Schools Almost Out! Twins Taking Drivers Training!

School is almost out for summer break... YIPEE!  Thanks to all the great teachers out there that do try to make a difference in their students lives, you are appreciated.
Jake and his twin sister will be taking drivers training this summer which makes me want to pull my own hair out piece by piece just thinking of all the worry that will be coming my way when they actually start driving on their own in the near future.

Don't say I did not warn you all about my crazy twins taking to the roads.  lol


I am very curious to see how having more freedom to roam will turn out between Jake and his twin sister, I think I have always wondered about the days of them becoming adults and if they will remain as close as they have through these early childhood days.  I am betting that even with the ability to have more space from each other, they will each choose to stay close to one another, that is my hope at least.

I will keep you all informed about the funny adventures that come from twins going through drivers training.

Speaking of, what is your funniest memory of drivers training?

License, Louie & Love

LICENSE:
Since I have been sharing all these true childhood stories about Jake's life since birth, I do not think I have ever actually said how old Jake is right now, but you can probably guess his age when I tell you that this summer he will be taking drivers training.  Yes, Jake and his twin sister are almost 15 years old and that means they will be driving on their own by the end of next year!  I can only imagine the stories that milestone will bring.... which is why I created something to warn people next year.


LOUIE:

Louie is Jake's new puppy he rescued from the aminal shelter around Christmas time.  This "puppy" is already huge and I can only imagine how big this bullmastiff mix is going to get but he loves Jake and is a very loyal companion already.  This picture is of Louie when Jake got him, today he is already big enough to jump up and lick Jake's face and Jake is just taller then me at 5' 7".
LOVE:

There are no words to describe my love for my son Jake or his three sisters all I can do is hope they feel it in their hearts each and everyday.

Crib Craziness

Going way back in time to when neither Jake or his twin sister could walk, back to when Jake was very good at pulling himself up on everything he could reach (Jake walked just before 11 months, so somewhere in the 10 month range).
One morning when I opened the door to the twins bedroom I got a very big surprise, one crib empty and one crib with two babies in it.  I remember thinking maybe their dad or their older sister had moved Jake from his crib to his twin sisters crib, so I brought it up at dinner time and they both denied ever moving Jake and kind of looked at me like I was nuts, even suggesting that I had probably moved Jake and forgot about it or something. Yeah, right like that happened, misplacing babies was not my thing.
The following morning though of course, I opened the door and sure enough there was Jake and his twin sister both grinning from ear to ear and bouncing up and down in her crib.
Long story short... from the minute Jake was able to,  he began climbing out of his crib every night, crawling across the room and climbing up into her crib, where he got a good night of sleep probably watching over her.

This crib craziness continued until the cribs went away and the Little Tykes Race Car beds arrived, which is another crazy story all together!
It is crazy what a boy will do for the sister he dearly loves, that is a love he was born with.
