I enjoy being a kid again. Especially wearing a bucket on my head. I thought Jacob was having too much fun, so I decided to wear the bucket. (Not to bad, right Cherilyn) Hope you enjoy this picture as much as I enjoyed wearing the bucket.

SMILE IF YOU HAVE A BUCKET ON YOUR HEAD!!!!

(as you can tell i did not actually do this post... i'm editing it right now to add this comment, but jason thought it would be fun to put this picture on here for auntie cherilyn to see... and the rest of the world! ... i sure love my husband... he's walking around right now thinking he's hot stuff, because he just did a post. i'm so proud of him! he thought he could fool everyone by trying to write as if i wrote it, but what he doesn't realize is that i never type the correct way with capitalization and everything. ) Yes I did, but Jennie deleted 2 other pictures of her on the camera. So, she is lucky this is all I put on here. Stay tuned, I will ask her mom for some good pictures.

easter

well, we hope everyone had a wonderful easter, or as our pastor reminded us, the more appropriate name, resurrection day. we had a lot of fun with our friends and my in laws. we had kind of a potluck dinner and really enjoyed ourselves just sitting and chatting and remembering the "good times" of the past. we had quite the feast. we had turkey, funeral potatoes, jello, veggie tray, rolls, cooked carrots, cauliflower and brocolli with cheese, rice pilaf, and snickers cake. we had brownies later on in the day and snacked all day on the veggies. it was all soooooooo yummy! i think the babies favorite part was the brownies and cake that mommy ate.... i'm sure the baby gave mommy a thumb's up on those. we had a wonderful time at church in the morning. i always enjoy singing on the praise tam and we had a great group to sing with yesterday! we are all kinda' related (well, i'm only by marriage) and we were the ones that originally started the praise team at church back about 5 years ago when we all started going to that church. we have soooooooo much fun singing together and just praisin' the Lord! then we talk about how "so and so" used to sing it, or how "so and so" used to do this and that when we sang this song and that song. we had so much fun reminiscing. hope you all had as much fun as we did!?! praise God, we serve a risen Savior!

jacob likes to do new things...

well, mommy and jacob were hanging out at the shop by ourselves the other day and mommy taught jacob a new little trick. i taught him that if you turn things upside down you can turn them into other things (you'd be so proud, auntie ruthann). so, while we were sitting there we turned a cup upside down and tried to put it on our heads but it was too small. then we tried a smaller cup and it was much too small, but then we tried a small bucket and while it was too small on mommy's head, it fit jacob's perfectly. so, this is our new hat. while it makes my head look a little big (honestly it's only the bucket), it is adorable on jacob's!

it's a ????????

well, we went into the dr. yesterday and everything sounds good with the baby. jacob also had an appointment and everything was good for him too. he is a big 22 pounds and 13 ounces and eats non-stop! the dr. asked us if we wanted to find out what the gender of the baby was and of course we said yes, so they set up an ultrasound on the 7th of april to find out. until then we'll just tease eachother and have fun guessing. i should start to feel him/her moving anytime, but i haven't felt anything yet. we'll keep ya'll posted.

jacob's secret...

well, for those of you that haven't heard jacob's secret yet... he's going to be a big brother!! yes, i'm pregnant (for those of you who hadn't already figured it out) and i'm due around aug. 23rd. i'm about 15 weeks or somewhere around there and we are not sure if it's a boy or a girl yet, as it's still too early. we will find out, however, in about 5 weeks. i think it would be fun to have a girl and jason continually teases me that it's another boy, but we just pray for a healthy child. so far everthing is going alright in this pregnancy. i've had morning sickness (afternoon/evening/all the time) but they say that's a good sign. we are very excited about our new little boy/girl. the kids will be almost 2 years apart, which will be a good distance and hopefully they can be playmates. i'm pretty sure jacob doesn't understand that there's a baby in mommy's tummy, but he kisses the baby everyday. we tell him to give baby a kiss and he comes up to me, lifts my shirt up so he can see my belly and then kisses it. jason continually calls the baby "buddy" so i correct him and say "no, hunny... it's princess!" but as i've said before, as long as the baby is healthy we'll be happy. please continue to pray for us though, as we have a few travels coming up and that is always fun when your big and pregnant and just pray for the safety of the baby. the ultrasound pictures above are from our first ultrasound in january. i was about 9 1/2 weeks at that time. what an amazing miracle God has given and created for us!?!
