Bath Time

So while Marc was in Alaska Jacob and I stayed with my parents! We had a great week and I brought everything under the sun from our house to my parents house so Jacob would be comfortable. The one thing I didn't bring was our baby bathtub. None of the sinks at my parents house would work so my mom bought him a tub. It is so great and he loved it so much I took it to our house and gave them our old one :) Here are a few pictures of him before the bath and lounging in his tub. Good thing Grandpa was there to document!





These were the two bath photos that were "appropriate" :)

Photo Shoot

My Dad did a photo shoot with Jacob last week. The pictures turned out great! I think this will become a regular event. It makes such a difference having a pro take the pictures!
This first picture was our favorite and we made it larger and put it in a frame for Marc to take to his office. It was his birthday present from Jacob!




My Dad always has to take at least one funny picture...

Trip to Fairbanks AK

I got the pleasure of traveling to Fairbanks Alaska to visit a gold mine who is a customer of ours. I also got to go in November when it was still "warm" 4 degrees in the city and 17 at the mine. Here are some pics

Loading the trucks

The gold dirt goes in, this huge dirt pile at least 10 stories high.

The clean dirt with no gold comes out

After a hard days work we had to eat. We enjoyed prime rib at The Turtle Club. This was the medium 14 oz prime rib dinner and yes I ate most of it.


Where am I again?

Alaska Pipeline. It was kind of a let down.

I made it to North Pole Alaska

Starting to carve the ice sculptures for the World Ice Carving championships in March. Maybe I can come back and see them and enjoy the cold weather of -40 degrees.

Hang out with Dad

Mr.Jacob now likes to sit up and hang out with me while we watch football. I am going to have to figure out how he got that remote. NOBODY TOUCHES DADDY'S REMOTE during football season.

Big Adventure

Jacob and I went with my mom to visit Jacob's Great Grandma Mary in Washington DC! Jacob did an amazing job flying and we had a good time visting family. My Grandma lives near Georgetown and we took lots of walks and just spent time at the house. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Four generations- Jacob, me, my mom, and grandma

Ok so I put my vanity aside to show the picture of Jacob and me on the plane. This is on the way home and I was EXHAUSTED!!!
