Our Vacation!

This week our family went on our first Vacay alone as a family- to Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, MI. It was a blast, but tiring! (At least for Mommy and Daddy.) I thought I would do a little Photo blog. I will say this- Drew had a smile on his face the whole time, I kid you not. It was worth it for that fact alone.

Rebel rouser Drew- he's so tough!

Watching the singing animals- they were talked about the rest of the two days.

Singing, costumed animatronic animals- scary for Mom and Dad, enjoyed by Drew and Jacob.
The wolf gives a hestitant Drew a hug.
Jacob gives a High Five for Wolfie-man.
Drew loved the elevator.
Drew won this by howling like a wolf.
Lazy river- Dad's Favorite.
Jacob self portrait-don't know how he split his lip!
Jacob enjoyed the water, despite his expression.
Safety First!
Look at that smile!
He couldn't stop grinning!
We liked this- from a distance.
Drew loved playing with this contraption.
No he didn't REALLY go down this slide, we were just faking!
Kid favorite, the spouts.
Drew and Daddy climbed this to go down the tube slide.
Mommy missed the big picture due to Jacob wanting the camera as well. Best family pic ever! Only reason I would ever put a pic of me in a bathing suit up!
I WANT YOUR CAMERA NOW!
Second time, Mommy got the shot.
Pure Bliss!
This is what Jacob did....
While Drew slept.
Trick or treating- Drew got this cool crayon! Look how proud he is!
On the ride home, they both fall asleep. And Mommy and Daddy get one hour of relaxation during the vacation.

Jacob's Birthday Party

Thank you to all who came to Jacob's birthday party. It was a blast, and we appreciate all the wonderful gifts Jacob recieved. Thank you for celebrating this special milestone with us.

Jacob and his Daddy.

Drew and Allie saying "Cheese"! Over and over again....
Let me out too! It's my birthday! (Don't worry, we did).
The Cupcake Cake was a big hit even with the adults. I love Kroger Cake Frosting.
The Big Moment!
Drew helps out. What a good big brother.
I think he enjoyed destroying the cake more than eating it!
Literally the center of attention!

Happy Birthday Jacob!

I can't believe it has been a year already! What a crazy ride this has been, however I wouldn't change a minute of it. Jacob is a sweet, wonderful, wild little baby and I am so lucky that every time I see him even when he wakes at 5am, I am happy and excited to see his smiling face. He is a ray of sunshine. So please watch, comment (we will be saving them so Birthday well wishes are appreciated) and enjoy.


We love you Jacob!
