A message to Daddy:

Dear Daddy,

I cried a lot after you left this morning because I am going to miss you so much while you are away for work. We went to Reading group and are back home now and I feel a bit better (but not much, he says). I will be looking forward to talking to you on Skype later on tonight. I miss you, Daddy. I love you and I hope you get back home soon.

Love from Jacob

Happy Birthday Uncle Oneil!

Just a note to say Happy Birthday to a great uncle! We are all very excited because Aunt Tracy and Uncle Oneil are getting married in June 2011! How cool!
What else is happening these days? Well, Christmas and New Years have passed and our next exciting events will be birthdays, vacation and Easter. Always lots to look forward to. We are blessed. Jacob enjoys skating and sledding on weekends and is especially happy when some of his friends from school are also at the toboggan hill. He also LOVES spending time with his cousins. Family is such a blessing.

Our New Pets

Favorite New Toy

We are away on our mini-winter vacation. We left home on Tuesday night and it is now Saturday night. While we were with Mom at her conference we went to do some shopping at Walmart. The nurse was doing flu shots so we had to get ours. We didn't want to but Mom got us each a Zhu Zhu pet, which made it all better. The flu shot didn't hurt much anyway.

I will now introduce you to my Kung Zhu, named Azer Master Kage. We are trying to upload video but for now I have a couple of pictures of him for you.

Jacob's Joke of the Day

Q: What does a monster eat after he's been to the dentist?
A: The dentist

Good-bye Dino Shoes

Jacob took this photo of his favorite Dino shoes that had to go tonight when I took a look at exactly how worn out they had become! Jacob and James each had a pair that were gifts from Aunt Lynda & Great Grandma. They absolutely loved them because they were designed with cool dinosaur pictures on the sides and also made dino footprints when they walked in sand or mud (patterns on the soles). Super cool because these boys LOVE their dinos. Anyway, there were holes in the soles and almost holes in the toes -- so Jacob took the pictures and we said good-bye. Maybe we'll find some cool replacements in Florida in March. Good-bye cool dino shoes.

Thrilling Dance Moves!

Jacob loves to dance to Beat It & Thriller. He wanted to post this video on his blog.

Jacob says, "I like Michael Jackson because he is the best singer in the world. My favorite songs are Thriller & Beat It. Below you will see me dancing to Beat It with my brothers. Someday I hope to take dance lessons and learn how to be a performer (singer & dancer) when I get bigger."
