Jacob's First Haircut

Jacob lost a lot of his hair shortly after he was born. It took him a while to grow it back. Eventually his hair got so curly in the back that we decided it was time to get a haircut. We were a little anxious because we weren't sure how Jacob would react.

Jacob did so well! He didn't cry or scream at all and he barely even moved. He did so well that the stylist wants to cut his hair every month! Here are some pics. Enjoy!

Before the haircut

He did so well!

So freakin cute!

Choirboy

I am not sure how many of you know, but I love to sing. I was in the Phoenix Boys Choir for three years. I toured the western states, sang with the Boston Pops, and performed in countless concerts. Even though I did not continue singing in High School or College, I still sing in ward and stake choirs. I am not sure why I have not done more over the years. It could be that I was busy with school, work, family, or church callings. Maybe I was nervous about joining a choir after being away from a professional choir for so many years.

When a friend told me about a new choir, I honestly had the same first impression - it was not for me. After being bugged about it for a few weeks (and after several discussions with Shannon), I finally decided to audition. Last night was the audition and my first rehearsal. I felt like I had been musically famished for the past 14 years and was invited to a Thanksgiving feast! I look forward to developing my musical talents on Wednesday nights :)

8 Weeks and October!

8 weeks! Oh my! And I can't believe it's October already! We have such a busy month planned, I have a feeling the rest of this year is going to fly by! And before I know it Jacob will be two! What I'll have a two year old?!? Am I really that old? All I can say is as much as my body seems to hate being pregnant I'm glad I'm getting it over with! I'm exhausted. I don't remeber being this tired last time, well I do remember spending almost two months on a air mattress watching Man vs Wild, now, that show makes me feel sick.....But anyways I think I'm extra tired now because I have a head cold, and the pounding headache keeping me up at night isn't helping. Sorry I don't mean to be such a baby..... On a positive note I'm so lucky to have an amazing husband! He's like superman, he goes to work all day, gets his church callings done, goes the extra mile when asked and still has time for us. Yesterday when he got home he took Jacob to the park and then took him to the gym with him. Our gym has a daycare, and we take Jacob whenever we can so he can get out and play with kids. It was so nice to just lay in bed and rest. So anyways I know most people don't read all this stuff so here's the pictures.....


So here I am at 8 weeks, sorry I didn't put any make-up on....scary I know...I guess some little girl on the swings asked Matt, "Is that a baby girl?" I guess it's time we cut his hair, so sad I like his messy curls.....
Jacob loves apples! It's so cute so watch him learn new things, he thinks he's such a big boy.

Jacob and Rice

1+1=4

Can you guess what that means? I'll give ya some time.......Okay Okay, I'm pregnant. So we will soon be a family of 4! Well maybe not soon but in May. I'm due between May 11-13.... I have an ultra sound in a couple weeks so we should have a better due date. We are going do an all natural birth, at home in a pool of water....I know it sounds weird, but the more we've thought and prayed about it, it just seems right. At first we thought about this route because we have no maternity coverage with our crappy insurance. And we don't qualify for the state health care sooooo yeah. But we did our research and interviewed Midwifes, and now it's no longer about insurance. I'm all for it. I really believe our bodies can handle so much more. So anyways I want to make sure I take better pictures along the way of this pregnancy.... As of thursday I will be 7 weeks.....

So here I am at for 4 weeks......

And I took this picture so I could remember the "before" any baby bump...So please don't tell me i'm showing already, or I'll probably cry.... And Jacob just wanted to be in the picture.....

San Diego

A couple of weeks ago Jacob and I packed up and headed out to San Diego. We had so much fun playing at the beach. Here's a bunch of pictures, and yes it is a bunch.


We went down to the beach and had a dinner picnic, and the water was so nice. I love how these pictures turned out....



Grandpa and Jacob, I'm sure Grandpa was telling Jacob to watch out for the sand crabs, and how you don't want to get them in your pants.....

Jacobs first "swiss cake roll" He ate both of his, and then later found grandmas and stole it!
My sister and I celebrated our birthdays back in May, but my mom got us tickets to see "Wicked". And after waiting months to cash in our birthday presents, she took us out to dinner and then to the theater. We got some what dressed up, well dressed up for us....And my mom told us all about how when she used used to go to the theater, she'd wear her black velvet dress with crystal jewelry....



Jacob had so much fun, and we will be heading back out there next week for more fun in the sand!

Messy Baby

This is why I still spoon feed Jacob, he gets a little carried away with his food.......
