On a Saturday afternoon (while Cole was napping), Jake and Daddy took a hike up Ring Mountain.  We left our house on foot, hiked to the top, had a snack and walked back down.  It took us about 3 hours total.  Jake did a great job!





The family unit having a fun time on a foggy day at Muir Beach.  LOTS of digging and we got our feet wet too (everyone but Mommy that is)!


The boys got to have ice cream after a big dinner out on a Friday night.


The family unit at the daycare Valentine breakfast.

Jake and his classmates sang a couple of songs at the daycare parent/kid Valentine breakfast.  Jake had quite the performance.

The boys were very excited to see flowers from the bulbs that Grandma Kathy planted last year.

The boys couldn't get enough of this game.  Mommy records and Daddy fires away.  And they LOVE watching the videos in slow motion.



This is a pretty typical Thursday morning these days.

Cole was very fired up one morning at daycare when he realized he and teacher Elizabeth had the same shoes on!



Jake wanted to get his Dodgers shirt on once Cooper and Kylie grabbed their Giants gear.





The family unit went out for In N Out after the boys got haircuts.

Cole relaxing with his new favorite blanket.  The very same blanket Daddy used when he was Cole's age.  Thanks for keeping so many wonderful things for your kids Grandma Kathy!!!!

Jake on the computer at daycare.



Jake was getting some TV time while Cole helped Mommy cook dinner.

Jake likes to dry off by the heat of the fire after he takes a shower.



Jake's first official viewing of a Star Wars movie was A New Hope.  Jake already knew so many of the characters he was into it right away.  We watched about the first 20 minutes with about a half hour worth of pauses to ask questions.  He was breathing pretty hard when Darth Vader was getting mad.  It was awesome!


Cole got the tub all to himself now that Jake is a full time shower man.


The kids in Jake's class at daycare all made self portraits.  Jake was excited to show his off.


Jake getting some keyboard time at daycare.



Daddy and the boys grabbing some In-N-Out after the Discovery Museum.  This was Cole's first time eating a whole burger by himself - just like his big brother does no problem.










The boys and Daddy had a fun Sunday morning at the Discovery Museum.  Lots of fun things to do there.  Cole even took part in a Berkeley student's project on kids.
