I am dedicating my dancing today to the King of Pop. Rest in Peace, MJ.

Have a great weekend!

Chatty Cathy

Just another day at home. This is what I'm like when I'm quietly concentrating on something and NOT talking too much.



I hope you have a great day!

Stinker

Remember the post yesterday with a picture of me sitting on the floor eating Lucky Charms? Here is what followed...

Mom-mom went to get dressed, and came back to find me scraping the frosting off of the cinnamon rolls I had helped myself to. Since I had already made a huge mess of myself, she let me continue while she went to the bathroom.


Sneaky guy that I am, I finished all of the cinnamon roll frosting, closed up the box, and put them back on the counter. THEN, I helped myself to the box of danishes that were up there. I really liked the lemon ones.

And would you believe that I still at a big lunch after all of this? Mom-mom says I must be growing.

Here is a picture of me from this morning. I thought I was being VERY funny because I would not look at mom-mom when she was taking the picture.

What trouble can I get into today? Hmmm...

Fathers' Day Fun

Yesterday was Fathers' Day. Mom-mom and I let daddy sleep in and then we made him breakfast in bed. I drew a special picture for him, too.

After breakfast, we headed over to Clairemont High School to watch daddy play tennis with Grandpa. Uncle Brett and Aunt Sarah played, too.

Here are a few pictures from our morning...





And this is a picture of me from this morning. Mom-mom was just not fast enough with the Lucky Charms today, so I took matters into my own hands.

Now we're off to the store for dog food and then we're going to the park. It's too nice out to stay home!

Love, J

Jake-ography

I know that we usually post pictures OF me, but today we're going to try something a little different. Mom-mom let me take some pictures with her camera, so today's post will be pictures BY me. Quite impressive, if I do say so myself! Interesting perspective from about 30 inches off the ground...






Today is Friday, June 19th. If you are a regular reader of this silly page, it's likely that you already know mom-mom has a doctor's appointment this afternoon and we should find out if I'm having a brother or a sister!

(We will not, however, be posting that information here. Aunt Kelly ruined it for everyone. Since she apparently does not think it's fun to know if babies are boys or girls, she will not be finding out if OURS is a boy or girl. I will call, text, or email with the news soon...and if you don't hear from us and want to know, just email mom-mom at eholko@san.rr.com!)

Hope you have a GREAT day!

Love, J

Another Wednesday

Since we are always in kind of a hurry on Wednesday mornings, here are just a few pics mom-mom took of me playing at the park on Monday.

"I was playing quietly with the sand on the table."

"Some little girl decided to play with me."


"Seriously? Did she just do that?
"

Playing with someone else's trucks is so much more fun.

"Mom-mom, I'm gonna press the button......"

We are off to swimming. Have a good day!

Who Needs It?

Remember that nice ben mom-mom and daddy got me?

Here is what what mom-mom found yesterday when I got up from my nap...


Mom-mom and I are off the the fair now with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Nancy and Uncle Paul! Should be fun!

Love, J

Big Boy


Look what mom-mom and daddy got for me this weekend!

Mom-mom thought it would be better to get me a new bed now, rather than waiting for the new baby to get here and take mine away from me. I love sleeping in it! Daddy says it looks like a midget lives in our house now.

And, just like when I was at Gramma Jojo's house and I slept in a big boy bed, when I wake up I just quietly knock on the door so mom-mom knows to come and get me. I am such a good boy...

And, though I don't have any pictures of this yet, I got to visit with my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Paul yesterday! Uncle Paul is my Gramma Susan's brother, and he and Aunt Nancy rode a motorcycle all the way here from Ohio! We had a little picnic here at our house yesterday and I got to meet them for the first time. We had such a nice afternoon!

I hope everyone else had a good weekend, too!

Love, J

Camping Video

Our friend Ali made a video presentation of our camping trip. Here it is!
Enjoy!

Chatting

Not much going on in our house this morning. I am so good at sharing things that I shared my cold with mom-mom, so we're having another lazy morning.



Have a good weekend!

Singing in the Rain

Alright, fine...it's not actually raining. But it IS cloudy.



Mom-mom and I are both a little tired today, so we're planning to sit on the couch in our pajamas for a while this morning.

Hope you're having a great day!

Love, J

Fluffy Chicken

Mom-mom and I went to get our new chicken yesterday! She's only 9 weeks old and is still in the "awkward" stage...but we think she's going to be very cute.

I got to give her a name. When mom-mom asked me what we should call the baby chicken, I had three suggestions. The first was Baby Molly (mom explained this name was already taken), then Baby Chicken (an acceptable choice, though not terribly creative), and then I came up with Fluffy! Mom-mom didn't even know I knew that word, but it sure does seem like a good name for this little girl! So Fluffy it is!





And in case you are wondering, Dorothy (the tan chicken) likes her, Betty (the black chicken) does not like her so much, and Chewy is pretty sure she's a piece of stuffing from one of his stuffed animals and wants to eat her.

Mom-mom and I will be on guard to keep her safe til she gets a little bigger!

Have a good day!

Love, J

Just a Wednesday Morning...

Mom-mom thinks I grew up over night. Don't I look like a big boy?



We are going to swimming lessons today, and after that me and mom-mom are going to drive up to get a new chicken! Mom-mom and I have been trying to decide what kind we wanted, and we decided we needed to have a Silkie. Last night, Mom-mom was looking on Craigslist for a big boy bed for me, and just happened to see a listing for a Silkie hen! Very exciting...

This is what she should look like when she gets a little older. We'll post her actual picture tomorrow!

Have a great day!

Love you all,
J

Haircut

I was getting a little shaggy, so mom-mom gave me a haircut this afternoon.

Here I am BEFORE...

...and here I am AFTER!



Daddy got a haircut, too, but we didn't take pictures of him.

Have a great day!

Love, J

Camping Trip

We went camping last weekend! I had a great time. The rules of camping in our house are this: eat whatever you want, whenever you want, and get as dirty as possible. I am an excellent rules-follower.

Here are some pictures of our trip. Mom-mom didn' take nearly enough pictures, so you won't see everyone wwho come along, but I had a great time playing with Aunt Saran, Uncle Darren, Ali, Uncle Brett and Kim. Chewy and Obi even got to come!








I hope everyone had a great weekend, too!

Love, J
