3 Years Old Pix | Julie Marie Portraits

I can't hardly believe that my first baby turned 3 this past Monday.  It just amazes me as to how time flies the older I get!  Anyway, Jake got his haircut tonight. When we got home, he grabbed his mower, and I grabbed my camera.  I bribed him to smile at me with some chocolate kisses and told him to jump and run...of course he was more than willing to do that!   These have got to be some of my favorite pix ever of him.  They depict him to a T!  He is my strong-willed, independent, loving little wild man that doesn't sit still unless he's reading a book or playing on the ipad.  Oh, how I love him!!!

Hope everybody is having a great January!  We are enjoying our downtime so much along with all of our visitors that have been here!    I really didn't have much to say except that I wanted to pop in to say hi and of course, post some pix of my boys!  To give you an update, big brother Jake is starting to acknowledge his brother somewhat.....i guess the good thing is that Jake does not want to be near his brother, so he's not bothering him at all!  However, I was able to get some funny pix of the two of them yesterday.  Also, yesterday Johnny was 4 weeks....my how the time is flying!

One of my favorite blogs did a picture like this below for every week of her daughter.  I, however, am going to do a monthly picture just to show how big he gets.

love, love, love this one...i'm not even sure what Jake is telling Johnny

and some fun pictures of my Jakers....2.5 years old and ornery as can be and so much fun!
