Happy fourth of July

Happy fourth of July, hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday! Our holiday started on Friday the 1st. We headed out of town as soon as I was able to finish with work (5:30pm, what the heck did I agree to ahhh this is year end and there was, is and will be a million things to do at work for the next month...ok year). Well Rick talked me into taking off all four days. We headed down to Shasta lake to meet up with the family. I am so happy we did! It was great, what an experience to hang out with Ricks amazing family. We had such a good time. The Loverin Family rented out practically the whole camp site. There were cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grandpa's, Grandma's, sisters brothers and of course Porter. :) I got a little bit too confident with my wake boarding abilities and decided to try going as big (jumping the wake) as I could and did...but I should have thought about my landing abilities because well I don't have any. I forgot to let go of the rope while my body slammed into the water (after being air-born and doing a 360 or 2, I don't exactly remember and this is what I was told). Needless to say I dislocated my shoulder and received a rushed ride the ER 45 minutes away. Thank god it's a quick recovery and I am back to running as of tomorrow. We had a great trip, even with my busted arm. After Shasta we headed to Applegate reservoir. It was really nice to spend this time with Grandma Jeanne and Grandpa Fred. It was just relaxing...except for the black bear that went swimming next to our camp the night Rick and I decided to sleep without a tent under the stars with Addie. So funny to hear the bear splash around in the water and let out a sigh that transposed species and communicated a happiness to be in a cool pool, ahhh - had this bear had a pepsi in hand it would have been the next best super bowl commercial. I on the other hand had to change my underwear - I was scared **itless. Enjoy the pics and cheers to Bears and cold water - :)

The many faces of Addie

The last few weeks have been busy - is there any other way to live? Not in the Jacobs family. Grandma Jeanne has been over to see us, Rick and I ran a half marathon, we traveled to Pacific City to see Great Aunt Patty and Great Uncle Dave, Rochelle came to town and I had a bout of food poisoning while Rick was working out of town....Yikes - what a busy last three weeks. Addie is almost talking to us, lots of sign language with opinionated statements. Adalie is still doing really well going to sleep around 7pm and sleeping until 6am. Her favorite food as of the moment is watermelon and maybe her honey nut O's. She is not much for mac and cheese or peanut butter sandwiches but put a bowl of coconut seafood curry in front of her and she's a happy girl, messy but happy. The new house is still amazing - it is very efficient and the running trails around the house are great.







Sugar sugar sugar please












Thank God the finish line is in sight!!!!






Happy fourth of July to everyone!

Beautiful Zion -

Zion is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. It is truly a place of relaxation and breathtaking landscapes. The pictures don't do it justice. If you are ever in the area "Oscars Cafe" just outside the park has great breakfast burritos and "Pizza & Pasta" has some of best pizza and beer I've tasted to date.

Next stop Vegas

Sunday, after the bay to breakers, I flew to Vegas for a work conference. I missed my little family so much, thankfully Nita was also attending the conference and met me in the lobby after I got in for a night cap. On Monday, Rick and Addie had made it to Vegas (they drove from San Fran). The conference was good, the weather was blah and the strip was way to consumer driven. Our best night in Vegas was a beautiful run out at Red Rock park (10 miles west of the city). It was amazing, we went running just before sunset and the colors of the desert floor and drastic red rocks were brilliant. I think even Addie was impressed. Next stop Zion -
