Thought I would add some of the latest pictures, plus we got a new camera so we got lot's of new pics trying it out. Jacob also had his speech evaluation the other day and the therapist type lady was very pleased with his progress. He knows over 30 words now I would say, they don't always make sense, but he does seem to try to say them. She seemed very happy with that. Not too bad considering english is his second language.
Did we mention that Jacob loves baseball? or just about any sport involving balls, it's his favorite word. He's also very good at saying GO CUBS GO!! he says that every time he see's a baseball game on tv. You can also ask him his thoughts on the cardinals, and he will put his thumb down, stick his tounge out and say "spppppttttt" or something like that. I have to try to get that on video. We took him to the Battle Creek Bombers game on Sunday and after the game all the kids got to run the bases. He loved it.
Carie had her 3_th birthday yesterday and Jacob gave her Guitar Hero to play on the xbox. Something she wanted after playing it at our friends, and Daddy likes it too. Good deal all around.
Here is Jacob giving his take on the Blue Steel pose. ( see Zoolander for those you don't recongnize it.) Covered in Ketchup.
Here is Jacob working the phone with his agent.
Watch out girls
Jacob explaning how to use her new guitar
Yeah mommy, "You Rock"

Happy Birthday Mommy!!!!
Great seats, 6 bucks, or free if you come to the game late.
Running the bases






Here is a pic of Jacob at home playing after playing in the water
This is Jacob Sticking his finger up the Moose's nose
Here is Jacob sacked out in the truck in his favorite position.
We went to a bear ranch that raised rescued Black bears and Jacob got to pet a bear cub, Don't have a picture of the petting, but you get the idea

Here is Jacob driving Ethan around in Ethan's truck, it's a little more manly than the pink Barbie jeep, even if it is a Ford.
Jacob and Ethan in the bike trailer at Mackinaw Island. We took day trip there and biked around the island, 8 miles with all 3 kids. Abby in one trailer and Jacob in his and Ethan in a Bike Seat. Don't they look so happy together. This lasted all of about ten minutes with them riding together before they started pestering each other, mostly Jacob bothering Ethan.
Here is Jacob doing His I'm not ready to leave the beach yet routine. I'll just sit here, then you can't make me leave. Cute pic though with the Bridge in the Background. Longest Suspension bridge in the western hemisphere, 5 miles long. We Michiganders are very proud of our bridge.
Here all the boys on the boat ride to the island
This is pictures from my shortcut back to the cabin. Joe didn't like my roads, especially since his truck was only a week old. Gotta put some scratches and mud on it sometime. And as Chery asked him did you buy it to look at or are you going to drive it. Cheryl liked my shortcuts.
Here's the family in front of Thaquammen falls. (I don't know how to spell it)
Here is Ethan feeding Jacob raisins
Here is Carie with our new God Daughter Abby. She did very good on the trip, she went on the bikes on the boat, on Chris' shortcuts,
Carie and Jacob tubing.
