Happy Easter!

Hi Everyone,

First of all we wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy St. Patrick's Day. It was also Daddy's birthday, so Happy Birthday to Daddy. Like my sign, Daddy?

"KISS ME! It's my first St. Paddy's Day!"










"I Drink...Until I Pass Out!"











Mommy and Me looking festive.







Happy St. Paddy's Day!







Happy Birthday Daddy!







Here I am taking a nap with my sailor shirt on. I might be like Daddy some day.






Then, I got a visit from my Uncle Nate, Aunt Kim, and cousins Teresa and Nicole. They came up from Texas. This will be the only time I get to see them since my uncle is in the Army and they are moving to Germany this fall for 3 years. Uncle Nate is going to PTA school in the Army and has to be stationed in Germany.

Cousin Teresa and Me.






Uncle Nate and Me again.
There was a picture of cousin Nicole and me, but not sure where it went.


Happy Easter!! My Grandma and Grandpa Bradley are up for the weekend and so I have been having a good time with them. I got lots of baskets for Easter.

This is what the Easter Bunny brought me at my house.






This is what was dropped off at Uncle Nate and Aunt Kim's house, so they sent it to me!




The Easter Bunny also came to my Grandma and Grandpa Bradley's house downstate, so they brought this all up for me. I made out pretty good. I have 2 teeth, but can't eat the candy yet. So Mommy will have to help.


Here are 2 pics of Me with everything I got!! Anyone is welcome to come and help me eat the candy!!







Hope you all had a Great Easter!!

Hi Everyone,

Well it's been a bit since our last entry. On Feb. 17, I took Jacob over to Marquette to visit with my long time friend Nancy and her 15 month old son Michael. This was the first meeting the boys had, so we got a few snapshots of them.





On our way back, we went into Houghton and helped welcome back Pete's cousin Jeremy who had been in Iraq for about a year or so and will now be in Washington until he has to go to Afghanistan. We didn't end up getting a picture of Jacob with Jeremy that day, but here is his twin brother Jason, who came in from Texas. He is also a soldier with the Army as well and will eventually be going overseas to Iraq.

Here are just a couple shots of Jacob enjoying dinner time.









Here Jacob is with cousin Jeremy and Uncle Jared. They came over to visit as well as clean off the garage roof again and bring in some firewood into the basement for the wood stove. That was very nice of them. Jacob had a good time with the boys. Jeremy leaves on March 9 to go to his base in Washington.


This day marks Jacob's 5 months old. He loves his exersaucer.



Here is Jacob with Grandpa Tormala. We spent a few hours over there for sloppy joes and such since cousin Jeremy wasn't able to have sloppy joes while in Iraq and he missed them.
Finally, here are some photos of Jacob and his t-shirt and hat he got from Uncle Nate. He is also a soldier in the Army stationed out of Fort Hood in Texas. The t-shirt says "My uncle is a soldier. Fort Hood, Texas USA" This is the first time wearing it, but unfortunately may be the last since Jacob is growing so fast out of his clothes.
