Mardi Gras

Our town held some weekend festivities for Mardi Gras this past weekend. So, we took Jake to the parade on Sunday. It was raining, but we still had a lot of fun! Jake was a little tired (as you can tell in the pictures) since the parade didn't start until his usual nap time. He seemed to really enjoy it though (and doesn't his haircut look so cute!):

World's Biggest Snowman

These pictures were actually taken the same morning as the pictures I posted in the last blog. It is amazing how quickly the snow melted when the sun came out. But before it was completely gone, Jason and Jake had fun making the World's Biggest Snowman:

The "ice cream" break:




It was a great morning enjoying the snow. A little different than this past weekend's snowstorm that brought a 3 day power outage along with it!



Here are some pictures of Jason and Jake sledding down the hill during the power outage this past weekend. It was a little harder getting out in the snow this time, knowing that you couldn't go in and take a hot shower afterward! Good thing Jason didn't seem to mind, because Jake loved that he took him sledding for the first time:






The snow was a lot of fun, but we're kind of hoping it's done for the season! It is so nice to have the power back on!!

More Snow!

Wow! The snow seemed to let up by Friday night, so we were really surprised to wake up to this on Saturday morning:




Jake absolutely loved playing outside in all this snow. He really is at a great age to enjoy it- he could have stayed out in it all day! Just thought I would add some scenic pictures as well, because it was just so beautiful:





Amazing- just like a Winter Wonderland! And here was the view from the front and back of the house:

Snow Day

A lot of snow just came our way- here we are enjoying it yesterday! These frog rain boots I just got for Jake really came in handy for this weather. He doesn't seem to mind that they are two sizes too big- in fact, he practically hasn't even taken them off since he got them:

Happy Valentine's Day

This past Friday, Jake celebrated Valentine's Day with his preschool class. Here is one of the Valentine's cards that Jake helped make for the other little kiddos in his class:


And here are the cute little Valentine's he received from them:



And today....he had a "Super Jake" Valentine's Day. He had fun flying around the house wearing his cape- too cute!





Hugs and Kisses little guy- love you! Hope you all had a very Happy Valentine's Day- we love you all so much!
