I took this picture in early june... so Jaydin is 5 months and Paige 4 ... it was really cute because she just wanted to hold him and cuddle... i took them to make Father's day card.

Jason and Jaydin, proud dad of two.

he is getting his first tooth... could feel it for the first time today 7.7.09... that puts him almost exactly two months behind Paige who got hers at 4 months old.

"the face" .. lol

while at Birch Bay, WA, i was walking back to the picnic tables and i heard a thud, turned and saw a crab flying through the air ... a seagull dropped him ... he was a pretty big crab so i am glad i went back and took a picture.

my mom making Jaydin fly at the Bellingham Airport... this airport was VERY small... it only had 2 gates :)

The last day we were in Washington :( ... i already miss the girls, it was a lot of fun and very nice to see all of them again.

At Whatcom Falls Park, WA ... Jaydin had his first swing ride along side of Nikki.

My mom me and JD at Whatcom Falls Park

San Juan Islands, Cattle Pt.

I sat Jaydin on the couch and he kept eating his feet which made Cameron laugh so hard ... it was really cute.

San Juan Islands, Friday Harbor ... we had a bite to eat and i put JD in a resturant high chair, he was so proud of himself :)

Mt. Baker in the rain

Larrabee State Park, WA

photo booth and jd

me and paige had a lil fun with the photo booth on our mac... LOL  ... some of the images can be pretty funny :)

i think this one is 'fish eye'

X-RAY setting

Jaydin decided to join the party :0)

this one is the mirror setting

Jaydin just started to eat baby food!!  just the oatmeal and rice mixes that have fruit in them, but he enjoys them ... although he does try and suck his thumb while i am feeding him, so i have to hold down his left had while he eats 

his FAVORITE toy is his giraffee that we call raffie!  he LOVES to suck on his tail ...

he is not the hugest fan of being on his tummy, but he is getting used to it... although with a great dane in the house he doesn't really get a lot of floor time... but he has mysteriously rolled over in his crib 4 TIMES now, but NOONE has seen him... we put him to bed on his belly and he has woken up on his back 4 times PLUS at grandma Stegehuis' he rolled over while her back was turned and the only one to see it was David (Jason's little brother who is 8) ... so i am trying to be patient with him, but i want to see him roll over SO bad... Paige was doing it by 3 months!!! it is driving me nuts!! :)

flashback

we brought zahn to the vet the other week and he weighed 125.7 lbs. (he is 1.5 years old)

he is starting to fill out a little more.
Genesis made it to 120 lbs and was 2 years old, but we think that she was a lil taller than zahn...  still cant believe its been over a year since we had to put her down.

we went to the GR Museum a few weeks ago and it was exactly the same as it was when me and jay went there when we were kids... the only reason we went was for the dinosaur exhibit because paige thinks they are cool.

Paige making a very cute a photo opportunity :)

DINOPAIGE!!!

Paige drew a dinosaur... i drew it with my finger on the chalkboard and she traced it, but it is still good 

chillin in the tub

our computer is so cool, in our picture program we can retouch/BLUR out parts that we dont want to see.  FOr instance, JD's lil baby boy parts and believe it or not, paige had chocolate all over her face before i touched it up :)  i think its pretty cool.

Jaydins first shoulder ride

Jaydin is still proudly sucking his thumb :)  and it is still very cute.

Jasons sister sarah tried out some spray hair gel out on Jaydin and we gave him a lil mowhawk, it is  a lil curly though :)

FLASHBACK 2005 ... courtney pushed paige over and crawled over her ... it was so funny and cute :)

Paige at about 6 months old ... SO ROLLY POLLY!

Paige at 3 months old

naked Paige at 2 months old.

naked JD at 2 months and 3 weeks :)

so cute

Paige helped me give Jaydin a bath a few days ago, she had a lot of fun helping, and he loved all of the attention from his sister.

i sat Jaydin on the couch and paige jumped next to him... looks like they are watching tv together :)

well i just got all of my kids back... i had gall bladder surgery on tuesday afternoon and everything went well... i am a little sore and VERY tired, but i am doing pretty good.  i am just happy to have my kids back :)

jason is so happy, the last three nights he got JD to fall asleep after i couldn't ... it's a big deal to him because JD is usually more fussy for him than he is for me.

he is changing every day it seems :)

he started laughing a week ago ... its so cute!

everyone is doing pretty good ... no really new news except i am having surgery to remove my gall bladder on march 10, so we are all just hoping that that goes well ... oh, i guess there is something, paige has developed an imaginary friend who is "her sister named paige, and she is the mean one" ... it is pretty funny the stories that she comes up with.
