Working at Night means Jay time during the Day

So I'm working a split shift for 2 weeks but that means that Mondays will be only Jay and I in the house. Today we didn't get into too much trouble (at least I'm not going to write to the world about it).

He can finally use the Fropper:




And he's ok at the truck:




Enjoy... when the 2nd baby comes I don't think anyone will have to update this thing.

Jay's Favorite Snack

Jay LOVES bananas. Just watch him eat it.

Clemson Game

Jay went to his first Clemson game today! We played Virginia and we won!! Here are some pictures and videos from the experience.

Here's the fam at the tailgate!

Clemson Cheer!



Later in the game.... Clemson scores!! Again!!


Jay sleeps! In his tiger costume, of course.

Walking... ok ok, Stepping

We can get a good 3 or 4 before he face plants! (He's ready for college!)






Just keeping everyone updated.

Is it really a blog if it's only pictures?

Well I guess this is an official "update" but it's just pictures again. July 4th weekend and we were in Clemson, SC with Karen's brother and some friends. Swimming, hiking, cooking out, watching fireworks = very nice weekend. Enjoy.

Blahlum blahlum blahlum was the "new trick" for the day.


Smiling all weekend, serioiusly, all weekend.

"So we hiked to a waterfall... and?" - Jay, he really said that right after this photo.

"I'm baby Jay Monster! ROAR!!!!"

The "Blizzard" of 2009

Well we finally got our one day of snow and it was at least enough to play in (3.5 inches). So we suited up the baby and went out to winter wonderland. Quickly we discovered the 'awesomeness' of our new yard, front and back, and how we'll have to keep a hefty supply of plastic sleds on hand for the next one of these great days. So enough text, on to the photos and videos!

With Mom's hat I'm ready to go!














One baby snow angel coming right up!















Not bad for my first try!



















Are you sure you don't want me to drive?





And that's the one day of snow for this season... and it came in March!?!?!

Two Months and... WAY behind!

Alright, the other two are sleeping and I have about 10 mins before I get to wake them up so here's some "scoop" since last time:

January 11th - Tom and Ali Hallman came down to spend a week with us and for Tom to baptize Karen and I.

Jay was happy -------------------------------->

They also helped Karen out IMMENSELY with laundry, food, relaxing, and rocking out with Guitar Hero World Tour.

We made a small "Brady Bunch" type photo that will be getting developed today (finally):



Jay's Great-Grandparents Cronin, Great Aunt Trisha, Great? / Second Cousin Christian, Great Aunt and Uncle Cronin, and Great "Aunt" Cindy Walsh are all visiting tomorrow for a cookout and baby puke catching contest. Jay will be hosting both events.

Karen's tutoring almost every day now which keeps her speaking spanish, teaching again, and allows her to interact with someone else besides our 12 lb SBJBBBH (Sweet Baby James Blue Berry Bobble Head courtesy of Aunt Morgan).

Time to wake them up with a battle cry from one movie that I can't wait to watch with my son: FREEEEEEDDOOOOOMMM!!!!!
