Baby # 3

Baxter

Welcome to the family Baxter.  AKA Phlea Baxter Rademacher   I found Baxter on the side of the highway when I was taking Jacob to school in the storm last week.  He was sitting on a orange road  cone.  I drove by him the first time and was like that's a kitten. So after dropping off Jacob I headed back to see if I could find him.  Sure enough he was still sitting on the cone.  I drove past him again and then had to turn around so that I could find a safe place to pull over.  I ran over to him and he said some not so nice Kitty words and off we went back to the house of a warm bath and drying off.  He was soaking wet.  I did call Red and told him that I has rescued a kitten off the side of the highway.  Of course he said OHH NO!  But we have all grown to love the spunky little guy.  He loves Molly and Molly loves him.  So welcome to the family Baxter.

My first belly cake

A friends baby shower was last month so I decide to make a belly cake for the shower.  What a long process.  But I loved it and learned and lot from making the cake.  Yes, I would make it again.  Now I know how much time to give myself and  how to do it.  I loved making the belly cake what a fun shower idea.

First Soccer Pratice/Frist Soccer game

We signed the both boys up to play soccer though the YMCA.  Both of the boys were very excited and looking forward to playing soccer.  The loved their first game and first practice.  The lady who is their coach is wonderful. She does a great job of helping all the kids and taking time with them.  Jacob loves to be right into the middle of it.  He does get broad easily with it.  He didnt' want to practice for the whole half hour. He just sat down in the middle of the field and waited for the ball to come his way.  At their first game he wondered away to watch another game wall playing his game.  Jacob needs it to be fast paced lots of moving and running to stay with the game.  Justin loved it also.  He is very timid with the ball but man when he gets into it the loved it. Plus he gets to hang out with all of his little buddies that just happen to be on the same team. 

Jacob's First Day of Preschool

Jacob started preschool two weeks ago.  Now he did start a week late because he was so super super sick.   He loves it. He is going to the same preschool that Justin went too.  He is in the three year old class and seems to be enjoying himself.  On his first day of school I asked him what he learned and he said Mommy I learned all about girls.  I just about died laughing.  Only my son would go to school and learn about girls.  Looking forward to what this year is going to bring for both the boys in school.  Enjoy your first year of school buddy.  We love you.

Finished product.

Justin started school last Friday.  Here in Camden county they do what's called a staggered start.  The school year started last Wednesday but Justin didn't have to go until Friday. There was only seven other kids in his class the first day.  He really liked it.  He was shy, oh course, for the beginning ,but he seemed to be warming up when we left.  He did charge his lunch the first day since they didn't tell him to get his lunch box.  It's okay. Lots of things going on the first day of school.  He love riding the bus and was excited to get to ride it this morning.  Way to go Justin.  We are proud of you and love you.  And no I didn't cry but I am lonely with out him.

I love the smushed face and that little grin. 

Jacob loves to play with Red's headset.  After coming home from this last deployment he had all of his stuff sitting in the rocking chair.  Now  the temptation was just to much for Jacob.  I came into the living room to find  him with Red headset on, gloves on and his cover on.  It was to cute to miss not taking a picture of.  If you ask Jacob what he is going to do when he grows up he most of the time will tell you that he is going to be in the Coast Guard.  Future Coastie in training.
