I have been horrible about updating my blog lately. Someone (Sarah) reminded me the other day that I needed to get going! Have I had time to update my blog lately? Sure. Have I done it? No. Instead of focusing on the past I will go with the most recent activities and update you on what's been going on 'round these parts.
This past weekend, Jacob and I journeyed out to Western Kansas. Because I have recurring nightmares about being stuck in a car with screaming Jake, I broke down and bought an new dvd player for him to use on our trip. (BTW, still haven't heard anything about my belongings turning up anywhere, and I'm guessing I won't hear anything. I bet they have been sold on eBay for a pretty penny, so that some low life can buy things like neon lights for the underside of their car.) Even having the dvd player, I still expected Jacob to be unhappy, preparing for the worst I guess. He did great though! He slept for a bit, and he watched his animal dvd which is now is favorite. There was some yelling and whining, but overall the trip out was a success.
While out in the boonies, we were able to see my brother play basketball. We went on Friday night, and although the varsity boys lost, it was a lot of fun. We also visited my Aunt Lori, Uncle Tim, and cousin Caleb. We played with their 15 new puppies. At one point, Jacob fell down and was swarmed by 5 puppies. He really didn't seem too phased by it, although after looking closely I realized one of them left a present on Jacob's leg. So, we ventured into the house to change pants. Sunday Natalie came over, and we all went out to Tanner's parents' farm to check out the cows. Jacob really liked the cows. He walked right up to the gate and even startled a few of them away from eating. Monday we made a trip to Hays along with Aisha and Tanner. We ate at Carlos O'Kelly's which I know Jonny would have loved. Then we came home.
It is always good to be home after a trip, but we sure miss Aisha and Tanner. I recently took a new job working part time for a middle/high school in Lindsborg, KS. I have only been 2 days. In fact, I would normally be there today, but because of weather I decided to stay home. Currently the weather is doing nothing, so I feel slightly like an idiot for staying home, but better safe than sorry I guess.
Jacob is 15 months now, and really starting to show his personality. The other day I said, "Let's get your coat on so we can go bye bye." He looked at me, said, "no," then turned and walked away from me. Well that was a first. Good to see he is using his language skills, although I would have rather he said, "Mom, you're the best. I love you." Oh well, maybe next year. :)
