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.

Back to School

The kids started back to school on August 15th this year. Railey is in 5th grade this year. She is now in middle school and has a bunch of different classes. She likes it. She is excited this year to have a locker. She thinks that is "awesome". She was happy to go back to school. She likes school and was getting bored of being home every day. The boys are now in 1st grade. This year they are all in different classes. So far they are liking it a lot. I think it is good for them to be separated for a while during the day to let them be individuals instead of just being 1 of 3. It is challenging to figure out who has to do what for homework but we are getting it somewhat figured out. All 3 of their teachers do things very differently. I am pleased with who they have for teachers. They are all really good. It is so crazy that all the kids are gone all day. It is very strange to be home alone during the day. It is very nice and quiet though. I can get a lot done it a lot less time now. I am enjoying it. The baby will be here before we know and that will change things somewhat but it will still be nice. I find myself thinking that if I chose to I could actually take a nap with the baby. Imagine that! A nap has been a long time coming! The Boys and Dad on the first day of school

Railey Turns 10

Railey turned 10 years old on August 4th. Its hard to believe she is already that old. The years are just flying by. She really wanted a cake with a deer or elk on it. She loves hunting and looking for animals. She is such an animal lover and says she wants to be a vet when she grows up. That wouldn't surprise me a bit if that actually happened. She is a smart girl. Happy Birthday Railey!! We love you!!

No More Tonsils for Railey

On July 11th, Railey had surgery to remove her tonsils and adenoids. She has always gotten sore throats a lot. Many times it is strep and sometimes it is just infection that gets caught in her throat. We thought maybe she needed to have it done. Her doctor said her tonsils were huge and had evidence of chronic infections and said they needed to be removed. She was pretty miserable for about 8 or 9 days after. We hope that now she will have a better winter, and not have to suffer through. Plus with the new baby coming we don't need any more sickness. I think she will feel much better all winter.

Bradford Reunion

We had our Bradford Reunion back in July. It was a lot of fun. We went camping on the Elk Mountain. It was nice to sit back and relax for a few days. The kids enjoyed running free. Keri and Gerald brought a pinata for the kids which they loved. We played games and sat around and visited. We had lots of good food. A lot of the kids carved their own walking stick with their pocket knives. It was a great weekend. Grandma throwing darts
