Cutie Pie

We had some beautiful weather this weekend around here. Jacob loves to pose for the camera and anytime I have one in my hand (which seems to be a lot) he starts smiling and saying "smile". Here he was cheezin before church and then being all cute for the camera at BW3's. It was a busy weekend. We did church Saturday then on Sunday we headed to Jeff's parents lake cottage (weekend retreat) for a big shindig. I do believe 25 racks of ribs were on the order. 4 neighbors (houses) participated in the cookout and each invited their own clans to join them. BBQ were had by all... of course except me. Since my pancrease is still "sick" I have to eat very low fat. Unfortunately... ribs aren't on my menu. My mother in law bought special food for me and I had grilled chicken, mashed potatoes (without butter), and green beans. It was yummy. The one bite of ribs I stole from Jeff were wonderful though! Deffinately could have indulged in more. But alas, I refrained. Then Monday... the big holiday we did some work outside, hung out as a family, did some diaper shopping ($$), and ended the day with dinner at the Old country Buffet for Mike B's birthday. There were 20 people for dinner. It was nice and I think Mike enjoyed himself.

Back to the diaper issue. we are working on potty training around our house again. I am feeling more up to it these days and I'm tired of paying boo-ku bucks for diapers. That's my rant for today. Stay tuned for more pictures from this weekends big cookout!

Jacob Lately

The other night Jacob fell asleep in the car on the way home from Lisa & Jesse's house. When we brought him in he was insistant that he needed a drink but couldn't stay awake to enjoy his cup of milk. There is nothing more peaceful than watching your child sleep. Too cute !!

Jacob loves to watch "the singing show" so he was all excited about the finals. Here, he pulled his little chair directly in the center of the TV and was watching David Cook rock out. He was up past his bedtime but was well behaved and happy so he watched the whole show.
