Silas is 2!!!

Our little guy is now 2 years old! He turned 2 on October 22, and we celebrated by going to the park down the street form our house thats right on the lake and has a nice sandy beach which Silas loves. We BBQ'd and brought a fire pit and roasted marshmallows with Mark, Karen, and some friends that live in our neighborhood. Silas had a great time.

We were also able to visit all our family and friends in California at the beginging of October and have a little Birthday get together there as well!

Its officially fall and all the leaves are changing and the weather has been beautiful, so Saturday Jake and I packed a lunch and headed up to the mountains to spend some "family time". We found a spot on the river for Silas to play in and that is where we spent pretty much the majority of the time, the original plan was a hike but he was having too much fun throwing rocks and watching leaves race down the river.

We finished out the night by carving our pumpkin, and snuggling on the floor watching a movie. And that was how Silas spent his first day as a 2 year old!

It's been awhile.....

So it has been a few months since our last update but a lot of exciting things are taking place out here in our neck of the woods.

First of all for those of you who don't know we are expecting our second little bundle of joy. The little one is due April 9, 2010. So I am about 4 months and hopefully the sickness is behind me, and the motivation/energy will return as well! We are all excited and can't wait to meet him or her.

Another exciting thing is Jake is "building" his first house! We have a lot that we bought a couple of years ago and we decided to build a spec house on it. So far things are going really well for him the framing and roof are done as well as the electrical and plumbing. He is enjoying what he is doing a lot, and Silas enjoys going to see daddy and get to ride the tractors and play in the mud!
