Early in August we went up to my Grandparents cabin. It was lots of fun and I am glad that the Scotts got to come up with us. Because I was not feeling well, my Aunt Kim and I got to hang out a lot in the cabin. It was fun just relaxing. Jacob had a blast hanging out with Dan. Especially when he got to go on the 4-wheeler. He looked slightly concerned when he was on the 4-wheeler, but the minute we would take him off he would want to get back on.
Jacob had fun playing drums with my Dad and gathering sticks with my Mom (who knew an orange bucket could make the coolest toy ever!)
One of the main activities at the cabin are the horseshoe competitions. Here is Rachel throwing a horseshoe while her hubby is softening the dirt in the other horseshoe pit.
Daniel and Jim where a force to be reconed with, they have horseshoe skills. They were TEAM VICTORY!
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!
One of the best things about living close to my Brother and Sister-in-law is that the kids like to play together. We recently went to the park and the sprinkler turned on; Jacob and his cousin Kaley had fun running through them. 
Jacob's Levis where drenched! 
Jacob about to throw a football at his Uncle Brandon. 
Daniel and I found out that we are going to be having another rambunctious little boy! I am excited about it and am glad I can start getting the baby room painted and ready. Even though we have a while before I actually give birth, it's fun to start getting ready for the new little one! Jacob is going to be a great older brother, he already knows that baby's are fragile, and will whisper around them. ( he knows we have to use our quiet voice around babies) The current name we are leaning towards is Jason Brewster Astin, but the decision isn't made just yet. I have decided to stop calling him Cupcake, the name he was given when we found out I was with child, and try out Jason.
Daniel had fun fishing, playing badminton. 
There was even a badminton tournament. I felt bad for Caden, who got stuck with me as his partner ( we lost in our first game). I can't remember who won the tournament, just the priceless moments of my mother and aunt Lisa playing . I have video of the badminton tournament, and will try to post it as soon as I can.
