Happy 2nd Birthday Jacobi!

The John Deere Pavilion in Molin, IL

Both mommy & daddy visited the John Deere Pavilion when they 

were little so they thought it would be a fun birthday outing for Jacobi.  

It didn't hurt that he loves diggers, tractors & anything that 

has wheels that got "round & round & round".

He was a little stunned/excited when we first walked in:)

"HUGE wheels!"

"Big Digger!"

They even had a play area with little tractors/diggers.

Jacobi thoroughly enjoyed putting them on the floor & 

lining them all up...just like he does at home:)

"Hi!"

Grandma, Mommy & Kaia take a break while 

Daddy & Jacobi tour the rest of the place.

Kaia took a snooze while we shopped for souvenirs.

Party Time!

Somehow great-grandpa Dwain escaped before I took this picture.

Happy Birthday Jacobi!

We love you:)

Snuggle time for Kaia 

(she slept through the whole present opening process:)

**I'm a little sad I didn't get any pictures of my presents.  My wonderful & thoughtful & giving husband consulted with my mom about what to get me for Christmas(apparently I'm difficult to shop for).  I had told him that I would LOVE for someone to clothes shop for me(I hate shopping for myself!).  He asked if there were people that you could hire to do that to which I replied "I don't know, that's your job to figure out".  I figured it was only possible in Hollywood:)  Anyway, my mom thought of my wonderful & talented cousins (who are the same height/size as me).  Adam gave them a budget & off they went.  I now have outfits that are stylish & coordinated beautifully, complete with accessories!  And, all I had to do was try them on to see if they fit...they did...every single one...even the boots from my mom & dad!  I can't thank my husband, mom & cousins enough for a great Christmas...I was totally surprised!
