Steve's Birthday Weekend!

I celebrated Steve's birthday all weekend! It was so much fun...I will let the pictures do most of the talking :)

Steve wanted to spend time with Jacob on his birthday! We came over and celebrated with Steve until Jacob had to go to his dad's house.



We went out to dinner with his family! It was a great time and the employees sang to Steve!


After Steve opened gifts, Britani and I made faces at each other....this was the best one :)


We went out with Steve's friends and had a great time. We didn't go to bed till 5am! After we woke up, we went to the mall to see Hello Kitty!


On Saturday night, we enjoyed dinner with Steve's dad and his wife. It was so great to see them again. I ordered nachos and I had no idea that the plate would be this massive!


Steve and I at dinner <3


After we went and looked at books at Bookman's and we looked at their music section. Steve found some hard to find vinyl! It was a great evening.

Today we went to the movies! We had a awesome time watching:


We both really liked it and we both thoroughly enjoyed the weekend! I cant wait till next years birthday celebration!

Happy Birthday to my love :)

Happy birthday Steve! I love you so much! It isn't enough to call you and wish you a happy birthday (like I already did), or write it on your MySpace or Facebook, I need to also declare it on my blog too!

I love you for so many reasons, but here are a few I want to share...

1. I love your heart. You have given me more love than I have ever experienced. I love how you treat Jacob and how you have the patience to play with him for hours.
2. I love your selflessness. I love how you are always willing to help me out. I really appreciate how you help me with my stuff but also Jacob's...like putting together his drum set or helping me with his big boy bed. You are always listening to me talk about things that bother me, things that make me happy or whatever...you are just amazing.
3. I love your foresight. Usually you can see the outcome of something and you tell me what you think about it. Whenever I haven't taken your advice, I am usually wrong...so yes, I am saying you are almost always right!
4. I love your willingness to try new things. Anytime something comes up, you are game! I love that about you. I know we will have many adventures together.
5. I love your passion for music, movies and pop culture! I also have that passion but yours is way more intense. You are always introducing me to bands or showing me cool movies. I love going to shows with you and enjoying music with you!
6. I love how you take care of me (thank you!). If I have a headache, a bad day or just want a glass of water you are always there to either make me feel better, hear me out or get up for me so I don't have to. I know that when you are around, I am well taken care of...you know that it goes both ways!
7. I love your love of books! I have always loved that about you! I remembering you telling me that you also enjoyed The Bell Jar and swooning internally. I love how we always go to book stores and check out new books, comics and anything else that could feed our minds!
8. I love your love of vinyl. I always have fun with you when we go on the prowl for records! I love being able to bond with you over that, not many people like records :)
9. I love how you serenade me and write me songs! It is so romantic. I love your voice and I think you are really talented. I love listening to all of the songs you write me! Not to mention, when you are away I listen to the recordings of your bands :) I love it!
10. I love YOU!!!!!!!!! All of you! Baby, I am so glad you were born!
    

The Fair with Polliana and our kids!

Polliana and I decided to take our boys to the State Fair! We had such a great time counting mullets (unfortunately, we only saw two...but we did see a rat tail), looking at the sights and having good ol' fashion Fair fun!

We met the AZ Lotto Guy!



Then we did this one ride that seemed harmless but it scared not only the kids but us parents too. It went up in the air and had jumps in it. It was awful...this is Jacob and I on the ride before it started...



After the horrid ride, we decided to take a break from rides for a little while. We went and watched a pig race.





Then the boys got to play!








We also played games! Here is a picture of Jacob with the stuffed animal I won him :)


Also, we brought home a new family member...Robot Fish (Jacob named him)


Jacob looking up at the camera :)


Then it was more rides!



We were so tired once it was over...




We all cant wait to go back! The fair is so much fun. I am so glad that we got to enjoy it with our friends!

Princess Jacob

Jacob has insisted on being Princess Jacob since Monday! It is pretty cute and I think he looks adorable!

MC CHRIS Show!

Steve's mom surprised us with last minute tickets to MC Chris! So that is what we did on Halloween night!


This is us before the show (the devil, the princess, Clementine, and Joel {"Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind"}


At the venue


We all met MC Chris




It was an awesome Halloween! Also, a big thanks to Steve's mom for the tickets!

Trick or Treating With Jacob

Well, I was going to be Amy Winehouse this year, thanks to all that voted! The party that I was going to attend got canceled so I wasn't going to dress up at all. My ex-husband wanted Jacob this year for Halloween, even though it wasn't his year so we agreed to both take him separately trick or treating and this is the costume I came up with to take him in, much more appropriate than Amy Winehouse!

Jacob kept calling me Princess Mommy! Jacob was Kurt Warner!



Steve went as a devil!




It was a bunch of fun! I love Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving!

Steve and I got a big pumpkin for carving that night while Jacob was at his dad's house. It was so much fun! Britani and Sean came over and ended up helping too!


About to start :)



Working hard...




The final product!

Pumpkin Patch 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to the pumpkin patch this past Friday and it was really memorable! Here are just some of the many photos from that day.


I love Jacob so much! I love that this is a yearly tradition for us!



Steve, Jacob and I


Jacob and I in the playhouse.



We are a bunch of animals!




Like last year, Jacob got hurt. He is fine, but this year and last he bumped his head. I made him feel better though!


Getting lost in the hay maze!



He started to look frustrated and like he was going to cry so Steve came to the rescue and got him!



They made it!



Surrounded by pumpkins!



He picked his pumpkin!


Then we went to decorate the pumpkin!





On the hay ride!






I cant wait for next year!

Dinner & Donuts

Steve and I took Jacob out to dinner and donuts the other night. It was a lot of fun.

Jacob and me:

Jacob is a big boy!

I neglected to blog about Jacob sleeping in a big boy bed! His bed is a toddler day bed style and also Jacob has his own drum kit! I keep the kit in my room because that way he isn't playing it in the middle of the night. We have jam sessions all the time and so much fun together with it! He is also doing a great job using the potty! 3 is a great age for Jacob!
