Jacob, Dixie, and Buster

Jacob has discovered how entertaining our dogs are. This realization came about while I was cooking dinner and I heard him laughing hysterically in the hallway. I couldn't see him because there's a wall that separates our hallway from our kitchen, but I could hear him. I turned the corner and I could see him playing "peek-a-boo" with our little dog, Buster. Buster likes to play this game where he'll run around the hallway walls trying to make you catch him. He'll dart around real fast in fun. Well, he was playing this with Jacob, and Jacob thought it was the funniest thing ever!

I didn't get to capture that one on camera, but he played with both dogs a few minutes later and here is what we got. It's pretty funny, so make sure your volume is turned up!

Oh, Mommy!!

Okay, so remind me never to trim Jacob's hair on my own ever again! His hair was getting so long that it always got in his eyes, so we decided it was time for a trim. Well...I got out my scissors and went to town. This is the result. It's not even and it's SUPER short!! Oh, well! Thank the Lord that hair grows!

4th of July!

For the 4th this year, we got to celebrate by going to Derek's sister's, Kim's, lakehouse. While we were there, we celebrated Derek's and Grammi T.'s birthdays as a family. We had so much fun!

Here's Jacob with his cousins, Grant and Audrey. He was suited up in a life vest for his big first excursion on a speedboat!
Our dearest friends, Jon, Kendall, and Logan, joined us at the lakehouse. I'm so glad they could come!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

This is a belated post, oops on my part! Derek celebrated his 27th birthday last Thursday on the 3rd. Jacob was so excited because he got to spend the night with his Grammi T. and Grandpa while mommy and daddy went out with friends.

I love my amazing husband and I hope he had a memorable birthday. He is such an incredible husband and dad and truly is my soulmate. Jacob is so blessed to have a daddy like him, and I know one day they are going to be the best of buddies. I pray that God equips Jacob with similar qualities as Derek in what it means to be a man: loving, patient, Godly, kind, confident, strong (both physically, spiritually, and emotionally) and honorable. I love my boys so much!
