LAGOON

Friday morning, Travis decided that we should take the kids to Lagoon and stay at the campground. So I loaded up the camper and Friday after he got off of work we drove to Farmington and got all set up. Saturday morning we were at the gate when the park opened! It was so nice that day because it was partly overcast and the park wasn't very crowded like we thought it would be on a Saturday. We spend the morning riding rides, the entire day we walked on nearly every ride we wanted to go on because it wasn't packed. Then at about 12:30 we went back to the trailer and had lunch, changed into our swimming suits and went to Lagoon A Beach. About 4:30, we went back to the trailer and changed back into our clothes and went back to the park until closing! Bekka had so much fun! She rode nearly every roller coaster and ride that she wanted to! She rode the Bat about 1/2 a dozen times and Catie was even able to ride alot of the rides also! We had so much fun! I can't wait to take the girls again! Sunday when we were pulling out of the campground, I looked over at the parking lot and the first lot was nearly FULL! So we picked the perfect day to go to Lagoon!

4 Generations...

Joyce and Hugh came out the day after the 4th of July on thier way home from Idaho after picking up Travis's Grandparents. They stayed Sunday night with us before heading back to Nebraska. Below is a picture of 4 generations of Jacobs!

4th of July 2009

This year, I had a booth for Scentsy at the City's celebration. Then I came home and Travis took Bekka to get some fireworks. My parents came over that evening for hamburgers and hotdogs, then we lit some of the fireworks. Catie didn't like them, especially the loud, crackling ones!!! She finally started to like them though! Everytime Travis lit one, she would run to my Mom! We were able to watch the big firework show from our front yard again which was so nice because we didn't have to fight the crowds!

Baby Contest 2009

I entered Catie in the Baby Contest again this year in our city. She won Most Independent! She is so very independent! :) Before the contest started, I had given her a small baggie full of Trix cereal and she was everyone's best friend! But she wouldn't share with any of the kids! She looked so adorable! :)

Bekka doing Catie's Hair

Bekka put every barrett we own in Catie's hair! I can't believe that Catie let her do it! :)

Easter 2009 Green River, UT

We spent Easter in Green River for the second time since we have had children. We took the kids to color Easter Eggs at a friends home, then Easter morning we spent at the trailer. In the afternoon, we went to the park and then went to our friends home for an Easter Egg Hunt! The kids had so much fun!!!

Day 4 & Day 5

I forgot to take one last night, so this one was taken this morning at about 10:00 am. None of the catapillars had started making thier cocoons yet....They were all starting to make thier way to the top of the container though.
This one I took tonight at 10:00 pm....This afternoon when we returned from Layton after feeding the ducks, playing at the park and our adventure to Costco for lunch and a few other things, one of the catapillars had already transformed into the cocoon. Tonight 2 more were upside down and getting ready to change!!!! Bekka is so excited!!!!
