Before I forget...

Jacob is such a chatterbox even in his sleep. Here are a few things we've heard from him in the middle of the night lately:

"Help me, help me!" Screaming this. I went in to see if he was ok, and his head was hanging off the edge of the bed so I moved him onto his pillow, and he uttered, "Thank you." All this while still sound asleep.

"I want my new fish." This was really loud too. Same night this time he was crying at the same time he was saying, "I want to play outside!" Crying a few more seconds then silence again.

We know he's paying attention to what we say when you hear him say things like:
Holy Moly!
Oh my goodness!
Mom, those are smokin' hot pajamas.
I don't feel good. I have a tummy ache.

Easterin' in the desert

Despite the cold and rain we had fun camping, 4-wheeling, and camping in the desert with my family.

Dying Eggs

We colored eggs for FHE the Monday before Easter so this post is way overdue but I figure better late than never. It was fun to do this with Jacob. All day long he kept asking if it was time to "paint eggs yet." He loved it, and we loved watching him get so excited!!

Just For You Mom

My mom HATES getting her picture taken. She will do whatever she can to avoid being in any pics. But she couldn't say no to Jacob when he said, "I need a picture with Grandma." Thanks Jacob! It's late so I'm going to wait to post more about our camping trip.

Happy Easter!

DUE

I am due OCTOBER 24.

Update

I know it's been awhile since I've posted. I have not felt like blogging for awhile now but thought I'd better update those of you who are still checking on us. Our biggest news is that we're having a baby!!!! Yea! It has been a long and sometimes tough road for me to get pregnant again. So it is a huge blessing that we are very grateful for. Jacob is so funny about it. He's so certain that he's getting a sister, and he plans to call her princess. When I'm not feeling too great he's always got hugs and kisses to help me feel better. And he's already decided which toys to share. He will make a great big brother. In anticipation of the new baby, we've made two changes to his routine. First of all we finally got rid of the pacifiers. He's been paci free for a couple of months now, and I'm wondering what took me so long? Second he's potty trained. Yippee!! He caught on super fast just like he does with everything he learns. We've had minimal accidents, and he even wakes up dry most mornings. I've only had to change his jammies and bedding in the middle of the night twice. Ok I don't change his bedding at 3 am. He just sleeps with us til morning. While speaking of Jacob here is a cute conversation he had with Jarom a couple weeks ago:
Jacob: Did you get married?
Dad: Yes I did.
Jacob: In that temple? (while pointing to the picture on the wall)
Dad: Yes
Jacob: Did Jesus marry you?
Dad (smiling): Yes in a way
Jacob: Oh. I'm too little to get married
He then continued on with playing. How cute is that? We have talked about the temple with him and that we got married there, but him asking if Jesus married us was all him. It just tells me that his brain is a little sponge right now and soaks up everything it can.
A little later in the same day he was riding with my parents to visit the dinosaur museum when grandma asked him where Liz and Ben were. His reply: They're at the temple.
I sure hope he keeps the temple in his mind as he grows up :)
Oh and we had a great time at the dinosaur museum. Jacob was a little bit scared of the bigger displays, but the smaller ones were right up his alley. His favorite parts were playing in the sand (wet and dry).

Here is my confession of the day: I am sick of the snow and rain. I know most of you would agree with me, but I really am sick of it. New snow takes my husband away from me!!
