Things to come...

I promise to update my blog today while the kids are napping! I have tons of pictures of Gabe's 4th birthday party that I need to post about. Gotta go, Ian has marker all over his hands and just grabbed the bottle of purel......

Fruitylicious!

You Are an Orange

You have a zest for life, especially for anything colorful, wild, or dramatic. You have a unique take on the world, and you're not afraid to be a little funky. You are a bit reserved toward people who don't know you well. You have a thick skin, which can protect you from anything that goes wrong in your life. Once someone does get to know you, they totally get and appreciate you. Your friends see you as a bright person with a refreshing take on life.

What Type of Fruit Are You?

One more...

Here are Kalli and Bronson "rolling" down the hill, it looks
a little funny- like they are just lying there but I think
they were actually racing down the hill! :)

Easter Weekend and more...

We have had a busy week at our house and it all started with painting our kitchen. Thanks to the expertise of Craig, Sheila, and Brianna, my kitchen has gone from sterile to scrumptious! Thanks you guys, I could not have ever done this without you!

Not bad for a day's work, huh?

The arches are my favorite part of the whole kitchen, which is funny because we originally were not going to paint that wall because of the rounded corners. This picture is also pretty close to what the color actually looks like. Don't mind the mess!

The Saturday before Easter we had my family and Cortanie over to color easter eggs (the Jacobs and the Yosts went to Boise to visit the Brownings - we opted not to go because of the thought of a six hour drive with our kids - yikes! Cortanie had to work so could not go, but we had a great sleepover!)
Here are the Easter Egg coloring pro's led, of course, by Gabe who was very proud of his Eggs.

The most beautiful and Talented Hannah and Candice with Simon and Ian.

Not the most flattering picture , especially for me, but the look on Gabe's face is great!

. This picture pretty much sums up the mood of Easter Sunday, we all had a great day with lots and lots of sugar!

Our Family of Five!

On Monday, Nick took the afternoon off and we all went to the park to enjoy the warm spring weather and fly our new kite. We actually bought the kite in January, Gabe picked it out, and it has been sheer torture for him to wait till the weather was warm to try it. Here he is finally flying the kite!

Here is a picture of Ian rolling down the "hill", although he was already at the bottom of the hill on flat ground. :)

Here is my silly silly Ian!

Happy Birthday Madilynn!!!

Madilynn, we just wanted to say Happy 4th Birthday! We hope it is a great one!
Love, The Jacobs Family

Presenting Simon!

Here Ian and Simon meet for the first time. Ian is thrilled with his little brother, he can't get enough hugs and kisses from him!
Here is Simon meeting his biggest brother for the first time!



Here is Simon Richard Jacobs about 1 hour after his birth. In case you didn't know, he weighed 7 lbs., 13 ozs. was 20 inches long, and is pretty near perfect!

Homage to the Belly

Nick took this picture the night before I was induced. It may seem kind of weird but I thought that I should immortalize the big belly in case it was my last. In case you were wondering those hands belong to Gabe, Ian, and me. I wanted Nick's hand in the shot too, but he couldn't take a picture one-handed...go figure! It's weird, but as anxious as I was to not be pregnant again, I really do miss that belly, especially feeling the baby move and kick inside. It is definitely the best part of being pregnant!
