Our Summer in a Nutshell

The 24th celebration was so nice this year. We had a lot of fun spending time with our family and friends. We didn't make it to the parade but we did go to the dinner and fireworks show afterwards. It was a lot of fun.

The fireworks show was awesome this year. They always do a great job and Bryan was able to get some really cool pictures for me. We were a little unsure of how Olivia would do with them but surprisingly enough, she loved them. She just laid on my lap in amazement! It definitely made the evening more enjoyable to not have an upset baby.

Bryan turns 28! Such an old guy! His birthday was July 6th and I got him one of his favorite movies...So I Married an Axe Murderer! Funny guy!


Olivia is just STUFFED with personality. She is constantly making us laugh. She had quite the time one afternoon in her Jenny Jump Up and I was able to catch a few pictures. Such a fun girl!

This summer was our first Jacob Family Reunion. We all drove up to Alpine and camped for 3 days and had a blast. The weather was beautiful and we were right in the middle of a meadow by a creek so everyone fished and played games the whole time. It was so much fun. So relaxing! Everyone was able to make it which included 8 grand kids, 5 of us kids with their spouses, and my mom and dad. We all can't wait to go back next year!
My mom found this adorable beenie at the Children's Place for $0.19. I absolutely love it. There are matching gloves as well.

All of the grand kids with Nannie and Papa!

By day 3 everyone was pretty dirty but the nice thing about going camping with my dad and brothers is that you camp in style. Because they are outfitters they have the equipment and capabilities of making camp the most comfortable it could possibly be. We had it made! My dad even scrubbed out the back of his horse trailer and hooked up a nice hot shower in there for us. It sounds kind of weird but it was and felt FANTASTIC! Olivia, however, got the blue bucket bath and absolutely loved it. It made for some really cute pictures and she soaked us all as she played in the water. We all had such a fun time camping together and are really looking forward to going back next summer.
