A Warm Day to Play Outside

This spring certainly has been a windy cold one. So we are happy that today is a warm enough day to be outside. So we will bust of the chalk, Popsicle, and the Jeep!

Hoping we continue to have more day like this because we are tired of being cooped up inside. We were all born to be OUTSIDE!

Grandma and Grandpa Jacobson

So we are very lucky to life just down the road from Grandma and Grandpa Jacobson. We pretty much live there more than we live at our house. In fact I often wonder if they ever get sick of us being there and are like, man we wish they would just go home. We just love being there and Logan and Ashlee just love getting to see Grandma and Grandpa. I love the fact that they have such good relationships with Flint and Lisa! Two of the best people that I know. We sure love getting to spend sooo much time with them. We spend most Sundays there after church and then many other days of the week also. I need to be better at taking picture, because we sure have fun and it is definitely our home away from home. Here are a few pictures that I did happen to capture.

These two have a special relationship and I love seeing it! Ashlee sure love her papa, she has been a papa's girl from a very early age!!

We are all just lounging around on a Tuesday evening! Ashlee playing with her babies!!

Ashlee Nicole

Being a parent has changed my life in ways that are hard to describe. The love I feel for you is stronger than I ever dreamed possible, and the sense of responsibility is larger than I ever imagined. When I look at you, I see the future about to unfold. I want so much for you to find your place in the world...to understand the meaning of love...to know the satisfaction found in relationships. I'm grateful to have been touched by God's hand when He gave you to me as my daughter. (Quote taken from a book called 'To My Daughter" by Marci)

What a precious little girl she is! We just love her to pieces. 

What makes her Ashlee:

-She is very stubborn!! She wants things her way and she really wont budge. Its a good thing Logan is so tenderhearted, because he gets to deal with her stubbornness more than the rest of us. He is such a good big brother!

-She is very independent! In her mind she is older than she really is because she can do everything by herself. She will put you in your place if you try to help her and it wasn't requested. 

-She is very loving!! She is sweet and love to give hugs, kisses and cuddle. I love the days that she will just come give me tons of hugs and kisses and just gives me her one of a kind smile. I love that she loves to cuddle. We can just cuddle on the couch and read a book or watch and movie and I just treasure these moments.

-She is my best friend!! Or so she tells me everyday now! I am sure she will grow out of it, but I hope not. I love hearing : "Mommy you my best friend!" It sure melts my heart!

-She eats everything! She is quite the opposite of her brother. She will usually eat anything and everything that you put in front of her. She has quite the appetite and is always saying she is hungry even after she eats a  large meal. Just to prove she is a good eater, One day we were at my grandparents and she ate 3 whole hot dogs. I was waiting for her to puke, but she didnt. Way to put them away, I cant even eat 3 hot dogs!

-She is a daredevil! She is not afraid of much and scares me to death most of the time. I certainly have to keep a close watch on her, because she will do whatever anyone else is doing!

-She LOVES- Her Wogan (aka Logan), Dora, reading books, her stuffed puppies, babies, her blankets, her daddy, Marshmallow cereal, water (she asks for it all the time), playing outside, kitties, shoes, and probably many other things that I cant think of right now.

She is definitely one of a kind and we are so happy that she is a part of our family!

Lunch Date

So we had the privilege while Tianna was here to get together and go to lunch at Applebee's with Jamie, Tianna and Owen. Being the lame photographer that I am the whole time that Tianna was here this is the only picture that I took. We sure enjoyed getting to spend a lot of time with her and Owen. Logan and Ashlee just love Baby Owen. In fact they ask almost everyday when we are going to have enough money to go see Tianna, Richard, and Baby Owen in Mississippi. Maybe one day we can make our way there. It sure would be fun and we are all in need of a good family vacation. 

Jamie, Logan and Ashlee
