Florida

Last week Jacob and I spent the week with Mary in Florida. It was beautiful weather and nice to have a quick getaway. We worked to help Mary get some more furniture, rugs, and lamps for her new condo. We also so spent a little time in the sun! :) Jacob really loved the sand this time!!! One morning I took him down to the beach and he couldn't get a enough of it. We also saw some amazing sand castles. Check out the great pictures!!!! Thanks for a fun trip Grandma!!!

A few of Jacob's latest activities

Jacob has become one busy little boy. It often takes some major distracting to get things done around the house. Some of Jacobs favorites are riding in the laundry basket and playing with the dog!!! Jacob also had a few play dates this week including Cason. Cason is good at letting Jacob know what he should be doing! :) We also went to the football game again this Friday. This time Jacob did a little better thanks to a early evening nap.

Lastly the reason for such a late night post is Jacob and I are off to Florida to spend some time with Grandma Mary. I've been trying to finish up some last minute packing up I'm exhausted. Hope I have everything!!

Two Happy Grandmas

Yesterday the Grandmas wanted to get together for lunch and show off their little grandchildren. Boys, boys, boys. Maybe Barb will get a little girl in April when Chad, Nicky and Ian welcome their newest member of the family. Thanks for a fun lunch ladies.

A day at the Cabin

Sunday Jason wanted to ride up to the cabin for the day and get some work done on his hunting blind so we left on time in the morning and made a day of it. When we left home and it was raining I was thinking we were in for a long day but luckily it stopped before we even arrived at the cabin. Jacob took great naps so he was a happy camper while we were there. He couldn't resist playing in the leaved while daddy worked. However it was pretty cold so Jacob and mommy had to go in the barn and warm up for a while so daddy could finish up his work.

This weekend we also went to the DUX football game on Friday. It was a little chilly and Jacob was a little afraid of all the cheering so we only stayed until half time. Should have stayed though since it was such a close game. Oh, well were going again this Friday with Brian and Kelly so maybe Jacob will be more entertained and less scared.

Our Little Pumpkin

At Daddy's work Jan wanted to treat Jacob to a sucker.

We had a busy Halloween and Jacob definitely had his costume on and off plenty of times. Next year I'm going to look for a costume that fits in a car seat! We made sure to see all the grandparents and great-grandparents with Jacob in his costume over the past few days and visit Daddy at work!! Here are a few pictures of the festivities which did included taking even Quincy trick or treating after the rain cleared!

In case you can't see it Quincy was a spider. Jason felt bad for her and bought her a costume.

Adventures at Target

So today I had no plans of going to Target but surprise surprise ended up there. Mom wanted me to look at the Radio Flyer Wagon that was on sale for Jacob and Gabriel for Christmas. Sounded like an easy tasks we like it or we don't. Well ends up we had to take one entire wagon out of the boxs just to check that all the parts were in it and then as we get to mom's car realize her trunk is already full with porch furniture that she is taking to storage. Luckily the nice guy helping us this entire time helps us wedge the wagons in the car one on either side of Jacob. Jacob and mom are both laughing hysterically when this helpful guy jokingly tells us we need to stop going to pier one before target and then we would have room for our purchases.

(It was really fun, but you may have had to be there.)

Here is a picture of the wagon the boys will be getting on Christmas. As a note normally we DO NOT Christmas shop this early.
