Catch Up/Rexton is growing up fast

So I have let about 6 months go by without posting anything. It just seems like I don't ever have enough hours in the day to get what I need to done. Railey Spent January and February playing basketball, and the boys spent January, February and March wrestling. Railey also played volleyball in March and April. Between taking them all to practice and games and matches we were always running around. I was glad when everything was done for the season. We got the garden all done and planted in May and it is growing well. We got baby chicks back in March. Rob built a chicken coop and now they are pretty much full grown and we are just waiting for them to start laying eggs. The kids have had a lot of fun watching them grow. They have turned one of them into a pet and it follows them everywhere. Rexton is sure growing like crazy. It seems like we just had him, but he turned 8 months old yesterday. He is so much fun. He is such a happy baby and rarely gets upset or fussy. He is rolling all over the place and sitting up and moving like crazy. I don't think it will be long before he is off and crawling. We are going to be in trouble when he does crawl. He is busy and wants to see and touch everything. He had his first haircut when he turned 7 months old. It was pretty long on top and pretty wild. He looks so much more grown up. Here are a few pictures of him over the last few months.

Christmas 2012

We had a good Christmas this year. It seems like it came and went pretty fast. This year was kind of crazy. We had a lot going on. With just having had Rexton at the end of October I was slow to get going on any shopping and getting things done ahead of time. We also blessed Rexton and had the triplets birthday the week before. So by the time I was able to focus on just Christmas it seems like it was gone. We had fun though. The kids got a lot of fun things. Santa brought them all bean bags for the basement so they can watch movies and play the wii downstairs. Hooray!! The boys got new bikes which will be so nice this summer. They were pretty excited because they were "General Lee" bikes. They can't believe they have "Dukes of Hazard" bikes. It has been so cold and snowy though that they haven't gotten to try them out yet. They go to the garage everyday and sit on them and check them out. They can't wait until it is warm enough to get out and ride. Railey got new binoculars which she loves. She loves going out and looking at deer and everything else. Rexton got some fun baby toys and clothes. Next year though, I WILL wrap presents earlier and not wait until 2 days before!

Rexton's Blessing Day

We blessed Rexton on December 15th, 2012 at our home in Oak City. We had a little get together with a few friends and family. Grandma and Grandpa came all the way from Blanding to spend the day with us as well as Richard and Judy Winwood from Salt Lake. Richard was Rob's mission president in Canada. They have stayed very close through the years. And that is where Rexton's middle name comes from. Rob's Uncle Weldon and Aunt Teresa came from Tooelle. We also had some close friends that live nearby here with us. It was a good day. We blessed Rexton and then we had a lunch. After lunch we celebrated the triplets birthday and had cake and ice cream. It was fun visiting and spending some time with everyone. We are very lucky to have such wonderful friends and family who support us. We love them all very much.

Triplets turn 7!

The triplets turned 7 years old on December 16th. Its hard to believe they are that old already. They are growing up so fast. We celebrated the day before. Their birthday fell on Sunday this year. We had a little get together with friends and family and celebrated their birthday. We also blessed Rexton the same day. The boys got lots of fun things from friends and family. We saved a couple presents for them to open on Sunday. This is a picture of them opening one of them. They loved their hot wheel holders. These boys are crazy when it comes to cars and hot wheels.

Welcome Baby Rexton

Our new baby Rexton Richard Jacobs joined our family on October 25, 2012. He was born at Delta Community Medical Center in Delta, Utah. He was delivered by Dr. Steven Shamo at 8:15 a.m. by C-section. He weighed 7 pounds 0 ounces. He was 19 inches long. He had dark brown hair and dimples that we noticed right away. He is a beautiful baby. He is a very good baby and very content. We are enjoying him so much. The kids love him to pieces. It is crazy to have a tiny baby in the house again but we love it and couldn't imagine it any other way now. He is now 3 weeks old and doing great. I am healing well and feeling better each day. Here are some pictures of delivery day and a few others.

Deer Hunting

This year Rob went hunting with his muzzleloader for deer. He took a different boy each day so they all had a chance to go hunting with dad. Ranger was the last one to go and they ended up shooting a little spike that day. Ranger was beyond excited to have been there.

Happy Birthday Rob

Rob celebrated his birthday back on September 25th. We got an ice cream cake for him this year. The kids had never heard of ice cream cakes so they thought it was very cool that the whole cake was ice cream.
