Spring break fun!

It was nice to have a little spring break this year. We decided not to go anywhere this year since it was both Michael's and My first years on the job. Michael felt he couldn't take off this soon. So I got to enjoy spending time with my little Jacob. We had all sorts of fun, despite the undependable weather in Indiana.

On Wednesday, We visited one of my High school friends, (Ashley) and her little man (Evan). Jacob and Evan are about 6 months apart. It is fun to see them play together. There were only a few little disagreements over toys

It will be nice to have the summer off. I am sure Jacob and Evan will get to know each other even more this summer, as Ashley and I catch up.

You couldn't tell Jacob that we didn't go somewhere sunny over break. He woke up early one morning and thought he would catch some rays on the golf course.

A big accomplishment over spring break is that Jacob wore big boy pants almost all week. Even in public. He only had a couple accidents. I do have to say that one of them was after he had went all day in big boy pants and was less than 5 minutes in daddy's care and had an accident. A little side note, was he had a couple friends over and was a little distracted. The other was on a rainy day and I think he had no hope. At least it is a good start.

Okay I have to confess a little story. So Jacob's big boy underware have all kinds of little balls on them, Baseballs, Footballs, soccerballs, basketballs. He thinks they are really cool (and I have to admit they are pretty cute). Well I had told Jacob to remind him that he wasn't in his diaper not to get his little balls wet. Well it only occured to me in a public place when I told Jacob this trying to convince him to go to the bathroom and Michael looked at me in shock, that this little saying may not be appropriate since it could easily be mistaken. I am thankful for a Husband that keeps me in line. If it were not for his reaction I would still be telling Jacob not to get his little balls wet.

catching up

So I am a little behind. There has been so much going on, I don't know where to start. (which is probably why I haven't sat down to update you).

At the End of February, My family met up with my uncle Chris, Aunt Rachel, Malachi, and Ruth and went to Wana Waves. For Christmas in 2007, Grandma and Grandpa Sherck gave us gift certificates to stay at the hotel and go to the water park. We didn't get a chance to use them last year, but we made sure to use them this year. Uncle Chris, Aunt Rachel. Malachi, and Ruth also received the gift and used theirs the same time. Even though we weren't traveling from Indy to use this gift, and we were closer to home, it was nice to get away. And boy was it fun!!
Here is daddy helping me across the Lilly pads. I tried to reach the net, but I am just a little small still. I have to say I was pretty good.

Malachi and Uncle Chris, after they just got off the big water slide. I even rode the big water slide with Daddy and Mommy (at different times). I was a little scared at first, because most of it is in the dark, but then wanted to go over and over again. Mommy was very nervous letting me the first time.

This was part of the play area for kids, however this water was cold so I didn't enjoy playing on it as much.

Cheesing with Daddy

This was the kiddie slide in the younger kids area, and boy did I use it. I was timid at first, but it didn't take me long to ditch my parents hands and slide down it over and over again. Everyone was laughing at me because I kept saying, "1 more, 1 more"

We had a blast. I loved playing with my cousins Malachi and Ruth. Ruth and I jumped on the beds and the bunk beds. I didn't want to go anywhere without them. We celebrated Uncle Chris's Birthday and Uncle Brian even came and stayed with us.
