Winners of the Caption Contest!

There are 3 winners...1 for the first picture and a tie for the second picture. These are all very close friends to me and my family!

For the first picture...KRISTEN! Here is the Picture and the Caption.
"If I had a purple crayon, I'd create my OWN world up in here!"

Why she won... well here's a picture of Harold from the book "Harold and the Purple Crayon"... notice the resemblance of Harold and Jacob above! I seriously to get this book...I love it and Jacob looks just like Harold! It's so funny!

A little about Kristen... I've known Kristen for something like 12 years (maybe 11). She is like a sister to me. She has been a steady friend. I miss her, but I'm glad that I'm only 4 hours from her now! She has cleaned my teeth...she's a dental hygienist. She is a true woman of God and has unwavering faith it's inspiring. Our favorite thing to do together other than talk is anything that requires creativity...recently it's been make earrings. I think Kristen is great and am extremely thankful and blessed to have her as a friend.


For the second picture is a tie...I just couldn't decide... RYAN and TRAVIS.

Here is the picture and their captions...
Ryan- "Somebody shaved my head while I was sleeping!"
Travis- "Awwww, crap... I think my diapers need a bailout..."

Ryan and Travis won simply because We thought these captions were very funny.

A little about Ryan: We met him in college. He was a freshman on Chad's floor our Junior year . Later, he ended living in our yellow house in Newberg. Actually, he was our first housemate (we rented out/opened up our extra rooms to friends). We did a lot with Ryan while he lived with us...went to Costco a lot, went to the zoo, went to an Ansel Adams exhibit. He then moved to South Korea to teach English. He is still there teaching and loving it. He takes amazing pictures of his travels. We webcam with him when we can and miss him a ton. He is our photographing, motorcycle riding friend.

A little about Travis: We met Travis the same way in the same place as Ryan. He also ended up living with us in the yellow house in Newberg. He lived with us longer than Ryan. We played an amazing amount of games with him and his girlfriend (now she's his wife). I was in his wedding and Chad did the video for the wedding. They are now in Colorado and are going to grad school. He is a SuperChemist! He and his wife are very close friends of ours and we seriously miss them! We have fond memories of games and candy with them...particularly AirHeads. We wish we lived closer and can't wait to have them visit. He is our white and nerdy friend! haha!

There were so many great captions. All of them were creative. Thank you so much for the captions maybe we will have new pictures and have another contest!

Valentine's Day!

We didn't really do anything special for Valentine's Day this year. Chad got me some flowers and I made his pizza in the shape of a heart. We did do some room rearranging, which has nothing to do with Valentine's Day, but it's something we like to do sometimes!

Jake has started teething, we are pretty sure. But he might also be fighting a little cold. It's hard to tell. Anyway, here some recent pictures.

The heart Hawaiian pizza...


2/12/09 happy face!...


2/13/09 Holding his Valentine's card from Aunt Angie and Uncle Jeremy...


2/14/09 Helping make the bed! He was on one side, I made the other side of the bed and he started grabbing the sheet!...

I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day. Tomorrow is a memorable day for Chad and I... 6 years ago on 2/15 we started dating. And 1 year ago on 2/15 we found out we were pregnant with Jacob!

This is a big post!

First off here is the long awaited roll over video...of course since the day he rolled over 4 times he hasn't rolled over since!



It's been a long few days since my last post. Here are a few things that have happened.
1. I've gladly been the chauffeur for my friend Sara who injured her knee again (well the doctor injured it we think). I've loved getting to spend extra time with her!
2.Then this past Saturday my dad's best friend and close friend of the family passed away suddenly. That was a very difficult day. This past Wednesday was the memorial service. And today I took my car into his garage to have some work done on it and I cried sitting in his office remembering the last time I was there seeing him at his desk laughing.
3. Kristen came and we made earrings and blessing books!
4. The Superbowl with an awesome Steelers win!
5. I'm now sick.

Here are some pictures of Jake since my last post!
