Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...

Oh yes, I am lame and you can call me that! I know it is only Nov. 9, 2012 but Yes I did decide to put my Christmas Tree up today!  I thought that we would have a fun day since my kids were out of school, but no....we did not have a very good day.  I got all ready and got the kids all ready and we were out the door by 10:15. We had to buy a present for Marissa's friend for her Birthday Party that was later. We then had to go to the Grocery Store....2 might I add.  Taking 3 kids with you....really gets you in a bad mood. They were bugging each other and talking back to me and finally I had, had it! They were driving me crazy. So when we got home they sat at the table and thought about what they did wrong and then I made them do their homework. (what a mean mom I am)!  I at least wanted to do something to bright up my day so Jaci and I put up our Christmas Tree!  Blake was playing with a friend and Marissa was at a Birthday Party.  jaci kept telling me..."You know it's not Christmas yet, right?"  'I know, Jaci"!  It was fun to be with her! She had fun with me!
Here are some pictures!

 Jaci Put most of the Ornaments on herself!

Happy Halloween 2012

This was our first year Trick or Treating in our New neighborhood!  It was fun and actually a little warmer this year! not too shabby! Our ward does a "Trunk or Treat" and so we attended.  We had soup before hand and then the cars that wanted to got ready and the kids headed out. We actually had quite a few cars and it was fun to see all the kids dressed up and much of the adults also! We have never done a trunk or treat, but it was fun.  This year....as you can see, Blake was a Hunter. Jaci was a Butterfly and Marissa....as always......a CAT!  They had fun going out with their friends! They got a lot of candy and I am glad it is almost gone! 
This year, I actually had to work upstairs in Pediatrics with Dr. Evan's. They always dress up and so this year they wanted to be Smurf's.  So of course.....I dressed up! Luckily I we were just in for the morning and I didn't have to wear it all day! It was fun and I am glad I worked that morning.
Here are some fun pictures from our fun Halloween 2012!

Jaci turns 5

Jaci, is our youngest child. She is 16 mos younger than Marissa and people often come up to me and ask if they are twins! Jaci is very strong willed. She is fun loving and loves to be around people and make friends! She often gives in to her sister and does what she say's. She was ans is super excited to be 5. She said when she turns 5 she will eat Strawberries and Raspberries and peas........that has yet to come. She is making progress on eating. Some day's are better than others. She already has gotten her Kindergarten shots so she is ready to go next year! She is way excited to go and wishes she could go now, but she still has some progress she needs to do.  Learn to write her name, eat better, know all her sounds (almost there). Marissa try's to teach her things that she needs to learn. Sometimes it works....sometimes not!  Jaci is 35# and is about 42 in. Her and Marissa right now weight the same....which is sad on Marissa's part! 
We are glad Jaci is in our family and she is very much loved!
This year was her first "Birthday Friend Party" so we decided to make it a "Princess" Party and invited the girls her age in the ward.  There are not a lot.....compared to marissa's age, but we had fun!  Here are some pictures to show from it! Jaci turned 5 on Sept 29th.  She shares her birthday with her Uncle Kyle!

 Jaci and all her friends!

 These are the Princess cupcakes that I made for her friend party

 Here is the "Barbie" "Princess" Cake that I attempted to make. It doesn't look as good as the ones my sister makes!

Jaci's Cousin's that came that night for her Family Party!

Grandparents

I don't know if I ever shared this picture, but I was going through my pictures and I came across this one.  It happened to be taken 2009, I believe. It was for Jaci's Birthday. It was taken before my dad's dad passed away from Parkinson's. (the one in the blue stripped shirt)! This was a fun picture with all my kids grandparents and great grandparents.  I am glad we got this picture taken.  Not too many have their great-grandparents alive.  Just thought that I would share.  It has now been 2 years since my grandpa has died.  He was a wonderful man who was smart and dedicated to his Gospel teaching and standards! He is truly missed!!

More Family pictures!

Here are the rest of the Jacobsen family Pictures that were taken!  They turned out good I though!
Enjoy!

Family Pictures!

We went to Thanksgiving Point to have our Pictures taken with Tony's Family by Fotfly! If you have heard of them, they take good pictures.  We didn't do any individual pictures or family pictures so I decided to take my moms camera with me and snap a few of my kids before and after our shoot!  It is way beautiful there and all the flowers are pretty.  My kids did a great job!  I hope the pictures turned out good for Tony's parent's.  They are the ones that wanted them!

 I love this one of Marissa!  SHe is growing up so fast! She is my cute girl!

 jaci, she is almost 5 and sure getting attitude~!  She is me reincarnited...its a little scary at times!

 My cute kiddos!  We had fun at Thanksgiving Point!

 Marissa was being a little peel and didn't want to take a picture or anything, i can't remember what her deal was!

Here are a few that we took ourselves:

Baptism Pictures!

The day Blake got baptized, I cleaned the house the night before and started to get things ready, because that Saturday I had to work from 9-3, which was fine...it's not like I had to get him ready....it was all Tony that had to help him!!  I forgot my camera, but luckily  my mom brought hers and she took some pictures of us before the Baptism!  It was a very Special Day for Blake. We had a lot of friends and family there to support him and he enjoyed them there and thanks you all for coming!  It was a very Special Day and I hope that he can remember this Special Day!  We love you Blake!

One day we took a hike up to these Beautiful Waterfalls called "Stoneybrook" and the kids would play in the water and get soaked!  It was fun and way beautiful!  It was a fun hike and I recommend it if you are ever in the area!
