hi!

hi!

My Chicks

Alright, they aren't really chicks anymore...they are officially chickens. And me and mom-mom are pretty sure one of them is a rooster. It's about twice the size of the other two...and it taunts the dogs. Oh well. Maybe he'll be a quiet rooster?

I am going to Grandma Susan's house today to play, and then mom-mom and daddy will meet me there later tonight for a party! Today is Grandpa Ken's birthday, and we're going to mom-mom's birthday tonight, too. And then....tomorrow is Christmas Eve and we have MORE parties! What a fun time of year this is...

Only two more days!!!

Love, J

Little Grouch

I'm a little grouchy this morning. Mom-mom keeps laughing at me because I am getting upset about silly things. I cried because the Christmas tree had not been properly illuminated before my arrival in the living room this morning. I creid a little because I called Obi and Chewy came. I wanted OBI. And, mom-mom wouldn't let me open the door on my Christmas calendar and have candy for breakfast. No wonder I'm grouchy.

(Editor's note: We were originally trying to put a grouchy Jacob video here, but it was taking way too long to upload. We started at 10:30 this morning...it's now 11:40 and it was not done. Sorry.)

So, mom-mom and I are making carmel corn today. I even got to lick the spoon! See?

We have heard from everyone in Buffalo about all of the snow. And nope, we're NOT sorry that we wished for it (sorry Uncle Brian). I have been pointing out SNOW to mom-mom on tv, in pictures, everywhere I see anything white and fluffy...so I can't wait to go sledding and play in it! Mom-mom is really excited about our trip, too. She talked to Uncle Mick last night and after that, she decided she was officially as excited as a little kid about coming home for Christmas.

Only 3 more days!!!!!!

Shopping with Daddy

Daddy is home with us today, and he said he wants to get his Christmas shopping done. Me and mom-mom are done with all of our shopping because we did NOT want to have to go to a mall, or any store, really, til after Christmas. But, since daddy thinks he needs our help, we have to go with him. Oh boy!

Here are a few pictures of me playing with daddy this morning. We might consider these to be the "before shopping" pictures...I doubt there will be much smiling "after!"




And we heard a rumor about a big snow storm in Buffalo! That is very exciting news. I've got my boots all ready for sledding!

Have a great weekend! We love you all!

Love, J

PS - 6 more days!!!!!

A New Choo Choo Train!

I got a new choo choo train last night! It was an early Christmas present from my friend Carson. I'm not sure how she knew that I would LOVE a train, but I've been playing with it non-stop since it came out of the package!

Here are just a few pictures of me playing this morning.



And a picture of me modeling a warm winter hat mom-mom made for someone!


Mom-mom and I are going to finish up just a few more Christmas presents today. In case you don't already know this, Christmas is just one week away...and that means I will go on my big trip and see everyone back in Buffalo in just 7 days!!!

Love, J

Playing in the Rain

As a Southern California boy, I don't get to see a lot of rain. So, when it actually does rain, it's pretty exciting! It rained very hard yesterday, and while mom-mom was wiping off the dogs' muddy feet, I scooted out the door into the rain! It was lots of fun to stomp in puddles and dump the water out of all of my toys.

Here is a picture of me making my "choo choo train" in the yard. This is my favorite thing to do lately. As long as I have three things, ANY things, I line them up and then they are a train!


Look how wet I got! Since it was actually pretty cold out, mom-mom only let me play for a little while before I had to come in and have some hot hoho.


And a picture of me and my dogs, just because...


I'm going to play with Grandma Susan today and mom-mom is going to finish up her Christmas shopping.

Have a good day!

Love, J

PS - Only 9 more days til I come to visit!!! (And by the way, mom-mom and daddy are coming with me. We talked to Grampa Mike yesterday and he said it seemed as if no one knew that...hmm.)

Choo choo Trains!

I went to the BEST PLACE EVER on Sunday with mom-mom and daddy. We went up to Del Mar Fairgrounds and saw a model train expo. There were trains EVERYWHERE. I loved it. I kept asking for "more choo choo trains?" til we saw all of them. There were even quite a few Thomas engines. It was lots of fun.

Here are a few pictures of me from the train show. Not very great pictures - we were too busy enjoying our day to worry about pictures!




I hope you are all ready for my visit - it's coming up in just 10 days!!!

Love, J
