Ari's 3rd Birthday Party

Can you believe it? Ari is almost 3! We had a birthday party for him yesterday. He had a great time! I think he really loved having his friends over the most. :) Enjoy these Pictures and a short
Video:

Ari and Jacob - Side by Side!

Here are photos of Ari (left) and Jacob (right) both at 3 months old, even wearing the same outfit! What do you think, do they look alike? I think Jacob looks more like me and Ari looks more like Aaron. They have the same nose, and similar lips, but I think they look pretty different! It's going to be really amazing to see how Jacob's looks change as he grows. His hair is starting to fall out now, after being born with a head of dark long hair. It's getting lighter now, maybe he'll be a blondie like his big brother!

Welcome Jacob Arthur Janus

Jacob Arthur Janus is here! We welcomed him into the world on 9/2/20111 at 3:20am. So far Ari is LOVING his baby brother and is always trying to cuddle and snuggle him. He has been great with him (so far!) and very gentle and loving. Now I have way more to blog about! :) Here are a few pictures of our Jacob.

Butterflies and Cartoons

While in Portland, Ari and Aaron got their portraits drawn, as cartoons! So cute!
And they also picked out this pretty butterfly necklace for me at the Saturday Market. I love it!

Baby Daddy Overnight

Ari and Aaron took a little getaway trip down to Portland, OR for some baby daddy time. They had a blast! I loved getting texts and pictures of how much fun they were having. They stayed in a hotel and rode the Max to the Zoo, had dinner with Aunt Lynn and Isabel, and went to the Saturday Market. They came back Saturday night. While they were away I had some downtime to go to the spa! I sure missed my guys though. Here are the pictures that Aaron texted me while they were gone.

Lunch time on the road!

Hotel! And a map! Woo hoo!

Hotel bed!
Ari got to ride the Max train! So excited! Doesn't he look so happy?
Dinner with Isabel and Lynn

Good morning!

Breakfast in bed

And...nap time.

I'm so glad they got some good quality time together! :)

Ari Get's a Haircut

Well, we finally got Ari's hair cut! The curls are still there, of course - how could we cut those off!? But he really needed a trim because it was in his eyes, and bugging him. So, I took him to West Seattle Kids Salon to get a trim. He got to sit in a tractor seat and was such a good boy staying still for the stylist. So, here's a before picture of our little guy with his longer hair. We even had a friend say that he looked like he had a moose and squirrel on his head! HA! Ok, it was alittle long...(he was also being mistaken for a girl by strangers)And here he is with his new haircut! He got a special after haircut yummy treat for being so good. :) It was as big as his head!

I love this picture. I have it on my desktop at work so I can look at it all day. It's just so cute and he looks so happy.

Throwing Rocks at Lincoln Park

We like to go to Lincoln Park to hang out, throw rocks, run around, picnic and play on the playground. Ari LOVES to throw rocks. We always have fun when we go. Now that its getting a little nice out, we've been trying to go more. Here is a video I shot of Ari (quality isn't that great) playing on the beach back in February of this year.
