About a month ago, Jacob started shaking his head. He does it now all the time when he's excited or happy. It's so funny to watch, but sometimes we wonder if it's a good thing ...
It's been a rough week. Matt's car broke down and we had to get it fixed. He's been working from home since Wednesday. And then last night I had the scariest night of my life.

Matt went to bed around 10:00 pm and I stayed up to watch TV. All of a sudden I felt something on my leg. I went to scratch it, but realized that it was something inside my pajama pants. I got them off as quick as I could, but my leg was already starting to throb. It was a scorpion sting!

I tried not to freak out, but Matt wouldn't wake up even after screaming at him. Matt finally got up after I smacked him with a pillow. He couldn't understand what was going on because I was having a panic attack. He killed the scorpion and I had to call my doctor immediately. He told me to take Benadryl at night and 800 mg Ibuprofen during the day for the pain. He said it would last around 3 days. It still hurts, but I think I'll be OK.

Here are some pictures of the scorpion.


It was so SMALL! I'm not letting Jacob out of his Pack 'n Play for a while now.

Jacob and Shannon having fun!

So today I was bored and decided to go to the scrapbook store, and get some fun embellishments for Jacobs scrapbook. While I was there I came across these super cute letters, and they were only 50 cents a piece! When I bought them they where solid brown, It took me about an hour to make them look so cute.....Jacob was just crawling around around making a huge mess. And then my wonderful husband cleaned up the mess when he got home from work......I was going to do it myself, but while I was being crafty, Jacob messed his diaper and his clothes.....so I had to put in him the tub, clean the poop off the carpet and pick up my mess before Matt got home. But anyways here are my lovely letters! I used some double sided sticky foam and stuck them on the wall, so you see them right when you walk into our home.............


A couple weekends ago we went to Rocky Point, Mexico. We had so much fun! We went with some of Matts family, and some of my family. The weather was great, although the first day was super windy!! One day at the pool it blew some of the chairs into the water...including some of our stuff! But I thought I'd share some pictures....enjoy!

Jacob is table dancing...he's trying to get us free drinks!
Also a balloon guy came by and made Jacob a little doggy.

They have the best tacos ever!
