Adam turned 29!!!

     Adam turned 29 years old at the end of April this year. We both are amazed at how time flies by when you are happy and busy with good things. Adam could not be a better husband or father. He is truly my one true love!! He is such a caring and genuine person and yet if you mentioned that to him, he would deny it all because he is so humble. I love thinking about our future and the wonderful life we have and will continue to have and its all because of Adam, well mostly. Adam is the hardest worker I know and when he says he will do something, he will go to great lengths to get it done.

     As most of you know, Adam is in sales.... I know some people don't like sales, but with Adam he likes it because if you work hard and put your mind to being successful then you succeed. He has that mentality in life as well, he works hard everyday at being a good friend, a good dad, a good brother, a good co-worker, a good listener, and last but not least a good husband. He is the one person I want to talk to when life is amazing or when life is hard, because he is truly my best friend!

Adam I love you babe and I hope you had a great birthday in PARIS!!!!

Love ya-Becca

In this picture he had no idea this was his cake, I told him I was making it for a friend's son.  Little did he know I made 2 of them that day.  I gave the first one to the friend(without Adam knowing) and then told him I was meeting her at his game, where we had his surprise party!  He was definitely surprised!!!!

 Here we are on the plane off to Europe, the trip of a lifetime!!!

For Adam's birthday we went to soccer (football) game in Paris at the Saint-Germain Stadium in downtown Paris.  It was an amazing experience and the stadium was filled, these fans are hard core!  I hope my Adam had a great birthday and I hope he knows how much I love and appreciate who he is as a person, Love you babe!

Easter family camp out 2011

          We went on a fun camp out with my family right after Easter weekend.  It was still a little too cold for camping, but we decided to still give it a go because the Cali kids were leaving soon for pest control.  We shared a camper with Adam and Liz and had a blast!  We were very grateful that we did, because it snowed while we were there.  We did some shooting, hiking, games, and a super fun game of kickball. I truly love being with my family and doing anything is a fun time when we are together!  "Who's got it better than we do?....Nobody!!!!!"

 Livy was sure taken care of by her cousins(Sierra/Haley),

 they just could not get enough of her. SO CUTE!!!!

My dad has always installed in me a love for the outdoors since I was very little.  I learned all I know from him and I am so excited to keep this tradition in our family and pass it along to my kids.  Thanks Dad for an amazing trip, but mostly thanks for being the best dad any girl could ask for!

ROCKETS

Adam has been really into these rockets lately.  

The nieces and nephews loved them on the camp out!

EASTER EGG HUNT

We did an Easter egg hunt for the kids around our campsite.  I made baskets and filled eggs then I had Adam and Liz drop them off all over on their motorbike.  Lets just say.... some baskets(hunter and hatch) were really far away.  Hunter and Hatch hopped on their motorbikes and off they went, Hunter was the last to find his because it was across the road in a tree.  It was fun to see even the little ones (Cannon/Livy) having fun.

Olivia loved camping with the family and 

we look forward to many more trips to come!

Easter

     We had a fun easter hunt on the Jacobson family camping trip, but had to do a little thing at home as well.  as you can see I couldn't even take a picture of the basket before she had her hands all over it.  She got a little pony in her basket with her favorite--banana and fruit roll-up. 

I think she really liked her little pony:)

Livy in her adorable Easter dress, I love purple!

More April fun!

Livy is so happy when she wakes up and loves to play games, especially peek-a-boo

One of my favorite things as a mom

 is giving her baths and snuggling with her in the towel!

Big personality in small little body

Olivia has a zest for life and is excited about everything

Sad, I just wanted one picture. At least one of us is smiling!

Arms up!

Olivia is growing up too fast!

      Livy is 13 months now and I have been reallly working with her on sign and book.  Until recently it didn't seem it clicked as well as I  was expecting.  This last week has been amazing to see her grow and learn.  I was reading a book to her yesterday and it showed a family praying for dinner and I told her they were praying and folding her arms, I look down and she folded her own arms.  It was the cutest thing I had ever seen.  She now is doing so much, here are a list of some new accomplishments our cutie can do now:
-walk all over the house
-Says, "NANA" for banana
-Says, "dant do" for thank you
-Says, "DADA" constantly, always looking for dada when she wakes up
-Says, What I think is HI and Bye
-Waves when we tell her to wave or if we say HI or bye
-Points to my nose, mouth, eyes and then claps in between as I say, "YAY!" for her accomplishment
-Opens her mouth and lifts up her arms when we tell her to
-Copies sounds and mimics what we do
-Shares everything with us..toys, food, books
-Has 2 little chomper teeth in the bottom front
-Helps mommy sing songs and even tries to do the actions
-Gives the best hugs and kisses
-Gives a courtesy laugh when Adam and I are laughing
-Can baby sign, more, all done, food, and is trying to sign please
-Loves yogurt and spinach mixture to eat (green smoothie)
-Loves to eat and loves her spaghetti...Just like her mama
-Loves playing with all her cousins
-Livy is truly missed by her mommy when she is at work:(
