Dirt, Dirt, and More Dirt

We took Jacoby camping this weekend and he loved it! He loved it because there was a ton of dirt everywhere for him to play with. He put a handful of dirt anywhere he could...the dogs, their water, the chairs, the trailer, the truck, mom, dad...you name it and it had dirt on it at some point. Of course, during the dirtying of camp, he had to rub his face and cloths too. Clean was a joke this weekend, but that's okay. He had a blast and was so good for us. He slept well, ate well and played well. It was a great time.


Yay dirt!




Friday night, Dominic took Jacoby up all by himself while I had time off with a friend! They did great, but I sure missed them. The first picture is when they first got there. Jacoby was so happy and so was dad!

Saturday Morning...still happy!

Saturday afternoon when I got there.

Good Morning!

Every morning when Jacoby wakes up, we get him a cup of milk and put him in our bed and turn on the Disney Channel. He just lays there and watches TV with me for about a half an hour, then he's up and ready to play. Morning snuggle time is the best!

Sprinklers!

We were trying to get some yard work done the other night and so we got the sprinklers out to keep Jacoby occupied. He loved them! He kept running right into the center and screaming and then he would turn around and run out. He had so much fun. It's official...I have the cutest little boy EVER! :)

Vegas!

I suck. I know I suck. I know that I promise to update my blog more, but I don't. Lately, picture taking is almost a chore and I apologize. Anyhoo, on with the update, finally! We went to Vegas over the 4th of July weekend. We had an absolute blast! It was hot, but not as hot as it has been in previous years. I think the high was only 105 and that was the last day that we were there. So, it wasn't too bad. Grandma and Grandpa Speer bought a kiddie pool for Jacoby and he loved it! Unfortunately, the only pictures that we got all weekend long were of Jacoby in his saggy "little swimmers" diapers or just running around. We really didn't get any pictures of anybody else. But, he looked so cute with his sun hat, sandals and a diaper. He absolutely loved playing outside in the rocks, dirt, grass and water. He didn't care how hot it was outside. His poor little cheeks would get rosy and he would start sweating down his neck, so we would wet him down. We tried to keep him indoors, but he wanted to be out.


Saggy Bum!
Dad just put a cookie in his mouth.
He was so stoic while playing in the dirt.
He claps to get the dirt off. He is just too cute.

Aw, so angelic!

Sorry that I didn't take more pictures. We really had a blast and I actually got to BINGO! Yay! Monte, Cyn, Domo and I went and played 11 pm Bingo and had kind of a date night. We didn't get home until 2 am, and Granpa Speer was the most awesome babysitter at 6 when Jacoby woke up. That was the first time since Jacoby was born that we have gone out that late, and we didn't have to get up with him! It was too bad that Grandma had to work over the weekend. We missed her. On the 4th, we sat outside and played cards and watched all of the fireworks from the casinos and then the illegal ones that the neighbors were setting off. Jacoby slept through the whole thing, but we sure enjoyed it. It was tons of fun and we were sad that we had to come home and be adults again. Can't wait to do it again!


Cheese!

Poor Monte was trying to nap and he had Jacoby and the dogs staring at him! Actually, he slept right through it. :)

Poor pouty baby...

Camping Pictures!

We went camping over the weekend and Jacoby was so cute! He loved the dirt and the rocks. He had an absolute blast making a mess all over the place. It rained on us the first day, but then it cleared up. I bought Jacoby a cute little sun hat, and I'm really glad that I did. The sun was very intense. I used Jacoby's baby sunscreen and I got fried! So, I'm very glad that I dressed him in long sleeves and a hat. I guess it's time to buy him some new sunscreen.


Jacoby loves Patty-cake. He's doing the roll it part right here.

Sitting is a new thing for him too. He sits on anything that is the right height. Right after I took this picture, the logs rolled and made him mad.


This was taken first thing in the morning and the wind was really blowing, so we bundled Jacoby up. It was probably overkill, but at least I didn't have to worry about him getting a chill.

Canyon Fun

Today we went up Providence Canyon just to get out of the house and enjoy a break in all of the rain that we've been getting. Jacoby has had another ear infection, so we haven't been out much lately. The poor dogs needed some exercise too! Everybody loved getting out, but the mosquitos were out in full force and we didn't have any spray, so we didn't stay long.






We brought my gun with us so I could practice shooting it (now that I'm licensed to carry it...). Dominic took Jacoby a little ways away behind me to play and the gunshots didn't seem to bother him at all.

He loved the tall grass!

A Few New Pictures of Jacoby

Hi All! Here are some new pictures that we've taken lately! Enjoy.

Jacoby and I were watching a movie and he just leaned into me and fell asleep. I love it when he does that.

Cheese!
