og fair...

these are a few pics jason took at the og fair- brandi and candice brought the kids over and they had a good, muddy time! we took jake to the state fair the next week...so i think his fair expectations will be high for the og fair next year...lol! those pics are below on next post.



this is one that another teacher took of me and mer on halloween- i think it's hard to believe we're sisters- not much resemblance...lol!

state fair...

we took jake to the state fair a couple of weeks ago and had the best time. we did the whole sha-bang...ag shows, petting zoo, rides, games, helicopter ride, tractor pull, circus, and rodeo. we were there for over 10 hours and jake held up- he didn't even get cranky! we will definitely be going every year from now on!

pinocchio...

these are a little late and aren't the greatest pictures...i was using my little camera i keep in my purse. pinocchio came on tv one night about two months ago and i recorded it for jake. he watched it several times and when i started asking him what he wanted to be for halloween- he kept saying pinocchio...i tried to find a costume online but the ones i found were ridiculous...so i kept bringing up other options and he still was set on pinocchio. i knew that my family would think it was "sissy"- like ty ;)!!! but i told myself that he is 3 years old and if he wants to be pinocchio then i shouldn't care- and i didn't. i thought he was the cutest pinocchio ever...and besides- we have many years to be batman, spiderman, and football players! my mom made the costume...sure glad she was home! hey lacey...you think jake looks like breanna in the first one?

best friend...

-if you ever ask jake who his best friend is- you better be ready to hear all about bob. he'll go on and on and on about "bob is a good guy" and "bob is my best friend" and "bob needs me to help him work today, momma" and "i need to go to work with bob today, daddy"...i really don't think that it gets much sweeter than this.

all 6 of them...

it is hard as heck to get a picture of all these kids- but with 4 or 5 cameras flashing- i think we got a decent picture!

jake, jacques, jaxun, nolan, brooke lynn, and breanna

weekend in dallas...

jason, myself, meridith, brooke lynn, and jake left for dallas on wednesday. we spent the day at six flags thursday. jake did really well- he was a big boy. he road several rides and then he and his daddy went back to the room for a nap. us girls spent the rest of the day riding big kid stuff. we intended on riding the trolly back to the room, but we forgot to get our trolly passes before we left the room that morning. we went back to the room for a swam and then out to eat. we woke up friday and spent the day at hurricane harbor- which was great. jake had a blast. again- he and jason headed back early for a nap- we stayed the rest of the day...we did remember to get the trolly passes this time, but we forgot them in the truck...lol! so jason came to get us late that afternoon. we came home on saturday. it was a fun trip!

jake's lap 3...better late than never...

a good friend of mine (a.k.a.- kim danley) always takes jake's pictures at his birthday parties. well it's not an easy time of the year for her- seniors, babies, weddings, spring pics...the list goes on and on! we finally got around to jake's pictures- so of course, i had to share them. it was a really cute party- and his favorite yet.
-they really are clear pictures but after i loaded them for the slideshow- the quality isn't as great...but anyway- you get the picture!

father's day...dettenhaim style...

we celebrated father's day at bob and nana's house and ty grilled hamburgers. bob and jason had to go check the water and suggested candice and i tag along with the boys. they had a blast- even in their underwear- they had just finished swimming when we left for the field. bob even let jaxun knock a hole in the pipe- and freaked out when jaxun started knocking several holes -on the wrong side of the pipe- and again when jake started sticking his entire arm through the previous holes- obviously making it impossible to plug the holes later- so funny!

father's day with my family...

mom was able to come in for father's day...so all the hambys got together at her house and grilled steaks. we celebrated on saturday afternoon because she had to fly back to michigan early sunday morning. we had a great time...it was baby brylee's first trip to the big og! jake LOVED her! she is my cousin brent and wife britni's little girl. jake isn't in the grandkids picture because he wouldn't cooperate!
