Christmas 2009

Well it has been a great year! No ER visits, no vehicle accidents, no major anything. Just a few colds here and there and that is about it! We have been pretty healthy around here and it has been great! I am tired of paying medical bills and tired of talking to Insurance Co's. So we have been blessed this year. We hope that everyone has a WONDERFUL 2010 year!

Christmas was good this year! We got lots of fun things and so did the kids. On Christmas Eve, my parents came down in the afternoon and gave the kids their gifts a little earlier which was nice. They had fun with them. Thanks mom and dad! That night we headed over to Tony's parents to have a nice dinner and decorate cookies and open presents. The Girls got Princess dress ups and a movie. Blake got Transformers and Tony got a jacket he wanted from Cabela's and I got a Tommy Black sweater and a Tommy Levi jean jacket and socks! It was fun! thank mom and dad Jacobsen. Tony and I also got a gift card from Heidi and Kyle! Thanks!! On Christmas Day, we slept until the kids woke up around 7:30 then opened our presents that we got the kids. They got ponies, hats, clothes and Blake got transformers, bakogauns....lot's of fun stuff. Tony got me a red puffer coat and I got tony a nice tie and a long sleeve button shirt. That afternoon we headed over to my parents to have a wonderful luncheon brunch with my 2 sisters. My parents gave Tony a dutch oven and Me a vinyl lettering machine that I am way excited about. It's way better than a Cricut! We got spoiled this year. it's been great!
We are glad that Tony has a job and that I work one night a week. It's been fun around here! We are just living life and playing and having fun! Watching our kids grow! Blake is still loving Kindergarten, Marissa is still her own self and wants to do what she wants to do and Jaci...she just follows everyone else around wanting to do what they are doing!
We hope everyone had a MERRY CHRISSTMAS! and have a WONDERFUL NEW YEAR!

FaMiLy PiCtUrEs- NOV 2009

So my good friend from High School was doing a Fundraiser Photoshoot to help pay for the adoption of her new little baby boy that she will be getting soon! The First part of Nov. we went to Memory Grove Park and we got some family Pict. Done. they really turned out great and I am WAY happy for them. Thanks Britt!!! Anyway's....Jaci was the only one being a peel....but now I know why......She is a mommy's girl and come to find out....she has a double ear infection and who knows how long it has been going on for. So I am hoping now she gets better and we don't have to do tubes again this spring. She has already had 2 ear infections since her tubes came out in July...so cross your fingers she will get better and stay better. I can't handle a crying 2 yr old every day. It's getting tiresome!!
We have all been doing great! Tony has been really busy at work lately and my work....well...it's been slower, which is nice. A lot of sore throats and sinus stuff going around also...bronchitis and coughs! I am still working 1 night a week on Wednesday's and also 1 Saturday a month. It has been nice. It gets me out of the house!! I just got a new calling in church. I am now the 2nd Counselor in the R.S. Presidency. It has been nice so far. I am in charge of Enrichment's so now I have to get my brain working and be creative. If any of you have had some fun Enrichment's... Please let me know!
This year, I have put together a Sub for Saata for a family and have had lots of help with it. It has really been fun going shopping for this family. It has really lifted my spirits and It's been fun! I hope the family will love the stuff that I have gotten them! It's all way cute and I am way excited to give it to them!
Today we cleaned our tile. Holy Cow was it dirty. It looks soooo much cleaner now. It brightens our kitchen so much! Tony's parents have a carpet cleaner that cleans carpet, but we have used it to clean our tile and it makes wonders. We also bought some tile cleaner and also a steamfast mop! It looks great! I am way impressed with how clean my tile is. now I can keep my tile clean and not have it look dirty all the time and dirt in the little grooves!!
Here are the pict. from our photoshoot!

ThanksGiving!

