Jacobs family catchup

4 months! Wow, 4 months since my last post. I don't even know what happened. I tell myself I will keep up, but I am amazed at how hard it is with 2 kids to do much of anything! Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas was a blast! Owen every day says how thankful he is that Santa brought him his shark ship, car garage and legos. He prays for those legos every single night! haha. His 4th birthday is coming up and I can't even believe he is that old. It seems like just yesterday he was born! We are going to throw him a little Lego's party with a few of his friends so that should be fun. Calvin is just adorable and growing like crazy! He is definitely a Daddy's boy!! Oh man, he does not like me or any women for that matter but he still is adorable and does the most hilarious things every day. He is literally obsessed with Owen and does whatever Owen does. We will be at the store and Owen will walk by something and hit it and Calvin will turn around and hit it exactly where he hit it and continue to follow him step by step. We were at home and I asked Owen to turn off the TV and Owen did then Calvin ran up, turned it on, then turned it off so he could do it exactly like Owen. It is so cute. I just love my two little boys so much! They are the world to me!
We had some family pictures taken of us in the fall. The kids were kinda cranky but I still think they turned out cute! I know every parent thinks this, but I think my kids are the cutest!We also had thanksgiving at my parents and everyone came so we got a pic group picture of our entire family!
So part of the reason of lack of posts is that my camera broke at Halloween and I think it's not fun unless you have a picture or two. I found our old broken camera and took a few pics of our Christmas tree so that is about it for the last 4 months of our life! Time to suck it up and buy a new one I guess! Anyways, here is Christmas morning for us. Santa layed out Owens car garage and Calvins "choo-choo". These aren't the best pictures of the boys but it gives you an idea of how big they are getting. They were way to interested in playing and didn't want to smile for the camera.
As far as Lee and I, well Lee is enjoying his job at Big D working at camp williams literally 5 minutes away! So nice! And I love teaching my aerobics classes. I do think I tore either a muscle or tendon in my ankle and need to go to the Dr to get it looked at soon. It is getting unbearable and I have had to tone it down and cut way back so I don't kill myself. I ran my 4th half marathon in Vegas in December! The Rock N Roll half, it was fun but way too crowded. I also had my 28th birthday. That's right, I am only 28. I don't know why everyone thinks I am in my mid thirties!! Do I really look that old?! ugh! Anyways, we went to Airborne for my birthday and it was a blast! They have tons of trampolines and a trampoline dodgeball area and a place to jump into foam pits. It was a blast! I felt like I was 12 again! We all dressed like gym nerds and played and had fun! I just get so sick of my January birthday always being cold and at someones house and eating. I wanted to actually DO something and have fun! If you don't know me very well, I don't enjoy just sitting around and watching TV or movies, I like to be active and moving.
Owens birthday is coming up so we are planning for that and Lee and Calvins birthdays are coming up in May. Lee will be the big 30! and Calvin will be 2! That is about it for us right now, I am sure I will try to post soon again and at least get Owens birthday on here.

Disneyland/Sea World/Beach

My parents decided they wanted to take us all on a trip to California as a family! It was sooo fun! We did Disneyland, Sea World and the beach. They rented a house in San Clemente so we were able to all be together. I loved it! I want to go back already!!

We started our trip going to Disneyland. These pictures are the first day there. So much fun!!


Calvin was not going to wait in an hour long line just to have his picture with Mickey so we are missing him.

My sweet boys!The next day we just relaxed at our beach house and got geared up for Sea World for the next day. Here we are at Sea World. It was so nice, not crowded at all! We decided to not go to the Shamu show since our kids don't sit very well and ended up being the only ones playing with the dolphins. They were adorable and kept coming to us and letting us pet them and then they would turn around and splash us with water. I loved it!
The next day we went back to Disneyland. I just love it there. We did California Adventures and Owen even went on the Tower of Terror! I refuse to go on that ride!The last day we went to the Beach and played all day. Calvin sure did not like the water or waves. It scared him and he kept trying to escape. Lol. Owen absolutely LOVED it and had a blast.

Fall fun

This fall was a blast. Fall always is though. There are so many fun things to do and see! We spent a lot of time playing and going fun places. At Thanksgiving Point they have Cornbellys which is a lot of fun for the kids. We also went to Disneyland and Sea World but I will post about that in a different post. Here we are at Cornbelly's.
Here is Calvin playing around in the train!
Me and my Lee lee
Lol. I just put this on here because I think it is hilarious that I am just smiling like normal and Calvin was freaking out. I am sure he was having some sort of tantrum over something silly.
They have a big corn house that is full of corn kernals the kids can play in. Owen hates his picture being taken and was refusing all night to let me take one. I had to sneak this one in.
Unfortunately, I forgot my camera most times we went out so this is about it for our fall activities. I don't even have pictures from Halloween night :(

First Day of School

I decided last minute that I wanted to put Owen in preschool. I know he will just love it! He could not wait to go. This morning he came running in and immediately wanted to go to school. He loved picking out his own backpack and wore it around all last night and this morning while he was waiting.

Cute boys!

We took the boys to get their haircut today. I just wanted to post because I think they both look so dang adorable! We go to Cookie Cutters and I just love it. They do such a good job! This was Calvin's second haircut ever and he did so good. He even got a sucker (his very first sucker in his life!) They are so cute! Love my boys!

Timp Half

WOOHOO! I finished my 3rd half marathon! It was a LOT of fun! I know it sounds crazy, but seriously it was. Races are so addicting and I already want to do another one! I am super happy that I finished it a lot faster than I originally thought I would. I was anticipating between 2 hrs 15 min to 2.5 hours but I crossed the finish line at 2:01!!!! :) That is a 9:10 pace!! Love it! My mom and my neighbor ran it too so it was a lot of fun to have them there as well. Here is me and my mummy after our 13.1 miles!!! My sweet husband and kids were there at the finish line as well! I love my family!

Playin in the Gutter

One of the screens that filters our water for Saratoga Springs broke and since we live at the bottom of the pipe, they had to open the fire hydrants to clear out the water. We, being the good parents we are, let our kids play in the gutter and take a break from the heat! It was actually a lot of fun!
haha! I don't think Cal liked it at first, but then he warmed up to it! :)
