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. 

Gardner Village

Daycare/School

 We had Jacob enrolled in a daycare/school for a couple months. Here are some pictures of how cute he looked going to school every day with his cute backpack.  (sorry the pictures aren't in order, I can't move them)

My first 5K!

I have always thought it would be cool to run a half marathon.  Now do you think I actually go the gym or even like to run?  I decided I needed to start somewhere and I signed up for a 5K. I thought if I signed up I might actually do it.  Well, I did!  I did the Greek Festival 5K.  It was actually a lot of fun and I finished a lot faster than I thought I would.  I did it by myself and I think next time it might be better with a buddy, but I am so glad I did it and I plan to do more and maybe even one day, a half marathon.  Miguel and Jacob waited for me at the finish line and took pictures. 

 My time was....40:21.6

GO UTES!

GO UTES!  We took Jacob to a couple of games this year.

A trip to the lake

We went to a lake up in Ogden (I don't know the name of it). Miguel BBQ'd some carne asada, which was delicious and we just hung out and played in the water. It was nice to get away fro a few hours and spend time together.  Besides being slightly tired I think Jacob had a good time too. Thanks Miguel for a fun day!

Could he be any cuter?

Jacob's snacks fell in the water

I love him!

Sad boy...face planted in the sand (I had to take this picture)

The Dentist

I took Jacob to Burg's Pediatric Dentistry for his first trip to the dentist.  Overall it went pretty well.  He was afraid to lay in the chair by himself so I layed and held him, but he let the hygenist clean his teeth and then he had fun with her playing with the water and air.  These are the only 2 pictures I got, but they're pretty cute.  Jacob's teeth look great and he LOVES brushing his teeth!
