A Visit from Grandpa Jacobs


Not long ago my Grandpa Jacobs came for a visit. I don't see him very often so it was fun to get together at my Uncle Jeremy's house for a big family visit. My Uncle Chris was there too. (I usually only see him on the weekends when I'm at Grandma's house.) And then, of course, my Aunt April, Miranda, Logan, Haylie, Hannah, and Lauren. It was a fun day. Everyone (everyone but me that is) ate pizza and talked (I didn't do much talking either. Eating and Talking, not my favorite things to do, although I am getting much more into that whole talking thing.)

I spent most of the time outside in the backyard with my Dada and cousins. I like to throw things over the fence into the pool next door, but don't tell the neighbor about it. She's kinda cranky.

Anyway, that was the visit. More later. Halloween is coming and I'm not sure how I feel about all the spookiness just yet.

Mama and Dada take a Night Off.

So when Mama and Dada got invited to Matt and Angie's wedding, they decided it was a good opportunity to get away on a Saturday night. Matt and Angie are good friends from work. We went to their house once, ate dinner, and swam in the pool. They also watched my older brothers, Ethan and Caleb, for a night while I was in the hospital for my second ph probe.

While at their house for dinner, I tried a tortilla chip for the first time. And they have dogs! I like dogs, but I don't think Mama will ever allow us to get one. I bet if I actually asked for it, she might run out that moment and buy one.

Anyway, Matt and Angie have always been willing to help a fella (or his parents) out, so I thought I'd give them some space on my ramblings to the cyber-world.


Here's my Mama and Dada on their night out, celebrating with their friends. Don't they look good together? Bom chica wow wow!


Oh, and there was the cutting of the cake. That was an exciting moment. My Dada and a trio of other fine men were asked to move the cake while on it's table to an area suitable for an audience. Can you imagine the pressure? Well, it all worked out nicely in the end. It was a pretty cool cake, so I heard.


And there was dancing, of course. Singing as well, but we probably don't need to go there. Here's a pic of Matt and Angie Switzer's first dance. The wedding took place in a quiet municipal park in Danville with a big open field surrounded by the most amazing houses and a creek my Dada probably could have pulled some nice fish out of if he'd had his stick with him.

Anyway, after the celebrating was done, Mama and Dada were off to the movies. That's they're favorite thing to do. Me, well, I got to hang with Grandma Jacobs. I think I got the better end of that arrangement.
