Halloween!

Tucker was the cutest waddling penguin you ever did see! Marshall was irresistable as cupid and I adorned some crazy braids as Pippi. All in all a fun time!

From Halloween!

Happy Birthday Tucker and Emily!!

Well, we have been naughty bloggers, but now that fall has arrived, Tucker has turned one, I am officially in my late 20's (28!) and we are not traveling every other week, it is time to get caught up!

Here are a few pics to get you up to date with the little man!

He is walking like a champ and loving his "wa-was" (waffles). He even signs "more please" and "thank you!"

Marshall did an amazing job celebrating me on my birthday weekend! A surprise family bday party on Friday evening was followed with a wild ride with me blindfolded, ending up at SunVilla for a bowling party with family and friends!

From Halloween!

After brunch this morning, we had a little down time and he treated me to a fabulous bday date on the most gorgeous fall day! We hopped on the ferry and walked all around bainbridge, cozied up in the book store for a while and had a delicious dinner at cafe nola (thank you melissa and chris for your wedding gift! we finally used it!)

From Halloween!

All that said, life is full and wonderful and we are happy to be back on track with our blog!

love, the j's

Back from LA and off to Malibu Camp!

Our trek to LA for Tay's graduation was a blast!


USC graduation was an experience...40,000 people in the main quad. We had to arrive at 630 am to get seats! It was great to spend some good time celebrating Tay; marsh and I rallied one night and joined tay, b and lisa at a whiskey bar (so swanky) and then a bit of dancing. Here are Marsh and Tuck at the ceremonies...


And Tuck riding PopPop's shoulders. Good handles!


After the festivities, we headed to San Clemente where we had a great visit with dear friends the Johnsons! Darin and Christy's little Eli quickly became best buds with Tucker. Here is Tuck's first time in a kiddy pool...


And cute little Eli and cousin Jack!


Later the next day, Tuck had his first experience in a big pool!


Tucker rides home in his own seat on the plane!


Once we got home, we had a few days to relax before we were back in action. Tucker and Dad enjoyed the Red Sox.


Tuck crawled all over our apartment.


He even got himself stuck on the rocking chair as he charged for our printer. Notice the peg leg. Seconds later he had crawled right out of his pants.


We had a bath...


and our first hair cut!


Saturday, I coordinated a wedding and Marsh was the dj! Lauren was my trusty and amazing assistant.


Tuck helped too. Here he is confirming vendors on his new phone.


Friday night was our last middle school Wyldlife club of the year. We held "Ice Cream Club" in the park... after sharing with the kids the good news of Jesus, it erupted into a monstrous food fight! Check out the damage...


Marsh took off Saturday morning for Malibu where he'll serve as Head Leader for the month of June. After all the MI high school graduation festivities this week and the end of my 5/6 grade Lax season, Tucker and I will head up to join Marsh at camp until the 20th. We can't wait!

Off to LA!

It has been a late night for Emsy as we are packing up to head to Taylor's graduation from USC! I can't believe 4 years have passed not only since he began, but since I finished my college experience. Where does the time go!

For those of you (Maura!) who have been hankering for a blog update, here are a few to keep you satiated til we return...

love to all!

Tucker has been keeping busy...

Easter and Wyldlife

April is here!

What the heck; this year is FLYING. This month, Marsh and I will be celebrating 4 years since that fateful blind date, 2 years of marriage, one year of finding out we were going to have a little BOY (who will be 7 months on the 25th!) and who we could not be more in love with!

Here are a few fun pics of late...

Tucker and Gommy on Easter

The Boys enjoy some good Easter grub after witnessing an intense egg hunt.


And we recently had our middle school Wyldlife Superhero Club where whacky superheros fought off villains and Jesus was equated to the most amazing Superhero of all time!

Marshall as "Captain Awkward"

March Madness!

Yesterday was the start of the greatest sports event on the face of the Earth! There is no doubt that March Madness will again be the most exciting TV for the next few weeks. Forget about LOST, forget about The View, forget about The Office, forget about CSI, you can even forget about The Soup (I can't believe I just said that). None of these shows even come close to the drama of a small town school hitting a last second shot against a national powerhouse and ruining the brackets of millions of people around the world!

Thank goodness for Young Life giving all of its employees the day off for Good Friday so I could sit at home and watch Western Kentucky beat Drake on a last second 3 and San Diego beating heavy favorite UCONN in OT.

This year's Final Four will take place in San Antonio two weeks from now. According to my less than perfect bracket, Kansas will match up with North Carolina in one game with Texas taking on UCLA in the other semifinal.

Enjoy the Big Dance!

My First Meal!

Guess what! I ate food. Real food. I have been trying to steal it off my parents' plates for weeks and finally they got the clue. Granted, it wasn't as colorful as the stuff they eat, but I don't care. It was food! Check me out...

Here I am in my new bib... here we go!


It's a long way from this bowl to my mouth, and this stuff doesn't stay on there very well...


Bingo! I like my spoon!


Yummy!



Let's wash that down...


I slept so well last night after my feast. I hope I get it again today. And I overheard my mom say that I get to go see Dr. Schreuder tomorrow for my six month appt. I hope I don't get any shots!

My Latest Adventures.

Obviously, my parents are not very good at this whole blog thing, what with working and trying to keep up a social life between changing my diapers, attending to my very important eating and napping schedule (I like to keep em on their toes) and moving things out of my way in light of my newly mastered technique which I call the roll-grab-pull-and-drool. Oh ya, this is me. I am a pretty happy guy.


So, here is what I have been up to of late. A few weeks back, my parents and I and uncle Ty went up to Whistler.


(I am an international man.) It was pretty relaxing. They played this crazy board game where they traded wood and sheep (what's a sheep?) and tried to build roads. We were on a long road all the way there, so I am not really sure what the big deal was. The last day we were there, I showed my dad how quick I was when he was trying to change my diaper, but I am still working on my depth perception and sort of rolled off the bed. I cried for a minute but I was okay. I think my dad was more upset than I was. That rascal.



Oh, and here is the coolest. I have a new cousin! He is my size but has a lot more hair than I do. His name is Rusty Griswold Jamieson.



Uncle Ty doesn't use my changing pad for him though. He takes him outside to poop. (My parents are so much nicer.) I like Rusty.



My favorite thing lately is riding on people's shoulders.

Here is me with Big Papi...


and Uncle B...




and my daddy!



I'm kinda tired now. Time for a nap! Talk to ya later...
