Soccer Man

Jake is following in his daddy's footsteps. He turned ten months this month, & I wanted to take some pictures of him in his little soccer uniform. I know that Nate would love for Jake to become a little soccer player, but for now he will just be our little man!

Gone Fishing

Yesterday we went fishing, & this is like maybe the third time that I have ever been. Fishing just really is not my favorite thing to do, but I really enjoyed it. I guess once you have kids you enjoy things better, it is fun to see you kids doing new things. We decided to go fishing because Nate & I are scout leaders. The sad thing is that the only person to catch a fish was one of our eight year old boys!

Baby Boy Brusman

My sister Ashley is preggy for all who didn't know!!! This weekend my mom, Jake, and I went up to Idaho Falls to visit her and find out the sex of the baby. It was definite BOY, and they were both so excited. Ash is about 20 weeks now, and she doesn't even look pregnant! (jealousy) So anyway Jake is so excited to have a new little cousin!

Nine Month Pictures

One of my good friends Julie Vasquez and I went and took some great pictures of Jake. He is getting so big!! Thanks Julie for the help.

Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day weekend we went with grandma & grandpa Bean to a family reunion at Walowa Lake. This was for Nathan's mom's family. It was a lot of fun camping with grandma and grandpa, and Jake loved being out in nature. It was kind of crazy, the deer there just come right up to you looking for food. But anyway, we found cashes, which are little boxes that anyone can find using a GPS. You find the coordinates, and the GPS points the way. It is crazy how many people actually go and find these things. You can leave things in the box, or take things that you want. It was a lot of fun!!!

Eight Months

So this is Jake at 8 months, although he will be 9 months next week. We were kind of slow getting his pictures this month!!

Camping FUN!?!?!?

So we decided to go camping this weekend, and we really had a great time. We were able to go four wheeling and motorcycling, and Jake really had a fun time! We went riding to a humming bird farm, there were probably at least 25 humming birds in this one tree. It was fun to watch them all, but they were kind of hard to photograph, the little guys can move so FAST! To keep Jake safe on the four wheeler, Nana (Gayle) brought a child harness that snapped around the driver and the child. Nate looks pretty good with it on, especially from the back side.

It was so nice to just relax by the fire, and eat smores. Jake loved being out in nature, it was so relaxing.

On the way home we got to the end of the dirt road, and we hit the asphalt. All of a sudden we heard a loud clunking sound. We were so surprised to get out and find that we had a flat tire, or to find no tire at all! Instead of a short 45 min home, it took us about three hours! Jake was such a good little boy. 

We really had a great time, but our relaxing trip turned into a hard working end!
