Happy Birthday Jeremy!

Happy Birthday Jeremy!
I can't belive you are TWO years old!




What happened to my little baby boy?
I look at Jeremy now and I can't believe he is so big!
He is definately a toddler now, a big boy! Not a baby anymore.

I miss my chunky little guy, so here are a few pics of how I still remember Jeremy...

Jeremy at his blessing. Such an angel!


My snuggly little pooh bear!


My chunkster! He could definately pack it away!




Always Grandpa's little helper!

And always getting into mischief! (well at least that hasn't changed!)


Yes, I really miss the first year. Not that this last year hasn't been a blast too! Its been pretty awsome building sand castles and really playing around!

Happy Birthday JJ! You are two and ready to take on the world! Go for it!
I can't wait to see what happens now. You take me on some crazy adventures and throw some awesome challenges at me.
I love every minute of it! And I love you!

Colorado

Ahhh, I miss Colorado! So peacefull and relaxing. Nothing to do but sit on the porch and enjoy the 70 degree weather and sceanery. It was so tranquill, watching the boys fish while I read my book. I can't remember the last time I was able to sit down and enjoy a good book.



We had a great family reunion with Bryan's family in this beautiful home. There was so much to do from fishing at the pond in the back yard to riding quads to simply hanging on the porch. What a great vacation!

Here is my little porch buddy and his older brother. Cody was such a snuggler and sleeper. Jeremy just can't stop kissing him. He was a big hit with his Grammy, aunts, and cousins. I barely got to hold him! ... except of course at about 3am when he would refuse to sleep!! But I love him anyway.


Here is Bryan teaching Jeremy how to fish. Unfortunately they didn't have any luck at the pond. Poor Bryan, all he wanted was to just catch one fish!


Maybe Jeremy and Papa will have better luck? Its just so sweet how much this kid loves his Papa! Anywhere Papa goes, Jeremy is running after him.


Well, Jeremy was able to finally get in touch with his feminine side on vacation. Any time his cousin dropped her baby doll, he'd pick her up. He would cuddle her, pat her back and give her kisses. Too cute! It must be the influence of a new baby in the house.

Not to worry to much though about Jeremy and his femininity. He is still a boy through and through. He loved riding around on the quads!

He especially loved riding with Riley. Jeremy holds on tight as Riley says "Look Dad! No hands!"
Ok, now if you have noticed there is a definate lack of Riley pictures. Not my fault! He was busy running around with the cousins, only checking in for meals and bed time. And besides I was busy relaxing on the porch watching to make sure Jeremy didn't go swimming.



Ok, now here is a quad that Jeremy just didn't want to get off. A quick ride around the block was just not enough! Common dad!
Yep, Colorado was a fantastic family vacation!
