Crazy Jay Z

Jaye LOVED messing around with Megan's computer, Michael however would not get in front of it. Jeff wasn't so fond of the goofy pictures either.

Jaye and Megan

I hope not, but this could be Jaye in 40 years.

The trickster...

Michael is awesome on his bike. He has been riding for two years now, but this year he is into tricks. A bike ramp may be a future gift idea...X games here he comes. :)

Jaye on two wheels!

Jaye LOVES riding her bike. Her and Michael have been out riding EVERY night/day for the last week. It is amazing to see them so big. I love seeing Jaye's determination to do something.

Little Jaye

Well we have had a string of beautiful weather, 4 days of 60's and 70's and ALL SUN! Therefore we decided to try Jaye on a two wheel bike this spring. We weren't sure how it was going to go, but after three tries she was cruising around the cemetary (our practice location). Now after 4 days of practice she is awesome on two wheels. I can't believe she is riding a two wheel bike, she is so big!

Jaye looks cute...

Jaye as not wearing a kimono...although she would look cute in that too.

Michael turns 6!

Michael's last minute black panther cake...

you can see the inspiration in the lower left hand corner.

Jaye trying her luck at skeeball...after coaching from friend Sarah, Jaye still didn't have the hang of it.

Michael's 6th Birthday turned out great. In the morning Megan, Rebecca, Ryan, Uncle Doug, and Aunt Beth left...this left Michael feeling sad as he really connected with them. In the afternoon Jeff's dad was taken suddenly to the ER. On our way from the hospital to his party he said, "this is the worst birthday ever, my cousins left and my grandpa is in the hospital."

Once we removed ourselves from the sadness from the day and found ourselves surrounded by friends and family that loved us, Michael perked up and he had a great time at his party. Thank you to Dave, Sarah, Donna Lynn, Eddie, Jeffrey, Uncle B-Rad, Aunt Sarah, Buddy, and Michaela for helping to make Michael's party awesome. We love you guys.

Making the Band...

I would vote for this band based solely on their appearance. Who is that girl in the back?
