July 30th- Jacoby and I headed to Lind to see Matt and a bunch of friends.
August 2nd- Jacoby and I left Lind stopped in Moses Lake had lunch with Andrea and Jayden (she slept all through lunch, she is so darn cute!) We stopped in to see Eddie, Nicole and Little Eddie. The boys had so much fun playing together!
Now today August 13th- Matt will finally be coming home! He has been home for less than 72 hours since July 8th! I am so ready to have my husband back and I think Jacoby is ready to have his "dada" back!

I applied for and received a new position at the Casino, I am now a revenue auditor. I start my new position some time this next week.
We are still looking into the possibility of moving to Moses Lake area, I applied for a job at big bend community college and am waiting to hear back on that. Matt is still looking for a full time contract. We have our house on the rental market, and have had quite a few calls about it. A possible renter is coming to look tomorrow! If we rent out our house, and are not moving to moses lake, Im not sure where we will live! YIKES lots of plans but nothing for sure!

I will update as more things happen!

LIFE

LIFE is the only reason I have for waiting so long between posts! We have been so busy the past month, I just have not had the time!

Jacoby is now 9 .5 months old! Time has flown by so quickly, its hard to beleive in just 2 more months I will be getting ready for a 1 year old birthday party!

To sum up June, the first weekend was unenventful. The next weekend was the Lind Combine Derby, so we made the trek across the mountians to see all of our friends. This has become a great reunion for all of our college friends to get together and visit at least once a year! The Jaws combine did not do as great this year as they have in past years, but we still had a great time!

The next weekend June 19 and 20th, both Matt and I had bachelor and bachelorette parties to attend. Matt went to eastern washington (again) to celebrate with Jesse Taylor and Jake Fuesner. From what I have been told a great time was had by all. I went to Tacoma to celebrate with Aira, we had a great time at Chopstix, and maybe embarassed Aira a little bit!

Then it was Matts first fathers day. We had a nice little bbq with both families. Jacoby and I got matt a new bbq so we had to test it out.

Finally the last weekend in June put Matt working afternoons and evenings at boom city with his great Uncle and Aunt Vern and LaVerne. He really enjoyed his time out there and was able to use his salemen side to make a few sales. He said he will go back again next year.

For the 4th of July, Matt was working at Boom City then we went to with some friends to their friends house and had the best backyard fireworks show I have ever seen! We celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary on the 5th, with dinner at Diamond Knot Camano Lodge (pretty sure that is our new favorite place to eat!) After dinner we went and saw a movie. Jacoby was able to stay the night with Matts grandparents so we could enjoy our evening alone! We also bought new couches! LOVE THEM!

This past weekend we went to Kellogg Idaho to attend Amy Miller and Aaron Reimers wedding! The scenery was beautiful and the wedding was amazing! I failed to bring my camera along so I have no pictures. Staci Faw was their photographer and she took some great pictures of Jacoby Matt and I. She is sending them to me so I will post when I get them.

That brings us to the present. This weekend we will be attending Jesse Taylor and Aira Martinez's wedding in Fall City. More photos to follow after this weekend!

Jacobys first haircut

Ok so the pictures loaded in backwards order as to what I wanted but thats ok. You can see in this picture that Matt finally talked me into cutting Jacobys long baby hair that has been getting into his eyes for awhile now. He sat pretty good to allow me to grab what I wanted to cut and cut it but once it was over I think I cut it to short. Oh well, it will grow!

On Sunday I picked Jacoby up from Gramma and Papas (my parents). He was able to spend all weekend with them. On friday night Matt and I went to Kevin and Jessicas wedding, it was beautiful, and on Saturday we attended the Tulalip Boys and Girls Club Auction where donated a puppy. We had a great time, but greatly missed Jacoby. It may be a little while before I will let him out of my sights on a weekend!

I know my parents had a blast with him but my mom did ask, "How do you get anything done around your house?"

For Memorial day weekend we have no plans, Matt is coaching some baseball and Jacoby and I will most likely go watch just to get outside and in the sunshine!

Have fun and be safe!

Mothers Day 2010

I know I am a little bit late updating with moms day stuff but I figured better late than never! My mothers day was so relaxing! We got up and went out for breakfast with my mom and dad, had a great breakfast! Then we went home and Jacoby took a nap from 1130-145 so Matt and I decided to nap as well.

When we got up I wanted to go for a walk and we needed to be at Matts Grandparents by 3 so we decided to walk to their house. It was about a 3.5 mile walk round trip. Jacoby loved the stroller ride and would watch the cars go by.

This was also the first time he has really had a baseball cap on, and he loved it! He did not try to pull it off at all. I had my iphone playing music while we walked and he was singing away.

Had a great bbq at Dean and Ella's, I made Dean a birthday cake. It was a 3 layer checker board cake that was purple and yellow, as he is a huge Husky fan. But I could not get the "coug" out of me and the very center ring was crimson! He got a kick out of that!

Our Puppys are now 2.5 weeks old. Their eyes are open and they are starting to walk rather than crawl. We dewormed them this past friday night (pretty exciting I know!)

That pretty much sums everything up.

Cinco de Mayo

Yesterday was very uneventful. Baseball is offically over so Matt was able to pick Jacoby up from Marandas, and I was able to go straight home after work! Matt mowed the lawn and I did some laundry. Not to much going on. Jacoby was trying so hard to crawl while at Maranda's, and then even at home he was rocking on all fours! It won't be long and we will have a crawler! This morning I was feeling in Jacoby's mouth and on the bottom right hand side his gums have parted and are making way for his very first tooth! Hopefully I will have a picture soon to show everyone his tooth! For now here he is hanging out last night!

Puppies!

Last night Kahlua blessed us with 10 little puppies! We have 9 chocolates and 1 yellow. I am not sure on the sex break down yet, I will verify that when I get home tonight. They will be going in to the vet on Monday morning to get their dew claws removed and a check up!

On another note, Jacoby was trying so hard to crawl this morning, he scooted himself backwards 2 times! He was so active this morning it was pretty funny! Here is a picture of him playing with my flip flops and trying to get my purse!

Giving it a try

So I have been asked by many people if I would start a blog to document Jacobys growth and so they can keep track of what we have been up to. So I finally decided to give it a try. With that being said, I may not update this everyday but I will try to at least once a week and add in a new photo of Jacoby! Keep on checking back to see what is new with us!
