Tyler turned 2

March 3rd, 2008 / posted by Jake

On February 10th, Tyler turned 2 years old! We counted this birthday as his first official birthday because he actually knew what was happening. Well, he understood he was receiving cake, presents, and lots of attention that is. He’s still picking up on lots of words and phrases so we have to be careful. Ok, I Jake, have to be careful although I’m not sure he knows who I am anymore. I am no longer “dahdah” but rather “dude”. Yup. The best part about it is he’s the only 2 year old who calls his dad dude so there is never any confusion in public places. If Tyler can’t find me, he yells out “dude” and I come running and yell back, “duuuuuuuuuude”. It’s great. Fortunately or unfortunately, he still calls Lindsey “mom.”

Kaitlyn is progressing. She’s in that stage where all she does is smile, giggle, talk to herself, and mess in her diapers. It’s déjà vu all over again. Lucky for us she’s a sleeper so we do get to sleep.

Here in Orangevale, the weather has been absolutely great although I must admit – I know this will last about 2 weeks and then we will once again have to endure the blistering heat and sun as another record-setting summer fast approaches. But hey, for those of you who actually believe global warming is a government conspiracy I hope you enjoy yourself this Summer. When you are wondering why each summer is progressively becoming more hot, the rest of the country will already know the answer. The government is just quick and I’m glad you’re not too naive.  Please pack up your Winnebago’s, head to Area 51 and laugh amongst your comrades about space travel, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley and other conspiracy theories.  If you’d like to rent the Zapruder film, I have it.  Anyway, our weekends have been great. We open up all the doors and windows in the house and let the wind and cool air come in. We usually try to do some sort of outdoor activity which usually ends up being, “Watch dad drive his new RC car.” The kids and mom love that one.

Finally, as you can see the website has been redone. I was bored. What does this mean for you? Nothing. If you wish to be notified when we add new posts, add your email to our mailing list. If you were previously on the list, then your email was carried over and everything has been taken care of. If you have troubles with navigating the site please let me know. Also, I would like to hear what you think of the new layout. If you’d like it mounted on your wall I can accommodate. Oh and I am slowly moving all the old entries/comments/photos over so be patient. Sseriously.

- Dude.
