Jacob's Skyscraper



 Last week Valerie brought Jacob up to the house and just hung out.  It was really nice.  Jacob got to spend some one on one with grampa.  They stayed in the toy room and pulled out all the toys so they could play.  You can see it all over the floor.  But as long as they had fun that is what counted!!  Grampa was home for a few days from truck driving and he really enjoyed the time with Jacob.  Jacob wanted to build a skyscraper.  Here he is when he first started I went in to take pictures and he let me know he was not ready!

 Here they are and in the one below you can see the finishedskyscraper.  They had some stairs that were hooked on a bridge that Jacob was trying to figure out how to add it to the skyscraper so someone could walk up them, but they couldn't figure out how to make it work since the steps only went part of the way up.  And it has to be realistic!
 After Jacob and grampa build the skyscraper they moved on to other things, like coloring pictures to hang on grammas fridge.  Jacob didn't have any pictrures on the fridge yet so he needed to get some done!  Now he does!!
Grampa says that one of the hardest things about being driving a truck and being gone so much is missing out on the time with the grandkids.  He feels like he has to play catch up when he does get home and he doesn't feel like there is ever enough time!

Jordan and Green

So, here we were sitting at a ballgame - and freezing by the way!- Anyway, Lorelie was there watching her grandson Kevin play and she gave the kids a candy.  Actually, she had a bag of candy and let them pick out what the wanted, anyway, Jordan picked a green sucker and was quite proud of the green tongue!  He kept showing it to me so I took a picture and showed him what it looked like....and he liked it!!!

BALLGAMES, BALLGAMES, BALLGAMES!!!

So Dallen and Brandon started playing baseball and they are having a lot of fun.  The pictures are added a little crazy, but that's how I roll!  Anyway, this one is of Brandon batting.  Yes it is coach pitch and yes that is his coach sitting on the bucket to pitch to him!  I always find that amusing.  Brandon is quite the little slugger.  He throws himself into that ball and almost knocks the skin off of it!!
 
 This one is of Dallen he is running to first base.  He was having a time hitting the ball, he got hit by the ball a lot last year and I think he just had a mental block but now he has come out swinging, and he is busting that ball!!  Great job Dallen!!
