Cleaning with "Pa"

Jacob loves to clean!  Every weekend when my dad (or as Jacob calls him, "Pa") goes outside to shake the rugs and vaccuums, Jacob has to help.

Look at that concentration...

Christmas 2011

Jacob waking up and coming to see what Santa brought him...a Kitchen!!

Checking out his new kitchen

Seeing what Santa left in his stocking

Exploring the kitchen

Opening presents

More presents

When you have kids, Christmas is all about the kids.  It was all about Jacob, his presents and him having fun. I must say he did get a little bit overwhelmed, but for the most part I think he had a good day.  We had a nice day spending time with my family and just hanging out.  Sadly, I didn't get very many pictures.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve I had to work during the day and Miguel had to work at night. What a schedule...huh? 

The only pictures I got were of Jacob opening a present.  I have started a tradition where he can open one present (his pajamas) on Christmas Eve. Here is a play by play...

 This is him showing me the pajamas

Here he is playing with his new Lion King phone that his Uncle Chris gave him. He loves it!  He even slept with it that night.

(He was a little bit sick which explains all of the drool on his shirt and his open mouth)

Could he be any cuter?

Santa

We went and saw Santa at the mall this year.  Jacob was not afraid at all. He jumped right up on his lap and even gave Santa a hug.

Zoo Lights

Miguel, Jacob and I went to Zoo Lights.  It was freezing! Jacob wasn't really that into it this year.  Maybe we will try again in a couple years or dress warmer next time.

Ho Ho Ho!!

 

I absolutely LOVE this picture!

Thanksgiving 2011

I had to work on Thanksgiving this year.  Miguel and Jacob had Thanksgiving dinner with my family and I had leftovers that night when I got home.  They didn't take many pictures, but here are a few random ones.

Jacob loves eating chips with his Grandpa "Pa"

Jacob and his Great Grandma

Jacob and Grandma

Later Thanksgiving night after Jacob went to bed Miguel and I had to take part in our annual tradition, Black Friday shopping!  We went to Walmart and it was absolutely crazy!!  We ended up leaving and going and standing in line at Target. We waited about an hour before the doors opened and shopped around Target with all of the other crazies!!  We didn't even get anything that cool. Oh well, it's a fun tradition that we have.  Happy Turkey Day Everyone!!!

Utah Football

Miguel and I all bundled up and a very cold football game. 
We had fun though!

GO UTES!!

We went to Vegas October 23-25. It was nice to get away for a few days and the weather was perfect!!

He's the cutest!

He was afraid of the M&M at first, but then gave him a hug

Smile!

High Five!

Family Picture Attempt

We thought we would attempt some family pictures.  We found a nice place and my mom came along to take a few snap shots...nothing formal.  Well, Jacob was super crabby and would not let go of his toys or his crackers.  They didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, but we got a few cute ones.
