Jacob's new trick

Jacob has turned into a climber. He wants to climb everything and can get onto the dinning room chairs by himself. Monday night I changed his clothes and we were about to leave to meet up with my parents and my second (?) cousin and his wife who were in town. While walking down the hall I heard a splash and found Jacob on top of the dinning table having just dumped my red fruit punch all over him. Apparently he was trying to get a drink and it came out a little fast.
This is the other talent he has developed....Sigh. He really likes the fast cook button.

I am not a theif! Well, technically...

This past weekend Brancent's best friend Jesse and his girlfriend Krystal came to visit for Brancent's birthday. The best part was that Brancent didn't have a clue they were coming. They arrived 1:00 am. Saturday morning so I had told all kinds of lies trying to keep Brancent from going to bed and to, uh, get him to put something on other than his pj/undies. The look on his face was priceless when they walked in! They brought their puppy Diesel with them and he and Jacob were quite pair.


Thanks so much Jesse and Krystal for coming to visit! Maybe next time I'll get some pictures of you too :)

Brancent got a little cardboard boat from his work (I know, random) and Jacob has been testing it out. Like father like son.
Now on to the title of the post. Some of you know our friends Eddie and Socorro Baggerman that live a few blocks from us. Several weeks ago Eddie had a wreck on his motorcycle while travelling on the highway. He has first and third degree burns on his arms and legs due to laying on the hot asphalt, but thanks be to God no broken bones. It could have been a lot worse. We stop by to see him one night last week on our way to the grocery store. Socorro was on her way home so I called and asked if she need anything. She told me of a few things she needed and then added "and some chocolate". Socorro hates chocolate, but will eat it when she is stressed and said that day was a chocolate day and she wanted a Milky Way. We got our groceries and made our way to the front. On the way to the front I began the check out routine: Get diaper bag and purse out to cart, find checkbook, look for a pen, find license, continue to look for pen, entertain Jacob/keep him positioned so he can't reach anything, find pen. I saw a display with a Milky Way close to the front of the store, grabbed it and got in line. We paid for the food, and headed to Socorro's house to drop off her groceries. She asked for her chocolate and at first I thought I hadn't gotten it. We looked through all the bags and it wasn't there. Puzzled we looked again, just for kicks I looked in the diaper bag and there it was. That's when I realize I had absentmindedly dropped it in my diaper bag, therefore-stole it. I found my receipt and checked sure enough I hadn't paid for it. So the next day I went back to pay for the stolen chocolate and here is the receipt to prove it.

I'm not a thief!....anymore :)

Happy Birthday Brancent!

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dearrrrr Brancent
Happy Birthday to you!

I can't believe it has been so long since I have blogged. It will take several post to catch up on all the summer going-ons. But for today just a post to say Happy Birthday to my sweet husband. You are amazing. You the best provider and protector that anyone could ask for. I love you!

Ummm this would be where I put a picture of Brancent and I in....but just realized I don't have one!