So this year for ThanksGiving, we spent most of the afternoon at Tony's parents home with all of his siblings! It was fun to just relax and not do anything! We had GREAT food. It was all Yummy and the Pie's were FANTASTIC!!! Good Times we had. The kids made cute little Turkey hats that Julie had brought for them to do as a craft and Heidi and Heather have Wii stuff and Rock Band sutff, we all the kids played and took turns and also most of the adults.! Well...I didn't. I took Pictures, but Tony even tried it out and had fun!! We had a fun time this year! On my side of the family, it was at my Aunt's house in Sandy, and we didn't want to drive down there. so we just stayed at Tony's Parent's house all afternoon. It was fun! We had great THANKSGIVING!!

Here are also some pictures of Marissa and Jaci's haircut. Marissa's is short, and better short. Jaci...It is just layered a little bit and blended in, Thanks to my awesome Cousin!!!! Hope everyone has a Great Holiday Season!

Stuff that has been going on!

So there has been a lot that has been going on at our house lately within the last couple of weeks. 1st of all, we have al been sick. It all started with Blake who got a cold and lost his voice and also got a cough. It wasn't too bad. Low grade fever with coughing, lasted for abut a week. When he was on the tail end of that Marissa got it but she vomited for 1 whole day and actually did good and told me when she was going to and did it in a bucket. She also had a low grade fever and then lost her voice. When she was on the tail end of that, then Jaci decided to get it and also vomited, but didn't do so well doing it in the bucket. She also lost her voice and was miserable with a low grade fever. Needless to say, when she was on the tail end of that.....I decided to get what they all had and i was miserable. I wanted a Phenregren shot at 2:00 AM in the morning so that I could sleep and not vomit every hr. It was bad. We are all finally better after missing 3 weeks of church. Glad it just wasn't the flu.
Marissa and Jaci both got new hair cuts. Marissa needed one bad and her hair short...is just so much better. I went to Great Clips and the girl there who did it....just didn't do it short enough for me and it looked uneven, so I took her the next day to Dollar cuts and they made it cutier and better. Dollar cuts is the best for little girls! (Kari did a great job, so ask for her!). Marissa decided that Jaci also needed a hair cut she while I was in the bath and they were suppose to be outside helping tony with the leaves, I guess they came in and Marissa gave Jaci a haircut. It was in a ponytail tucked under, so she just kinda cut the hair that was tucked under. It really wasn't that bad...but I called my cousin who is a beautician and asked her if she would just fix it and she did by blending it and giving her some swoop bangs. It looks good, so thanks Jess.
I have been working a little more. I have been working the lat couple of saturday's which is nice and gives me a few more hrs and Tony is home to watch them, so it makes it nice. I think the flu is winding down now. Not so many now. Mt kids are going to get their 2nd shot next tuesday.
I put up my christmas tree and decorations. Call me crazy...but i was in the mood, and it wasn't gong to be put up if I didn't do it then. I figured we already had Thanksgiving anyways...because we did it with my moms side of the family before my bro and sister n law left to go back home. So i figured I wanted it up to enjoy it longer. It has been fun. I let the kids decorate it this year by themselves. Isn't that what christmas is all about anyways...??
Other than that, we have just been hanging out and Annie has been getting all the christmas presents done. Only a few more and then I will be done. It has been fun this year. I am excited for it all. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas. So much service to give and help out with! It's great!!
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Merry Thanksgiving. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season! here are some pictures of our tree!

Halloween 2009!

this week has been a long week of sickness at my house. First it started with Marissa getting sick Tuesday and vomitting all day but was better the next day with no fever at all. Then Blake was getting sick with a little low grade fever with coughing then jaci decided to vomit twice in one night but was better the next day!......oh...what a week. and Today, saturday halloween, Blake is still hoarness and his cough is getting better. he was wheezing and hard time breathing at night and had a dry seal cough.....it was bad to the point where I had to take him outside to breath the cold air in! He is better! Hopefully by next week.....we can be better at my house! I hate having sick kids, it is the worse. It is just going to be a long winter with all the germs that are going around! good luck to you all!! Here are some pictures of halloween!

