Playing in the Snow

We finally got out to build Molly's first snow man. She wasn't much help but she sure loved it. She actually just ate snow while we build Frosty. (I think she's eating snow again in this picture).

The first one is a bit blury, but I just love the intensity.

It's starting

Last Wednesday, Molly decided to dress herself. This is what she chose and the order in which it was put on.

I walked into her room to find her struggling to put her "under" shirt over the top of her "over" shirt and climbing on the chair to get her boots down. Brown boots with her black, lounge cotton pants. She insisted on going to Walmart in this outfit. I put a jacket over top so you couldn't see her shirts at least. Chose your battles right? Cassidy, she's gonna need some advice on fashion!

Cookie Decorating

Monday, February 9th, we had a few moms and kids over for cookie decorating. It was lots of fun. I think the kids enjoyed eating the frosting more than frosting the cookies.

Our new friends, Kendall, Cooper and Jamie and miss Molly of course

Silly girl

Nap Time

The other day it was time for Molly to get ready to nap. She was in there for a while before I could get up there and properly put her down. She kept telling me, "shhhhhh, my babies are sleeping". When we got up to her room I saw what she was talking about. It was quite cute. She put her princess dolls, bear, and "Bella" to bed, tucked in and everything. Too funny that little girl is.

Who's toy is it?

We got this little baby holder out the other day and Molly jumped right into it. As you can see, she doesn't quite fit. She enjoys this and the Jolly Jumper more now than she did when she was the age she should've been in them. Foster loves them too. They are quite nice and handy to have when I'm trying to get things done.

Treehouse Museum

We met a few new friends and my sister at the Treehouse Museum in Ogden a few weeks ago. It was a huge place with a huge treehouse right in the middle with stairs winding up and other various activites for the kidos. It was pretty fun.

Molly and cousin Trais, aka Fire Fighters

After story time, they let the kids make a bear mask and painted their faces. Molly enjoyed it.

Attempt #2

The second attempt was much better. Scott did it this time, so maybe that was part of the reason. He knew that's all he had to offer, so he accepted. As you can see from the pictures, he was loving it and still quite happy.......course, when he is he not happy?

First Foods

We attempted to start Foster on Rice cereal a few weeks ago. Our first attempt was not successful. However, the second time worked much better.

Guess he didn't know what was coming. He was so happy before.

First taste...........hmmmmmm, not so yummy

Yes, he tried pushing my hands away. Not a fan.

Before

Well, we'd had enough of the old, small bathroom. So, we decided to improve it a bit. Couldn't change the size of the whole bathroom, but we could do something about the short small vanity and old three way mirror (one side didn't even open because it was crammed against the wall). We tore everything out one night then went to work. Should I say, Scott went to work and ordered me around in between taking care of the house, kids and meals. It was an every night when he got home from work project and part of Saturday to finish.

The vanity came up to the middle of my thighs (maybe a little higher) and there wasn't much space for putting things on the sink counter.

Here's the hard working man doing what he hates most.........plumbing.

We got these knee pads for Christmas from Scott's brother and sister-in-law. I don't think they knew they would come in handy for remodeling the bathroom.

After

Scott did an amazing job on the whole bathroom. He's quite the handy man. He didn't even hit any important pipes or wires while doing it.

The new vanity and sink. It's such an improvement from the original. We are so glad to have it and the storage it provides.

The finished product!

Flirty Aprons

Scott's mom sent these cute flirty aprons for Molly and I. We absolutely LOVE them. Almost too cute to wear to cook in. Mary, thanks for the thoughtful Christmas gift.

Grandma Jacobs

Here are just a few pictures of my wonderful grandma. Like I said earlier, she and my grandpa were married almost 66 years. This woman is a great example to all. She truly is admirable in every way. She's been staying with my aunt in Washington and boy do we miss her. She has a cute blog of her own and checks her grandkids blogs weekly. She is quite the grandma. So, here's a little tribute to her. (Pictures are from November, but still shows the beauty in this woman)

4 Generations (my cute mom, cute grandma, cute daughter and me)

Sweet sweet lady

My grandpa was a horse lover so there was nothing short of perfect with the way the casket was taken to the cemetery. Horse and buggy with his horse following behind.

There were about 20 cousins that couldn't make it to the funeral. What a great legacy of John and Dorothy Jacobs.

Grandpa Jacobs

This has been a long time coming. I just wanted to post some pictures of my awesome grandpa who passed away November 2. It was a bit of a shock, but he lived a long and wonderful 84 (85 in January) years. I am proud and honored to be a part of his legacy. He and my grandma have been married 65 (66 in April) years. Highschool sweethearts. This post is more for my family, but all of you are welcome to look. He was a great example of showing love and support and we all miss him dearly.

Always a smile and some sort of hat upon his head. He loved and lived life to the fullest.

I will never forget the bit of food left around his lips and never having it bother me when we kissed good-bye. He's the greatest grandpa around.

When I was little he always called me "little bird". One day I said, "well if I'm little bird, that makes you big bird." Here's to you, big bird!

The petting zoo after the safari drive

Scott is out of town, kids are asleep and I finally get a chance to blog a few pictures. Sorry to do so many at once. Make sure you have a few minutes to browse.

After the safari drive, we walked around another part of the zoo and found this little monkey. Must say she was one of the cutest.

Molly and Leah are about 6 months apart. This was just too cute to pass up.

Cousin Emily, just being Emily.....cute and photogenic

More animals

More safari pics

Molly, along with all the other kids, totally enjoyed feeding these animals wood pellets. Well, they looked like wood pellets. It was really cool to see some up close.

Closer than you get to the zebras in the zoo.

Just a cute kid with a big buffalo in the background

Animal Safari

I think Tuesday we headed to the Animal Safari. We piled into a 14 passenger zebra painted van and headed out into the "wild". The van windows were busted out and bars placed in to keep the animals from being able to get all the way into the van. You can rent theirs zebra vans or drive your own in. We were glad to have theirs slobbered on. Here are some photos of the animals.

As you can see (if you look close) we're glad to have the rented van. Wouldn't want that drool in my window....yuck!

Still at the Gardens

Molly practicing her smile
