Dylan's first loose tooth

So I have noticed for the last two days that Dylan has been putting his finger in his mouth, I had broken him of this bad habit a long time ago so I got curious why he was doing it. Come to find out he has his very first loose tooth. It's too cute to see him wiggle it. Will post a picture when it falls out.

Kyle - Jr High

Tyler - 5th grade

Dylan - 1st grade

Kyle starts Jr High

Today I took Kyle to his Jr high and got him registered. We got his classes and then we walked around the school and found them so he would know where to go. His also got his locker. After we were done he tells me, I am really excited mom! I am so happy because when I started Jr high I was terrified!

Disneyland 2012

Disneyland was a blast! Our whole family could ride most all of the rides and together. With the help of a good friend we went to town hall at Disneyland and got a special pass for Dylan. It made it so we didn't have to wait in the long lines. Prevented a lot of fits! He only had 2 tiny ones in 3 days! I am very thankful. Dylan was a whole different person at Disneyland, he was talking, interacting. It was wonderful. We spent 2 days at Disney and 1 day at California adventure. Our hotel was great, right by Disney and we got to see the fireworks from the hotel instead of staying at the crowded Disney park. The rides at Disney I thought were way better than California adventure. The only awesome thing at California adventure was cars land. After we checked out of the hotel we went to long beach for a couple hours then headed back to Utah. It was an awesome trip and I am very happy that I was able to do this for my kids.

Vegas Trip

So on our family trip we decided to stop in Vegas to see m&m world and coca cola.

California Trip

Our family trip for 2012 was to California! We did stop in Vegas on the way then disneyland and long beach. We specifically went to Bakersfield to visit my uncle jack and aunt glory. We spent 5 days there and then headed to Disney.

Kyle fractures his thumb

So 2 games before the end of Kyle's jr jazz basketball he was playing outside at home and jammed the ball into his thumb, it started swelling and turning purple so I knew something was wrong. We ended up in the instacare and then got the news that he had bruised it really good and that he had to wear a splint for a week, by the time we got home, I had a message on my voicemail that said they looked at the x rays closer of Kyle's thumb and it was in fact fractured and that he had to wear the brace for 3 weeks! I was upset but poor Kyle was devastated. He was out for the season. He still got up and went to his last 2 games to support his team. I was so proud of him. He picked himself up and dusted himself off so to speak.

I am doing it!

Well I have started yet again down the road to weight loss, but this time I am not doing it alone. I have the help of several friends, my kids and most of all my husband. I got a good deal through my work through gold's gym and the best thing is that my husband can also benefit. My husband and I now go to the gym 4 days a week! On the weekends my kids get me outside for either a jog or a walk. I have started this hard journey since I believe the end of September. They had taken my weight at the doctor's office when I hurt my knee and that was it for me! I did not like the number I was looking at. After my knee healed and i got back from hawaii I went full force which was about the beginning of November. I changed my diet and started going to the gym 3 days a week, I started seeing results and so I started going 4 days a week which is where I am now. Now for the best part of my story, I have to date lost 33 lbs and 6% of my body fat. I have gone down 4 pants sizes and my shirt size has also gotten smaller. I hope to hit the 50 mark by the second week of April. (I go to Philadelphia for work and would love to reach this goal by then but if not it's ok because my original goal was to hit that mark by July when I go to California! Tell next time which hopefully will be soon! As of 3-28-12, I have lost 50 lbs!

Tyler Fractures His Toes

So yes 3 days before Tyler is suppose to play Jr Jazz Basketball he goes and fractures 2 of his toes! He was jumping and then jammed his foot into this chair that just happens to be filled with sand! He has to wear a "shoe" for a month. It is winter time so walking to school in the snow with crutches should be a bit of a challenge. He is a trooper though! I mean he has had 3 sets of stitches in his lifetime, he knows pain.

Dylan's snow day

So I never really took or let Dylan go out in the snow. I am not sure why but this year I did. I bought him snow boots and I had a old snow suit that was Kyle's hanging around and it just happens to fit Dylan. I took him out the day after we had the storm. He loved it, his favorite part was sticking his gloves in the snow. I am sure he will be out again soon!

12 years ago today

12 years ago today Kyle Anthony Arnes Jacobs came into the world. He was 8 lbs 13 ozs. He was bald but very cute. He changed my life for the better that day. We threw a party for him last night, most of the family got to come and celebrate. We had pizza and basketball cupcakes and ice cream and little smokies. Kyle got money and some candy for his birthday this year. We are taking him to Chilli's for his birthday dinner. He also picked to spend his money at the sports store fanzz. He bought a Utah jazz sweater, a jersey, hat and headband. He left very happy! He also signed up for Jr jazz for his birthday.
