It’s funny to me

Hey Everyone

This is Jacob filling in for my mom. She totally is not on the ball with this blog. Lately, she’s been so “busy” laying on the couch or googling pregancy questions she just hasn’t updated things in a while. It’s not that I haven’t done anything cute…oh no I’ve given her PLENTY of material to write hundreds of posts. But I digress. I guess we were all a little busy finishing up the school year (I’m now officially a 2nd grader). But my mom has promised she’ll do a better job with updating the blog from now on (or at least until school starts again).  Ok back to me, I’m going to be a big brother! I’m crossing my fingers for a brother although my mom is dying to paint my old room pink and buy dresses. I’ve decided to call the baby ‘Tucker’ from now on, I pretty much just thought it up in my head…seriously I did. We will find out what the true identity of this baby is in August, not to take away from my BIRTHDAY in August! The theme this year is a mix of Transformers and Star Wars…BOYS ONLY (except my mom) Well that pretty much does it. I need to get back to eating half the food in my house and watching cartoons. Hopefully the next post will be from mom.

Bye!

Since Jacob started school, I have been known from time to time to put cheezy little notes in his lunch box. Recently and completely out of the blue, I received one in my lunch box from Jacob and this is what it said:

Dear Mom you are beyutful. I mis you. You are fun to play with. Love Jacob

My heart melted on the floor and I think I’m raising a future Romeo.

Jacob: God is dead. God is dead. Mom is God dead?

Me: No. He’s in heaven

Jacob: OH…so He’s dead.

Before going to Ikea we visited the Billy Graham library, so I’m guessing Jacob had lots of God questions mulling over in his head.

Mom, I am telling you the truth. This is like double truth. I’m serious….Do you believe me?

Jacob ran around the house trying to kill a fly yesterday, his frustration started to show a bit as I heard him yell
“man these things are SOO tricky!”
“Oh I got him!…wait..what! That was like a trick death!”

Me: Jacob you don’t have to get it…they usually die on their own after a day or so

“No! I’m not listening to you I HAVE to get this guy”

One of Jacob’s favorite phrases is “on the ball”. Something Reid taught him in the morning when he was getting ready for school. Jacob has really taken this on the ball thing seriously, and he is usually more responsible than the two of us for making sure we have everything we need to get out the door. Yesterday he was walking around the house with a ruler in his hand….

Jacob: Mom I’m just walking around the house making sure everyone is on the ball

Me: OK

Jacob: What are you doing?

Me: Looking at a recipe online

Jacob: Ok you’re on the ball..you’re looking at a recipe

Me: thank-you

Yesterday was the “Run for the Oaks 5K” in downtown. Me and Reid were signed up to run it, and Jacob wanted to run with us. Although it was cold and rainy, he finished in record time…34:30! This is probably better than my 1st 5K time. I decided to run ahead while Reid and Jacob ran together, it was so cute to see him coming down the finish line. I don’t have any pictures since it was so rainy, but he plans on doing another one with us next weekend. Here’s the course map

Over a dinner of macaroni and cheese the other night (Annie’s Bunny Pasta) Jacob wished between forkfuls that the world be made of macaroni and cheese, including all the walls in our house…and that once you ate through the macaroni and cheese layer, there was a chocolate layer as well. Mmmm.

This was taken over 4 years ago, down the street from where we used to live. There was an old dirt road and fields and a farm and a beautiful old church. ‘Twas a lovely day.
