Three Good Buddies

Tis the season for boys. Our family started out with one nephew and 9 nieces. Then there were four boys to add to another five girls. Then three boys were born within 9 months of eachother. I have a feeling we're gonna be on our toes with these three. Their mischievous faces tell all!

Foster Scott -- 9 months

Tipton John -- 3 months

Cal Lewis -- 1.5wks

Grandma Turns 85

My cutest grandma turned 85 on May 30th. So, naturally, we celebrated. She sat up front for people to greet her in the beginning. But then she decided to get up with her walker and greet others as she cruised around the tables and chairs. It was pretty stinkin' cute!

Cute Grandma Jacobs

Little did I know my 85 yr old grandma and I would have the same shirt on. Must say she's got some good taste!

Grandma J and Scottino. This was a great picture of these two.

Just a Huggin'

Molly and her cousin Bella are just 5 wks apart and they are the best of buds......as long as we don't outstay are welcome. They will just hug and hug and remain hugging for me to get the camera and get it all set up. They are too cute!!!!

Cousin, Trais, was pretty cute to stand right in front of the girls while posing. He wanted to be apart of the photo opp. but didn't want the hugging part.

No music, but that didn't stop them from dancing.

It's a Boy

After 4 girls, my sister and her husband finally had a boy. Cal Lewis was born May 18th. We were fortunate enough to go to her baby shower.

Rarrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

Random

Just sharing a few random posts.

Messy kitchen. Just had gone grocery shopping and was trying to organize our pantry. What a task.....moving these cans forward and those behind...yada yada! Of course, I had great help from Molly!

Morning hair....her pillow does wanders. All of her old toys that I bring out for Foster, Molly thinks are hers again. Little big for this one!

Yes, our little man is crawling. He's been crawling a while now, and boy does he cruise. He doesn't like the hard on his knees so here he is up on all four.

Crazy Girl

I had a whole bunch of new pictures to post......went to download the photos (there were about750 on our camera, so it was going to take a few minutes), thought I had downloaded them all, deleted them all off the camera, then went to view the pictures and all but 100 had imported........needless to say, they were all LOST! Arghhhh! I was totally bummed.

Then I was looking at our blog and realized it had been quite some time since our last post, so here are just a few random shots of tonight. I love the age Molly is in (most days) She has been cracking us up ALOT. She says the most random things.

The other day I asked her a few questions just to see how she would answer.....

Molly, how old is your mom? .......5

How old is your dad?.........5

What does your dad do at work?..........fixes cars!

Molly, what is your name?.........Molly and Walton (her middle name is Ann)

Molly had gotten ready to take a bath (no clothes on), I was getting ready to go outside and water the garden and asked her if she wanted to come. I said, if she wanted to, she needed to get some clothes on. I went outside and started watering when she comes out the back door looking like this. Look close and you can see, shorts on backwards, bracelets, and no chonies (spell check). I started laughing pretty hard, that's when she knew she was too stinkin cute and decided to start posing. Camera quick!

Our lovely garden. We still have yet to get our soaker hoses in place. Just me watering for now. We are excited for next year to do a better job. It's a live and learn year for us this time. We hope it produces enough salsa ingredients though. It's our salsa garden with a few others.

How many funny things can a 2 year old do in one night? I was coming down the stairs just in time for her coming up the stairs and saw this. Scott and I tried to show "mad faces" but how can you not laugh at this? Didn't Picasa draw on himself? Love our little Molly!!!! We do we do!

Easter

Living by my motto........better late than never. So here are a few pictures from our Easter basket finding. It was fun having Scott's family here for Easter. The Easter Bunny even left baskets for them.

Molly was a little excited to see what she got.

Lovin' the chocolate

Oops, forgot about the gift that couldn't fit in the Easter basket. Lately Molly has LOVED playing doctor with my stethoscope, so we decided to get her very own.

Easter

Nothing like a month late for Easter photos.

