I found Drake raiding the pantry this afternoon. He had taken out every bag of chips we owned. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time he got into the pantry. This happens about 15 times a day. I think we may have to invest in a latch or lock for the door!

Jenna and Drake decided to take turns pushing each other in Jenna's doll stroller. These two are hilarious together....two peas in a pod!

Here's Drake on his new Power Wheels 4-wheeler. It was suppose to be a present for his 2nd birthday but when it arrived his daddy decided he needed it immediately. He absolutely loves it! He drives all over the yard with it...he may need another one by his 2nd birthday.

The boys acting silly after we got finished eating last weekend. They always have so much energy!

Drake and Jenna swimming until they discovered the front door.
Jenna is just adorable!

Drake falling asleep at dinner one night.

Fashion Statement

Fashion statement of the year! FYI....this was Richard's doing, not mine. (Pay close attention to the shoes. Drake likes to do everything on his own and his shoes always end up on the wrong feet.)

At the end of a long day...like father like son.

We've officially all started back to work and daycare. Here are a few pictures from the past several days. The first few pictures are of Drake smiling happily before daycare. The last three are of Drake returning home from daycare, grouchy and into everything (my mascara for the 2nd time!) It's obvious the terrible two's are approaching. Drake's favorite pastime is throwing himself down on the floor.

Tortilla Soup, YUM!

Drake is enjoying his 3rd bowl of tortilla soup. It was a little spicy. He had sweat beading up on his nose and snot running down his face. Needless to say he REALLY enjoyed it!

The boys enjoyed the old rocket at the Clear Springs Restaurant this weekend. They act like it's the greatest thing & it's ancient!

This is how I found Drake during his nap over the weekend. I guess he's reading in his sleep. : )

Cheez'in before his 2nd day of daycare. Unfortunately, he's not this happy once we get there.

Drake's anxiously awaiting going to his new daycare, Cub Country.

Here he's standing in his new classroom and studying the room, along with his new friends.

Drake and his cousins being silly!

We recently got new neighbors and invited them over for dinner. They have a little girl that is close to Drake's age. Here Drake is with his new friend Jenna.

Here are a few pictures of Ruben and Drake enjoying the dinosaur exhibit at the Witte Museum. They also enjoyed the Treehouse. It was nice to see Ruben and Eunice (a.k.a. "Nuney" - Drake's former babysitter).

I took Drake and Jacob (or "Baycub" as Drake calls him) to the zoo a couple of weeks ago. After visiting the zoo we took a train ride because Jacob said he'd never been. It was fun, but very HOT! Jacob then spent the night with us and played Legos and watched Super Mario Brother's most of the day on Saturday.
