It's always fun when the Jacobs come!

The BIG Race! (5k is big, right? :))

After we got back from Las Vegas (in fact we flew in from Vegas around 10pm on Friday night, and got up early Saturday morning) Aaron and I ran the Stake-sponsored 5k. Our friend, Sara, was so kind to watch Michael, and it was a fun run except for the fact that Aaron beat me by thirty seconds!! I couldn't believe he didn't even wait for me to cross the finish line with him. I guess it's that competitive blood in him! Gotta love it!

Before the Race (Michael looking tired.)


After the Race (Michael still looking tired.)


The Jacobs Come to Town!

The next week Aaron's family came to visit! Wahoo! We had so much fun! Michael loved having Grandma and Grandpa Jacob and two of his beautiful aunts around!

We went to the zoo.

Aunt Emma & Aunt Hannah


Michael & I on the SkyTram


Grandpa & Grandma Jacob


The girls having fun!


This is how Michael responded when he saw the Lion! :)



We went to the beach. (The weather wasn't too grand, was it?)









We also went to Sea World. And I LOVE SEA WORLD!

Atlantis - This ride was SO much fun! And yes, we wore ponchos.


Yes, flamingos just walking down the street.







And of course we went to the Mormon Battalion (which is my favorite historic site thus far - it's incredibly creative and fun!).



Three Generations








MORE BEACH!!!

And then we went to the beach - two more times! (This time - great weather, gorgeous nights!)





Hannah & I trying to make seal sounds (notice the seals on the right)!


Aaron & I


We fed this squirrel. Then we saw a sign that said: Please Don't Feed the Squirrels!





Michael has just about figured out crawling. He scoots and climbs. And he is a good climber. Oh, and he can say, "Duck, duck, goose!" I'm serious. I know, we're good parents (teaching him the most important things). :)




Pretty much we think we have the cutest kid - ever.
