So today, I was getting our swimming stuff together and other things ready because after I got my checks printed, we were going to meet a friend at the North Shore Aquatic Center and I didn't want to have to come back home to get our stuff. While I was in her room gathering a couple of items, Bekka started yelling that Catie was hurt. So I picked her up and was trying to comfort her. When I turned her around there was blood everywhere! She had hit her chin on the coffee table and her tooth went through the top lip of her mouth on the right side! I called Travis to tell him I may have to take her for stitches and then I called my Mom to see how deep a cut would need to be to need them. After debating for a few minutes while I got the bleeding under control, I decided to take her in. They said that because it was above the lip line, they would probably need to put in a couple of stitches, she ended up with three. Travis met us there and took Bekka so I could stay with Catie. They had to strap her down to help to keep her still and she cried so hard and kept saying Mama. I felt so bad and I probably was crying as hard as she was! I bet that she has already forgotten about it, but I haven't and probably never will! My poor little girl, all she wanted was her mommy and I couldn't do anything about it! Once they were done, I got her off of the bed and held her close trying to comfort her and get her to calm down as I tried to calm myself down also. We walked Travis to his truck and then the girls and I went to visit my Mom at work for lunch. After that, we went home and Catie fell asleep in the car....she slept for about 3 1/2 hours this afternoon and I am sure she really needed it after the traumatic afternoon she had.

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! :)
