Thanksgiving and Jake's b-day

We went to San Diego for Thanksgiving. We stayed with my brother and his family. It was sooo good to see them and have the family together for the holiday. Denise spent who knows how long making a fabulous meal that we all enjoyed. Also, since Tyce and Jake's birthdays were taking place, she made a spongebob cake and we had a little party - fun times! We also headed to Sea World and even went to the beach although I was freezing to death! But, my crazy boys (and my crazy brother) decided to get in the water. Bob and Branden went body surfing and boogie boarding, and Jake wanted a turn too. The kid was freezing, but I don't even think he noticed! Tyce, Jake and Alec had a great time playing together. What a great vacation we had!

I'm a slacker, and it's already been over three weeks since Jake's second birthday. We had a little birthday celebration on the big day (Dec. 1st). We took him to the dinosaur museum and were going to stop by McDonald's (his favorite restaurant - great taste, huh?) especially for the fries, but he fell asleep on the way home. When we got home, he woke up and Nana and Bampa (Grandma and Grandpa) came over, and we did the presents/cake thing. He had a blast watching Bampa ride his scooter! Uh, dad, be careful, I think the weight limit is like 60 pounds! He hasn't gotten much use out of his scooter yet, since he ended up breaking his arm the next day. He finally got his official cast put on Wednesday, and he may only need it on for three weeks - I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything looks good! He chose a green cast, and he loves it. He says it looks like a Christmas tree. And he loves the fact that people get to sign it. :) Here are a few pics of recent events, but not many. For some reason, I have very few pictures on this computer. I guess I should/could fix that...
