Auntie Love.

One of my favorite things about our trip to the other side was the time I got the spend with my Josher.  It appears that there is no distance that can separate our love for each other.  He is definitely going to be two.  It is apparent in all that he does.  

The major change is that he now talks, runs and is very familiar with the word no.  He also calls me Jess and runs around the house looking for me when I leave his sight and it melts me folks....it just melts me.  I love you is a new phrase and he freely gives kisses whenever you ask.  

Did I mention that the Josher is going to be a big brother in a few short months.  We are hoping and praying that June will bring another healthy, sweet boy into our mix.  We are all excited even the Josher.

And in case you are wondering those are most definitely chocolate cookie crumbs around his mouth.  I also fed him an entire meal with chopsticks, because it was the only way he was eating lunch for me that day.  What can I say he's cute and I just can't get enough!  

I have lovingly dubbed the new baby Doogie.  That is his name in my mind until my sister decides to share his real name and then it just might still be Doogie for me.  I have been knitting for Doogie and shopping for Doogie and pining for his arrival.  I suppose you can guess that there will be no shortage of love for this next little boy.

Yes I draped the blanket over the side of Mr. Jager while he was driving to get a photo. He could still see plenty, no one was at risk here folks.

Yesterday Was Beautiful

I think spring has arrived.....it was so nice and warm yesterday! The kids didn't have any school yesterday so we had planned on getting some projects done in the morning and than go for a little reward when I got home from teaching in the afternoon. Brian has Monday's off so we were all able to enjoy the afternoon together.

First stop Everybody's Store in Acme, followed by a drive in the country with the wind blowing through our hair, tunes ont he radio and then ending with a BBQ at Grans.


I gave grace a pair of old frames that I took the lenses out of so she could use them for dress up. She wore them all day yesterday. We called her a hipster...I think they look pretty cute!

And look who else showed up for the BBQ....

Joshy!


Are those not the cutest little toes in flip flops you have ever seen?

So there you have it. A beautiful day spent together!

Guess who's 1?

How did he go from this....



To this?


Oh man Joshy us 4 Jagers love you so much...we are so glad that your Mommy is a good sharer.

Happy First Birthday little buddy!

Oh and we got him the Darth Vader shirt I mean he's one now:)

Haven't Told You Where To Eat In Awhile....

I have been dieing to try this donut shop in Bellingham. It is right across the street from Bellingham High in a little shack that housed my grandfathers barber when I was a kid and a taco shop when my mom was in high school at Bellingham High.

The people just recently opened up the shop again but this is not their first go around at the fried loveliness we call doughnuts.

This was the first thing that welcomed me as I pulled in.


And this is what I got.

Oh yes you better believe I got two items not just one and I ate them both at the same sitting...well driving really. And before you start judging and making comments about how of course you can eat two doughnuts...yep so can you just not everyday:) This place doesn't have much for seating its a shack. I ordered the chocolate cake doughnut it did not disappoint and the apple fritter which was not grossly over-sized or grossly covered in glaze. It had nice sized chunks of recognizable real apple (insert happy tummy here).

I noticed there sign as I pulled away.

It really was a bite of Happyness:)

Speaking of....bet you haven't seen this guy in awhile.

This was during a very serious conversation of,"who's the cutest best most awesome baby in the world?"Ummmm yeah no contest:)
I love me some Joshy time!
