Its that time again

Time to catch up in the blogging world of the Jessops.  I do this every few months and then completely forget about the blog and then I go through my pictures to remember what we've been up to.  We've basically skipped the whole summer! We've been both busy and laid back both of which have been very lovely.  
 Being reverent in church, a rare occurrence. Although we dont have to take him out as often which is nice.  There are a few screams usually in sacrament but we push through.   

 trying on mom's necklaces
 Worn out after the park, asleep with pen in hand. 


 He got into the oatmeal and had a blast playing with it.  Thankfully it is easy to vacuum! I sure love my little mess maker. 
 headphones and duck calls, what else do you need?
 We were out for a walk and he went straight for the Brough's house.  They're such great friends and drake loves them! He knows exactly which apartment is theirs.  

 Snuggles with dad, i'm jealous

 Putting his whole self in the trunk of the car. 
 Throwing a fit because he keeps pushing the car into the table.  It was nap time.  
 We met some friends in Salt Lake and had a girls weekend, Drake loved the fountains at city creek! 

 We visited the children's museum, and he loved it! I wish there was something like this in Elko to do. 


 That same weekend my family ended up coming out so we had a fun time playing with them! Drake loved the play place at City creek.

 My sister came home with us and Drake loved it! She was so awesome to have around.  The best Aunt a girl could ask for.  


 This is drake's "mmmm" face.  If I ask him if something is yummy he makes this face and says "mmm"
 Sewing lessons! 
 He loved having a back seat buddy and definitely missed her when she left.  

 Playing with the cat in lewiston, he thinks it's the greatest thing ever.  and the cat is so nice to just let the kids grab him and tug it's tail.  
 He just brought me his flip flops and thought he needed to wear them while he played. 
 I put him down for his nap one morning and he was in there screaming so I went to check on him and this is how I found him. We both had a good laugh about it! Silly boy! 

 Lots of time spent outside. 
 Playing peek-a-boo with his friend Trent.  
 Kevin and I were both in bed one night, he was doing homework and I was reading.  I heard him start to breath really hard and was about to ask him why he was breathing so hard, (He tends to breath hard when he's concentrating) When I looked over and found him fast asleep hands on the computer and all haha Kevin has been such a hard worker This last year, He has made it through a year of his MBA and has one more year to go (woot woot!!!) He does this all while working full time and getting up at 4:00am He is such a hard worker and I am so proud of him.  There are weeks where we're both ready to throw in the towel but He still manages to do all that and have time for us, he really is the best!  
 Playing in the mud. He wanted to touch it but got so mad that it wouldn't come off his finger.  
 Kicking the soccer ball around.  
If we say "Let's go bye bye" he goes to the door.  One sunday I said it before we were actually ready to leave and he got mad at me because he wanted to get out of there! So now I only say it when we are walking out the door.  That and "outside" are two words we have to be careful with unless we are really headed outside. 

That was all of June pretty much summed up! We stayed pretty busy and spent a lot of time outside in the hot weather.

Just a few other things

Some other things that Drake has been up to lately are...
 Making messes, Our house pretty much looks like this ALL the time.
 He loves to be the driver and turn on the signals and the windshield wipers.

 He loves to put on my necklaces and this key card key chain it's so cute!
 Using the baby monitor as a phone.  He just started doing this one day and now he'll do it every time I say "hello" Its amazing how much they're watching.
 Feeding himself.  I have to put the food on the fork but he'll do the rest after that.
 Using Dad's phone to talk
 He learned how to climb into the rocking chair using the foot stool.  Like i said, he's a climber!
 One day I put his shoes on because we were going somewhere and he went and stood right here.  He knew exactly what was happening, it was so cute!
 His "say cheese" face


 Getting his birthday card from Grandma Eaton

 I think he looks just like Kevin in this picture.  He always looks like Kevin but I swear if I didn't take this picture I would have thought it was Kevin when he was a baby.
 Wrestling with dad

 showing off his cute belly
He wanted us to blow up the balloon and then give it to him to let the air go and wanted this to go on for hours.  He threw a fit when I couldn't do it anymore.  I was getting light headed!

ONE

My baby is one, don't really know how that happened but he is.  He's at such a fun stage now where you can almost feel him learning.  He's so good at clapping and showing me how big he is by lifting his hands above him.  He knows where things are and you can no longer hide things behind your back because he knows they're still there.  He's a climber, is very expressive with his facial expressions, and throws fits when he doesn't get his way.  He fake laughs and scrunches up his nose like 'i'm so funny', loves to play outside and loves his dad, He loves to wrestle on the bed.  He is a pretty good sleeper most of the time and a busy body the rest of the time.  He'll pretty much eat anything.  If he spits it out the first time the next time he usually eats it right up.  He's so much fun and I often think to myself how did I get this lucky to be this boys mom? I am so blessed.  



 He woke up to balloons on his birthday and loved them.
 His tractor from Grandpa Rob and Grandma Karen.  
 Clapping because he thinks his tractor is so great.  He mostly walks behind it and pushes it but he'll get the gist of it soon enough, i'm sure.  

 Birthday cake.  He hated it.  There was dry heaving involved. He did love to play with it though.

 We went to Utah the day after his birthday but when we came home my parents gift was at our door step! He loves this one too, We've gone on walks the past couple of nights after dinner and he loves it.  

 He's getting good and climbing it and climbing into the seat himself.  
Just sitting side saddle 

Like I said, we went to Utah after Drake's birthday.  Kevin had a school thing out in Pennsylvania so I decided to go stay with my in-laws for the week, we had a great time.  
 He was so tired one night that he actually slept in my arms in the rocking chair.  Do you realize what a miracle this is?  Dream come true! 

 "helping" in the garden




 Big boy in the Rocking chair! 

 To say he loves climbing the stairs is an understatement.  We did it for hours a day.  

 This picture is bad quality but the Cat loved drake and he would laugh when he tickled his legs with his   hair.  Gross farm cat ha ha
