Tyler found all new (old) toys playing at Grandma and "Batchu"'s house. One of his favorite toys the last day or two was this train whistle. He has always loved trains so he was thrilled.
Jacob and Popa. Jacob is Great-Grandchild #3 of 4. We were lucky enough to meet up with Popa and mom and dad Crooks while we were visiting so Cal. Granny and Grandpa were heading out for a cruise to celebrate their 31st (I think?) anniversary. 
Tyler had to go swimming while we were there. It wasn't too cold- but cool enough that we could only handle swimming in the spa- with it warmed up :) Tyler loved spending time with Grandpa showing off his excessive bravery in water.
This cute little Tyler is so excited to go outside. This was one of the first weeks he was potty training so he felt he didn't need a swim diaer either. He did awesome but his trunks almost fell off! 
Great-Grandma Anita and Tyler on the fireplace. We actually enjoyed a few fires while we were there. We actually got Tyler to sit still for one second to take a picture- miracle!
This was actually from before our trip. Jacob still isn't crawling, but he gets where he wants to go...and where he doesn't want to go. His favorite thing lately is to get stuck under the couch or entertainment center. Classic face, "aren't you going to help me?"
Up on the hands and knees but not going the right direction...yet.
While in California we got to visit my friend Claire and her little guy Jaxson. Jaxson and Jacob are only 4 days apart. This was a day that I almost killed Tyler because he went in to the room while Jake was sleeping, turned on the light and started playing...really?! I was so frustrated. Jake's morning nap is usually his only good one and it was interrupted...hence the really happy face he's making at the end of our play date. Better luck next time!
I think Ihave a problem. I make my boys match...and I like it! Tyler is usually the one who asks to match actually. How can I resist? They both loved spending time with Grandpa. Tyler got special time when he was tiny...now it's Jacob's turn. Grandpa could always get a smile out of him.
We spent one morning down at Newport Pier attempting to get a good Christmas picture. Poor boys both woke up with runny noses and, you can't tell but it was way windy and cold. They did pretty well and it wouldn't have been possible without Grandma there to be my "second shooter".
Tyler loved seeing the ocean again. I love these pictures with natural light. Makes me wish I knew was I was doing a little more. This pier is where we had our engagement pictures taken 5 years ago...almost to the day.
I love these eyes. What a sweet little face. Jacob tried to be good...he really did. We'll see if we get cards out. If we don't then we'll post the "real" picture soon.
