! They must have been from NY haha!!

The wind in your hair....the sand in your toes...that is a true Jersey Shore Girl!

And this is a true Jersey Shore Guy...knock out cold after a day of doing nothing!

On our last day we went to the zoo...we find its a perfect way to end the vacation. The kids really like it.

Bears, monkeys, alligators...nope ducks, they wanted to look at ducks...geez!

Avery was our very speedy tour guide...we weren't allowed more than 2 minutes at each exhibit.