Molly 2 yrs 8 mo, Foster 8 mo

Must say.......pretty cute kids

Better Face Expressions

Just a few more facial expressions from the sour lime. Thing is, he wasn't crying at all. These photos were taken about 1/3 of a second a part. Great captures by Mike.

This is when he was coming after Mike....Karate Kid

Mean Parents

We had a lime sitting around and decided to see if Foster liked them. Are we mean?

Happy boy before the taste test

Does that mean he doesn't like it?

So, let's try again.....

What one will do....

O.Kay, so you can't tell how cold it is outside. I had a training run last Saturday and woke up to snow........I didn't feel like running 9 miles on a treadmill so bundled up I got and out I went. It wasn't blizzarding (thank goodness), but the snow was hitting my face making it somewhat difficult to see. After it was all said and done......it really wasn't that bad. It's looking outside and being warm inside that makes for a tough decision. If you look close, you can see snow on my hat. Thank goodness for water resistant coats......I stayed pretty dry for the most part.

The Fos

Just a few pictures of Foster. He's such a good baby. We still love him to pieces. Can't believe how much he's changed in the past few months. If you look close, HE'S GOT HAIR!!!!! He has way more than Molly had at this age........sad huh!

Just too cute to not post. Who wouldn't fall in love with those eyes.

He's been watching me do yoga......Locust pose!

This is what Foster did at the Easter Egg Hunt!

The Hunt

Some friends from church put together an Easter Egg Hunt. It was a bit early, but this was the best time. The weather didn't cooperate, so we held it indoors at the church. It worked great. Molly's cousin Megan, got to participate. I think they had fun.

This is a zoomed in picture. There were quite a few kids there. The blonde behind Molly is her new friend, Kendall. They are about 2 mo apart, but both are ALL girl!

Oops......nothing in the bucket......

Molly and Megan, already eating the goods.

Cousins

The best shot we could get of a 17 month old boy........camera is not fast enough for him.

Molly, Megan, Luke with Megan's only 2 girl cousins

Luke is 100% boy. He even can't figure out how to put a headband on.

New Grandma

While pulling up to Chris's parents house, Molly kept saying....."we're at grandma's house". We tried to explain that it was Megan's grandma.......she didn't care. Shelly is a grandma and that was all that mattered. She must've read the sign in the front flower beds that said, "grandchildren spoiled here." As you can see, Molly and Megan's cousin, Hailey, loved "grandma". Thanks Shelly for being a great grandma to ALL.

For Lisa

My sister-in-law, Lisa's, husband brought their two youngest kids out here to Utah for a week while he had a conference. He's staying with his parents and we got to see them last night and tonight. I thought Lisa might be missing them all so here are a few photos for her. Sorry Lisa, after getting home, I realized we didn't have any great ones of the three of them. We got to celebrate an early 4th birthday with Megan tonight. She made quite the haul for a small gathering.

Yep, grandma was feeding him again......

Green Dinner

I got this yummy drink recipe on-line:

2 c lime sherbet

2 c milk (skim worked fine)

6 oz frozen limeade

Mix together till frothy and pour into glasses.

Add 7-up to fill glass. Add small scoop of lime sherbet and lime for garnish.

Pesto Pasta with Asparagus, red and orange bell peppers. Super yummy!

St. Patrick's Day

This is Molly's new friend Kendall. We had her and her brother Cooper and Molly's cousin Trais and friend Abby come over for cookie decorating and green lunch today. This was the only picture I got. Can you believe it? You'd think I was busy doing other things the whole time. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. We had green applesauce, green grapes, green pears, brown chicken nuggets and red catsup. The moms had green spinach salad with pears, avocados, almonds and craisins. It's always fun to celebrate anything. It was so nice out today that the kids ate outside and decorated their cookies outside (easy clean-up).

Early Celebration

We invited some new friends over for a day early St. Patrick's Day Celebration on Monday. First one gal made up a poem about shamrocks and read it to the kids with her homemade poster and everything. Then they colored and finally finger painted. It was a lot of fun.