Mowing lawn

So I believe this was our last at mowing the lawn. The kid sure had fun with it! We had to run the lawn mower out of gas, so when Tony got done, he let Blake push it around till it was out of gas! Maybe one of these years he will be old enough and big enough to actually mow the lawn!! They had fun following Tony around the back lawn! What funny kids I have!

Today (Oct. 26TH) My Hubby turned 30 yrs old. I am so glad that he is my husband and we have 3 beautiful children together! He is an amazing father and husband. He was suppose to be hunting at my brother n law ranch for Deer, but he shot one and left it there for the others. SO my dad drove him to salina where his mom picked him up! I am glad that he was home for his birthday. To celebrate, he already had the day off so as a family we went to Chucky Cheese and had a fun time with the kids!

Jaci 2 yr Pictures!

Here are some pict. of Jaci's 2 yr. Photos. My sister n law took them! It was a challenge to get her to smile, but we did it! They turned out fabulous! Thanks Kristi, You always do such an amazing job at picture taking!

H1N1 Vaccination!

So today, since the had the H1N1 Clinic at the Bntfl. Regional Cntr. I decided to take my kids there and get them vaccinated. It was very busy and many, many people already there at 9:30 when I got there. I was at the back of the line and it wrapped around the building and then by about 1/2 it wrapped around the building again! It was crazy. I knew it would be crazy and a lot of people there, but I really didn't imagine that many people. Oh Well. My kids are vaccinated now, so I am happy!! They did the mist on Blake and Marissa and the shot on Jaci. I did't get it, because you had to be between the ages of 6 mos - 24 yrs of age. my clinic is getting them for just the employees in Nov. so I will get mine then! Anyways....I have been around it a lot ans swabbbed a lot of people with positive results.
I encourage anyone......to go and get your kids vaccinated for it. It will really help and if you get it, you will become deathly ill for many days and you feel like you are going to die. It's wicked when you get it, trust me! I have been around too many people that have it, and it's not fun to get. Right now, the majority or kids that are getting it are Jr. High and High School age kids, then they pass it on their younger and sis. Grade school is still getting it, but I have seen a lot more in those 2 age groups getting sick! But I tell you, as soon as you start getting a fever and chills, please take your did in and get them treated. If you have symptoms for more than 24 hrs....there is not a whole lot that the Dr.s can do for you and the Tamiful...will not help out more than 24 hrs after your symptoms occur! Just FY!
So go and get your kids Vaccinated. There is nothing wrong with Vaccinations. They cannot hurt your child!
Good luck in this flu season and always remember to wash your hands and keep them out of your face! and KEEP YOUR KIDS HOME IF THEY ARE SICK WITH ANYTHING!!!! We don't want GERMS spread!

FlOwErS!!!

So my husband had been gone all weekend and It was going pretty well. We were having fun and then on Sunday....it was not a good day. I had a mtg. and I had a movie on for my kids but they decided they didn't want to watch it so Blake started teasing them and playing with them and they were all running through the house screaming. Then before we left for church, Marissa decided to have an accident so I had to change her completely. Then at church was our Primary Program and Marissa decided to be a peel and be load and throw tantrums......then after church I had to run my kids to my parent's in laws so that I could attend a mtg. and they they wouldn't eat well....Why are Sunday's such a hard day? It is suppose to be a day of rest and feel the spirit....with kids....good luck!

On Monday, we had fun! Blake in school and so is Marissa. When Tony got home that night, he brought me flowers and Ice Cream sandwitches! They are so beautiful and I love them! He is such a sweet and caring husband and I missed him greatly, and r glad that he returned home safely! The kids missed him tons also! So thanks babe for the flowers! I love them!

Here are also some pictures of my girls eating their Ice cream sandwitch!
