The Jacobsen Family

latest happening in the Jacobsen house

2010-09-27T16:32:00.001-07:00

Well guess what the summer flew by and now it is football season. Are we ever home? NO!
We have football Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I have mutual on Wednesday. That leaves Mondays that are normally crazy from work.
We have had a busy summer, My Aunt and her family came and visited, then my grandma came for a day, then my older brother and his family came for a couple weeks and visited.
Well as most of you know we are expecting number 4 in March, this will be closest gap between any of our kids putting Kadence and the baby 25 months apart. This will be interesting since she loves babies. Our friends have a 4 month old and she gets loves from Kadence everytime Kadence sees her. I am not to excited about this one but the rest of the family can't wait. Everyone else thinks it is a girl, I think it is a boy. We will see who is right. Taedyn asked my yesterday if I still had the glue in bows from Kadence. I said no I don't why. He said "we are going to need them for our other sister." I said we can't put bows on a boy. He said "mom I know it is a girl." I hope he is right but I think it is a boy. I would love a girl then Kadence would have a sister. We are done for sure. This is it. Bo even agrees this time.

Busy Times

2010-04-09T10:09:00.001-07:00

Well it is starting to get really busy for us. A fun busy now. Along with work not slowing down this year like it did last year. Thursday the 15 we are headed to Vancouver. We are going to get Braycen and Kadence US Citizenship done. They are already Citizens but we are going to get the paper for then so they never have any issues. While we are in Vancouver we are going to take the kids to the Vancouver Temple open house. The boys keep saying "we get to go in? We really get to go all the way in and see everything? We don't have to wait for you guys?" We keep telling them yes you get to see what a temple looks like on the inside. This will be such a good experience for them. They are at the age they will remember this experience. We return on the 18 and Bo and I are taking off on the 20 for a full week in Hawaii. We are both so excited and can't wait. The count down is on. We get back then a couple weeks later we are going for our yearly trip to Idaho. My boys are counting that trip down. Braycen and I were chatting the other day and he says "Mom I love you and everyone in Idaho that I miss so much." I ask him like who? He says"my Uncle Kenny, my Aunt Lindsay, Austin, Kyle, Braxten, Brimlee, and everyone else." Taedyn on the other had is trying to tell us he is staying there and not coming back. He is going to move in with his Aunt Jessie, and Uncle John. And stay and play with all his cousins. The boys miss their Cousins so much.

Time is Flying

2010-02-05T16:38:00.000-08:00

Well it has been awhile since I have posted. I love reading others blogs and I think it is time I update mine for those who want to know what is going on in our lives. Well we had a wonderful Christmas. We were suppose to go to Idaho but with work being so busy for us we weren't able to make it. Santa brought the boys DS's. That was one smart Santa. It is quiet in the car when we travel now. We were able to go to Edmonton and meet our good friends there for the weekend. We really enjoyed ourselves and the much needed get a way. Thanks Wade and Rayna for the fun time. Here is an update on all of us

Bo & Deni- Busy with work still working for the same company. Nice to go to lunch together. We are looking forward to our much needed get a way trip to Hawaii in April to celebrate our 10 yr anniversary. Our anniversary is actually Aug. 11 but do to work we are going in April when it is our slow time.

Taedyn- Got his first report card for grade one and his interm report for second term. He is still well advanced in his class he had exceeding except in one place. He likes to share the answers with the other kids and help them out to much because he is done instead of letting them figure things out on his own. He only brings home french reading now because in October he had gone through all the English books the teacher had for him. He is in a school play Alice in Wonderland. He is so excited and loving every minute of it.

Braycen- Is loving preschool. He is growing up so fast. He is such a tease. He loves his little sister. She thinks a little to much sometime because she is always getting hugs from him. He can't wait to go to school next year.

Kadence- Has been walking since she was 9 months old. She is starting to run. We have enjoyed her so much. It is so fun for me to have a girl in the house. Her hair is getting long to put elastics in. She keeps us laughing. She love to give hugs and loves. She is a mommy's girl. No matter how much Bo wants her to be a daddy's girl she loves mom. I love it. She is very greedy with her kisses, and loves to tease us. We ask for a kiss she will act like she is giving us one and then duck her head and laugh. She will be the big 1 on Sunday the 7th. I am so sad to think how fast she is growing time is flying.

We are looking forward to our yearly trip to Idaho in May. The boys are already talking about it and what they are going to do with there cousins that they miss so much. We are hoping to be able to get some visits in with some of our friends that we haven't seen in a long time while we are down there.

Wanting To Move

2009-09-11T09:59:00.000-07:00

Last night we were talking as a family and the boys out of the blue said they want to move back to Idaho because they miss there best friends. These best friends happen to be there cousins. They really miss them. It is fun to get together with family as the kids play non stop. We miss you all and can't wait to see you.

Taedyn loves football

2009-09-11T09:55:00.001-07:00

Taedyn loves playing football. Bo has recorded every game Taedyn has played. Taedyn and Bo will watch the games and pick them apart as what was good and what he could have done. I sit there and laugh at them. Taedyn loves talking about his game with his dad. Bo's parents are coming up and Taedyn is so excited that his grandpa is going to watch him play football. Notice the number he has "12" his favorite player is Tom Brady from the Patriots. Him and my dad go the rounds about Brady and so Taedyn got this number to tease my dad, and that he loves Brady. It is fun to see him enjoy playing and how much he loves this sport.

