Cutest Piggy Bank EVER!

Jackobi is such a lucky little girl! Her Aunt Camille sent her seriously the cutest piggy bank I've EVER seen! She loved it so much that when I took it from her to put on her dresser she cried. :)



We already taught her how to put her money in! She loves to hear it 'jingle' ... after a couple tries she could actually get the money in the slot by herself!





Uh oh ... she's her mothers daughter! She's already trying to figure out how to get her coins out! Good thing the little plug in the bottom is pretty snug!



Thanks for the adorable piggy bank Aunt Camille! Jackobi loves it! (Even thought we do make her keep it on her dresser now :)

Uncle Casey ...

Jackobi LOVES her uncles!! This week Casey came over and Jackobi would NOT leave him alone. It was pretty cute. I had to post a couple pictures ... she's so funny. Right after this, she literally stole his pillow. That's right, she lifted up his head, and snuck hers in ... too funny! Teach him to 'steal' her pillow!

Jackobi's One Year Pictures

We got some of Jackobi's cute 1 Year pictures back and I couldn't help but post them ... I think they turned out darling!

Happy HEART Day!

We hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day! We sure did!!

FRIDAY the 13th!!

So, I couldn't think of anything for the title ... so Friday the 13th it is! I think it's so funny how some people get totally superstitious about this day ... not me though! Our Friday the 13th was great (maybe because I wore black ... isn't that supposed to get you good luck??)

We took Jackobi in for some ONE YEAR pictures today ... for those of you who know Jackobi, she's pretty shy. And today was NO EXCEPTION! I'm not even sure if we got ONE with a smile! She wasn't having it! I'm supposed to get my proofs on Monday, so if she's in a good mood we might venture to the studio and snap a few more! Wish us luck!


Then we went to Minico's last home wrestling match of the season. It was Senior night, so Kegan got to do the little parade with his mom. It's so crazy to think I babysat this boy when he was just a baby! (Man, I feel OLD saying that!!)


It was great, he won both matches. Pinned his first guy and by points in OVERTIME for the second. It was a really intense match to watch!


Our good friends Chris and Sara were in town so came over and spent the night with us! They brought over some yummy Guadalajara Mexican food and we all just hung out. Jackobi officially decided that she love them and it was so cute to see her play with them. It's so good to have such great friends!

ONE YEAR OLD!!

It's so hard to believe that our little girl is ONE YEAR OLD today! Time has flown and it's amazing how much she has learned and grown. It's hard for Nate and I to remember what life was like before we held the 'daddy' and 'mommy' titles, not near as fun, that's for sure!! Jackobi is a ball of fire and has such a strong personality! She lets you know when she's happy and REALLY lets you know when she's not! Her favorite thing to do is READ! She loves to be read to and if you leave her alone in her room, most time you'll come back in and find her with a book. A lot of times it's upside down, but she still loves it! Jackobi can walk now, but still crawls when she wants to get anywhere fast. She will go 10 - 15 steps before she decides to either stop and play with something or crawl to her destination! Such an independent little girl! Lately she likes to wash her own feet in the bath ... rub in her own lotion ... and she'll even try to dress herself! Funny girl! She's a champ at eating and loves food! She has 9 teeth and one more on the way! We feel so incredibly blessed that we have her in our lives and can't even imagine life without her! She is a tremendous blessing in our lives and makes us so happy! We love you so much Jackobi!

Jackobi's First Year!!

Jackobi's FIRST Birthday Party!!

Jackobi hasn't officially turned ONE YEAR OLD yet ... her birthday is Tuesday, but we decided to have her big party this weekend so it was easier for all of our friends and family to attend! It was a great day!

Tutu girl! Look at those chubby little legs! I love it!
Here she is checking out her gifts ... she still isn't into ripping off the paper quite yet, but did pretty good with the first few!!


Jackobi and Anna Leigh are sharing her new chair ... they both fit in there pretty good!!



Tinilyi and Emaiya were so much fun to have at the party! They played so good in Jackobi's room and even cleaned up when they were done! I'll have to have them come and teach Jackobi that in a year or so!

First birthday CAKE!!
So cute ... she looks like she's just listening to us sing to her!!

She LOVED the frosting more than anything!

All of her yummy goodies before the party started!

Saturday was such a great day! Thanks everyone for coming! We were missing a couple of Aunt and Uncles, but luckily we'll be able to see them soon!

( I couldn't resist making a smilebox! Enjoy!)

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

She's Bubba.s Neice ...

Do you see the resemblance?? Well ... Jackobi has been really good about playing with her toys in her room. I didn't know she inherited her mess making skills from her uncle Bubba! Her mess is much smaller, but so is she! I can only wait to see if her messy playing habit grows with her!

Super Bowl @ The Prices!

Well, two years running we've spent the Super Bowl with the Prices ... I'm pretty sure it's becoming a tradition (especially since their TV is MUCH bigger than ours!) We had so much fun hanging out and watching the football game!

Kenzie was our Post Game entertainment ... a very cute Hannah Montana performance ... she came up with her own lyrics too!

"What ... I'm a bunny??"

Kenzie had these cute little bunny ears ... don't they look adorable on Jackobi!?

To entertain the girls during the game Kenzie got out the Twister board. Jackobi loved the colorful circles and Kenzie twisted herself all up!

Thanks for having us over JP and Ash! We always have a great time w. you guys!

Quarter Century Club!!

Well ... it's official! This Saturday I joined the Quarter Century Club! That's right, I'm half way to fifty! Yikes!! I'm really not too worried about it though!

Here's my little family on my 25th birthday!

Opening presents is so much more fun with a little one helping out! You can tell Jackobi is in wrapping paper heaven!


Me and my sweet little girl ...

Ashley made me a YUMMY birthday cake! Thanks Ash! It tasted MUCH better than what Nate would have 'whipped' up! AND it saved me from having to clean up the kitchen afterwords!!

I had such a wonderful birthday! Thanks everyone for your calls, cards and texts! You're the best!
