to the doctor it is

Well, Jacobs temperature tonight was 103.2!!!!!!! So it was another cold bath (which he did NOT like - who could blame him) and popsicle's and jello for dinner. He looks miserable and just lays on the sofa. I hope he isn't getting the flu. It seems odd in the middle of the summer....

So, we are heading to the doctor tomorrow morning at 10am.

I will update then.

sick

My baby is sick=( It has been a long while since he has been sick, with the exception of minor colds and such. But today, he has a fever... 102.6 to be exact. If he keeps it up he will buy himself a trip to the doctor. We'll see what his temperature is when he wakes up from his nap. I have already given him Tylenol, Motrin and 2 cool baths today. Please send prayers our way that he feels better by Friday, as we are headed to Destin=)

Mommy, Jacob, and ice cream!!!

We had another good weekend. Jacob and I went in to town on Friday afternoon for an old friends wedding. The bride and I were friends in grade school. I have not seen her since Mike and I were married in 2003! She had never met Jacob. He had an absolute blast. Considering we were out until 10:00pm, he was an angel the whole night. For some reason he was insistent on dancing and kept persisting until I finally told him, go ahead baby, go out on the dance floor and dance. He went out there all by himself and danced for a solid 15 minutes. No one else was dancing! Everyone was watching him. One guy video taped him for about 5 minutes and I saw others taking pictures!! I hope I get a copy from my friend, because being the good mother that I am..I left my camera in the car=( He even woke up on Saturday morning and told my mom (we stayed at her house for the night) that he needed his shirt, his tie, and his dancing shoes!!! I did get one picture of us all dressed up before the big night.... Saturday was a day of shopping for my mom and I. Jacob went to his great grandparents house for the afternoon. He is always super tired when he leaves their house....thanks Granny and Grandpa!!!
Saturday evening we returned home to meet up with Mike and go out to dinner.

Today we went to church, then worked out in the yard pretty much all day. About mid afternoon, Jacob heard the ice cream truck and wanted a cool treat. So we flagged down the truck as it drove down the street and purchased a $2.00 ninja turtle pop. (OK, when I was little I KNOW ice cream from the ice cream man was totally under a buck, and ninja turtles were popular back then because my brother had all of the action figures. I am not THAT old!!!)
Shoving it all in before it melts
All done!!!
Up to no good...(doesn't he look like he is plotting an evil scheme!)

who....me??
notice the stick hanging from his shirt....can we say 'all boy'
trying to clean up
is this necessary?!?!?!?

Before I was a mom...

Before I was a Mom I made and ate hot meals. I had unstained clothing. I had quiet conversations on the phone. Before I was a Mom I slept as late as I wanted. And never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday. Before I was Mom I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to lullabies. Before I was a Mom I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom I had never been puked on, pooped on, spit on, peed on, or pinched by tiny fingers. Before I was a Mom I had complete control of my mind, my thoughts, my body and all my feelings. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a Mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important. Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was OK. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom...Author Unknown

Art is in the eye of the beholder

Today, since daddy is not home and there isn't much to do as it is 92 degrees outside, Jacob and I decided to do an art project. I purchased this little airplane with the paints for $1.00 at a craft store!!!!!! I think I may have to go back and get some more, he really enjoyed it. We had to put it together and then paint it. Very good for a future rainy day project=)
What is with this face!?!?!? Look at his little furrowed brow! There's my silly boy.

Blackmail!!!!

I took this picture today of my sweet unassuming little man. Little does he know that one day, his girlfriends will likely see it=) ps- NO I did NOT pose him for this nor did I ask him to smile!

not much going on around here...

Well, the title says it all. We havent had too much action the last few days. I had to work 3 nights in a row this week because of the holiday this weekend.

Mike and Jakey went to get fireworks this afternoon and Jacob is SO excited to pop them. We are going to celebrate our 4th tomorrow night (on the 3rd) because Jacob is going to Grancies' house for the weekend. Oh my, a whole weekend without my baby, I don't know if I can handle it, it is the first time he will be away for that long without Mike and I being in another state!

Hopefully I can get up some good pics from our celebration tomorrow night and Friday during the day. We are going to Mike's uncles house to BBQ and swim=) I think I might make some of my famous oreo balls...YUM!