Kadence

2009-09-11T09:38:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures of our PRINCESS Kadence. She is so darn cute. She is very happy all the time. She says "MAMA" and "DADA" she knows what they mean. If I have her in her pack n play and she wants out she starts saying MAMA MAMA till I pick her up. When she wants Bo's attention at home she says DADA DADA. She loves her dad. She gets so excited to see him when he comes home from work, she starts to bounce and get really excited saying DADA DADA. It is fun. She is a twinkle in her daddies eye.

I took the headband off so you can see the blonde hair

she is so happy all the time

We love our PRINCESS

We have the cutest little girl

The Trip to Bubba's Wedding

2009-09-11T09:19:00.000-07:00

My older brother Brett and his family came up for a family vacation and went to the ocean fishing. Since it was so close to my brother Garett's wedding Brett's kids got to stay a week with mom and dad. We had the privilege of travelling with mom and dad to the wedding and swapping kids around. We had such a fun time with all the kids. Brenlon and Jayden were so fun we really enjoyed them. I didn't get any pictures but I did get pictures of Kindra and Landon. Landon and Taedyn were being so silly.

2009-09-08T09:38:00.000-07:00

Well there has been some changes at church. Bo was put in as second councilor in the bishopric. Neither of us saw this coming and we were not prepared. His dad is coming to ordain him a high priest.

Busy

2009-08-05T14:32:00.000-07:00

So it has been a while since I have posted. Man life gets so crazy around here.
We had Braycen's 4 birthday. We had his friends families over and had Sloppy Joe's for dinner which he requested. (Thanks Aunt Lindsay my boys request her Sloppy Joe's when they are asked what they want for dinner) July found us starting football so good bye to freedom. We will have football Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat. Between Bo coaching high school and Taedyn playing. I am still keeping up with my running. (Thanks Sum)

We did our biggest loser with our friends and we were all winners and are doing great.
We just returned from our fun friends annual camp out, which was again such a blast. Great weather, so we all lived in the lake the whole weekend. Kadence loved the water. We were sad because camping isn't the same with out a fire and with the fire bands on we were not able to have a fire, so we all went to bed early.

We will be celebrating our ninth anniversary next week. Time really flies. It has been a great nine years.

Thanks Grandpa and Uncle Kenny for making the Cattle Drive so fun. Thanks everyone for the YUMMY FOOD, and the GREAT MEMORIES. For those that aren't part of the Jacobsen family. Every Memorial weekend Bo's family (parents and siblings) get together at the cabin and Camp (rain or shine.) There are enough married couples that each married couple does a meal for everyone. If you have dinner one year the next year you have breakfast. We haven't had a meal repeated yet and the food is so yummy. For activities we do Paintballing, (ouch) Valleyball, kickball, Horseshoes, and board and card games. It is a ton of fun and we all look forward to it every year, along with the cattle drive. The whole gang.

All the Jacobsen cousins. Every year we take a picture this year there were 4 new cousins.

Braycen and the big hamburger.

John and Jessie took us to Big Judds and yes this is a real hamburger. Bo and I and the boys shared it.

This is one of my favorites of Kadence. This is how she is all the time. Very happy.

Long Break

2009-06-09T15:04:00.000-07:00

Sorry it has be so long since we have posted. Okay I should say I posted because we all know Bo never will. Well we have had a very eventful couple of months. In April for spring break we went to Seattle and did some fun things with the kids. We went to the ocean with the Hatch family and played with different sea creatures. We got to check another Cabela store off of our list, with visiting Lacey. We went shopping, shopping and more shopping. Had to shop for the new little one, and the boys were sick of shopping they would ask "can we go back to Sweet Grandma's now." (That is what they call my Grandma and Grandpa Mounts. We don't know where it came from)

We went to Firth for the month of May, the Jacobsen side got to meet Kadence for the first time. This was exciting for us as Bo's family didn't know she existed. The best reaction was Bo's dad Larry. Bo came in out of the Kitchen holding her as I had the video camera taping and he said " What the HELL is that." We all couldn't stop laughing. His sister Jessie thought the baby was adopted. While we were there I got to go see my good friend Marianne and enjoy and nice visit with her and her boys. The boys got to go on a cattle drive with their cousins, uncles, aunts,grandpa, and dad. They rode horses, and 4 wheelers chasing cowes for 3 days. That is one thing they look forward to every year. They love it. We also got to do our annual Memorial weekend camping. What a blast we have. Bo and I even got to go out to Olive Garden for dinner while his dad watched the boys. We love Olive Garden and eat there everytime we can.

After we were home for a week we got a call that Bo's uncle had passed away. We were able to go to the funeral and see some of is his family he hadn't seen in years. I got to meet people I have never met and we have been married for 9 yrs in Aug. We are thankful that we were able to go. The nunley family is in our prayers. They are an awesome family.

I will post pictures soon

Baby Kadence

2009-04-17T14:29:00.000-07:00

Kadence

2009-04-17T14:15:00.000-07:00

Kadence joined us on Feb. 7, 2009. She weighed 9.1 and was 21.25 inches long. She has been our biggest baby. It was a good thing our Dr. was at the hospital when we got there or he would have missed us. Contractions started at 7:15 in the morning and by 10:17 she was here. We got to the hospital at 9:50 and we were dialated to a 10 and the nurse started running around the room fast getting things ready and yelling for the Dr. and a nother nurse. We didn't have time for an IV even. This was our second natural birth. The Dr. was trying to transfer a pateint out to another hospital and got interupted because the baby was coming so fast. Kadence already has her Daddy wrapped around her finger.
