Pumpkin Patch

When I was a kid my parents always took me to the Vineyard Nursery to pick out a pumpkin. Because I loved going as a child, I have done the same thing with Jacob. This year my parents came with us. Even though I had to waddle through a corn maze and pumpkin patch, it was fun to watch Jacob play and enjoy the same things I did when I was his age.

This is a picture of my dad and Jacob in the corn maze.

This is Jacob running through the corn after leaving my Dad in the dust.

Jacob picked out his pumpkins and pulled them around in the red wagon. I am just glad he didn't want me to pull him around in the red wagon!

Jacob is 2!

Jacob turned two on the 10th of October. Daniel and I got him an ice cream cone and let him get messy. Ice cream ended up getting everywhere, which is why it is a special occasion when he gets an ice cream cone.
I love this picture not only because I think my son is adorable, but because of the poster in the background.
Jacob blew out his own candles this year! He wanted to play with the toy animals on the cake so bad that he wouldn't smile until the giraffe was in his hands.
My parents got him a huge dinosaur floor puzzle, I think my Dad and Richie where more excited about the puzzle then Jacob! Dan and Jacob ( mostly Dan) put the puzzle together about every other night, and Jacob will sit there and point out the different dinosaurs.
Jacob is getting so big! It is weird to think he is going to be the older brother soon, my baby is becoming a little boy! Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated his birthday with us.

UPS Softball Tournament

Dan and a bunch of his fellow UPS drivers got together for their annual softball charity event in Salt Lake. It was a bunch of fun watching Dan play. Dan's team did extremely well, until the pitcher's 2 year old daughter got hit in the head with a fly ball. She is ok, but at the time the only thing anyone cared about was getting her to the hospital. Jacob had a fun time playing with all of the softballs and watching his Dad play.

Jacob was chasing down the turkeys and ducks trying to feed them the apples he picked.

Digging up Potatoes

Jacob loves being outside. We go to the park or let him play in the backyard almost everyday and let him run around. Though his favorite place is my parents backyard, and I don't blame him. Between the chickens, ducks, turkeys, dogs and garden; getting to hang out with his grandparents, Richie and Heather he has a blast out there. Jacob liked harvesting a lot of the fruit in the yard, so we decided to let him help Grandpa dig up the potatoes. It was funny to watch, because Jacob is not a huge fan of getting dirt on his hands. But he did well. It is fun to watch him explore and learn new things. It will be hard in the winter when I can't just take him outside to burn off some of that energy!
