Jacob's 1st Birthday Party

Can you believe that it has been a year since Baby Jacob was born?!!!! When you are a child you hear your parents say "I can't believe how fast time flies" and it sounds so cliche, but the older we get the more we realize the truth that statement holds. It seems like just a few days ago that I was standing in a body shop working on an estimate and Kristi called me to go to the hospital...now he is 1 year old! AND AMAIYA IS 10!!!! No wonder I have so much gray hair...
Jacob got his own little cake to eat and destroy. He is just checking in with Mommy to make sure that it is OK to dig into it.

Amaiya wants a bite, but she will not get one...


Now we have just created a monster.

The kids now-a-days grow up so fast...Jacob already has a beard.

Time for presents. Jacob got a cell phone, lots of clothes, a lap top, and a few other neat toys.

What a cute couple!

What a cute family!!!

And of course Ryan and Faith were there....they are always there...wherever there is...

Spring Training 2011

This year we decided to go down to Phoenix to enjoy the Colorado Rockies Spring Training. It gave us a chance to see some pre-season baseball, see Jill and Marc's house and to spend some time with family. Mom and Dad made the trip down to see us and spend the weekend, we were grateful for that. We were there from Friday to Monday and go to see 4 baseball games. For Kristi and I it was something that we have never done but have always wanted to do. It was an absolute BLAST!!! Ryan and Faith were there too.

Jacob loved spending time with all of the family members.


Dinger (the Rockies mascot) fell in love with my wife.

I this photo you can see the 2 captains of the Rockies, Todd Helton on 1st base and Troy Tulowitzki at Short Stop.

Jacob finally found some shade to take a nap. It was between 85-90 degrees every day that we were there.

Jacob loves his Grandma.

He loves his Grandma and his Grandpa.

This is a photo of the cutest couple in the whole world!
