Jacob's 3rd Birthday Party

Opening presents:
Checking out his cake with the fam:
Jacob, a little unsure about what Uncle Mark is doing...




I can't believe my little guy is (almost) three! He is such a joy and constantly cracking me up, but he sure knows how to test me, too. His party went great! He got lot's of great gifts including a new swing set from his Switzer grandparents and us (I'll take a picture this week). Can't think of any funny or exciting stories... just a good day. The weather could have been a little warmer (it was about 50), but hey, the sun was shinning so I won't complain too much.

Other news... Brody is (finally) walking! He's taken a few steps here and there, but as of today he is walking! Sometimes it's about 25 steps, sometimes about 2, but he's getting more and more brave! Which is exactly his problem... he's had the balance and coordination to walk for months, he just lacked the confidence. Maybe it's the fact he has a brother eager to knock him down every time he gets up?!?! Hmm....

Also, we (finally) took the new member class at our Church! After attending for about 7 years, being married there and having both our kids baptized there it definitely seemed time (or a little past due!). We will be welcomed officially at the May 31st service, I believe.

Oh and in sad news, I killed my camera. All those great shots in the pool came at a price. I thought I was in the clear since Aaron got the extended warranty, however it does not cover being dropped in a pool. (Can anyone tell me WHAT good an extended warranty is?! Seems to cover exactly what would be covered under the manufacturers warranty... Grrrr). So I'm screwed. And the camera was only 3 months old :( Thankfully, cameras are much cheaper these days (especially when you don't buy a foolish warranty), but it's still so disappointing. Thankfully though our pictures and memory card are just fine.
