lagging behind

So I apologize for all my blog friends that keep up to date with me by following our blog, I have failed you. I know I have no excuse, everyone is busy and some are still able to keep up with theirs, or keep in touch in other ways. I haven't been good at any contacts lately, but I will do my best to try and update you over the next several blogs. And hope you will accept my sincere apologies and my commitment to trying better to stay in touch across the many miles that connect us.

So for May....

Mother's day was great. We didn't do a whole lot, but sometimes that is the best. I got to spend wonderful time with my mother and My awesome husband and adorable son. Here are a few pictures we captured...

My Jakers, He is so special to me. I am so blessed that God gave me the responsibility of being his mother. He amazes me each day in what a gift he is. He is always learning new things, and it melts my heart when he says " I love you mommy" ( even though it still sounds like I woah vu mommy). He does the cutest things- that just laughter to my face- even when I am not around him.

My Mother- I can't give enough admiration to this wonderful woman. She has molded me through prayer and wisdom into the woman I am. Her example is exemptemary enough, but she offers more encouragement and love than anyone I know. She is such wonderful God fearing person and I am so blessed I got to be her daughter. She has carried me through prayer through some of the toughest times in my life, and physically didn't have to do anything but yet offered hugs, a warm hand, or a gentle rub on the back. I hope I am at least half the mother she is.

And finally my Husband, My life long partner. He is such a wonderful support. He showers me with love and even kisses. He is an incredible man that I get to share the wonderful journey of parenthood with. He is such an encourager and a wonderful Man of God. You must know he would be an incredible man by willing to put up with me for a lifetime, and empty my puke buckets often when I am pregnant.

Mothers day was great. At the end of May we got to enjoy my brother Matt and Lindsey's Wedding, as well as concluded my first year as a school nurse.

Jacob was in the wedding and we practiced beforehand and thought we had it down. Little did we know that the sound man would cue the wedding march a little early and everyone would stand up and Jacob would get scared and throw a temper tantrum in the middle of the isle. Well what do you say, He is two. Not to mention because of pictures he didn't get his usual nap. We were doomed from the start.

It was a beautiful wedding anyways, and My Brother Chris did an excellent job as the officiant. Congrats Matt and Lindsey.. Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure

The bride and her mom

Practicing while we wait for the photographer- we should have probably let him take a nap instead if we knew how long it would take for the photographer to get there

See, He didn't do too bad for the rehearsal

(okay I am finding I should probably have devoted an entire blog to the wedding so I will add more pictures in the next segment of lagging behind- don't worry it won't be all 100 and some that we took)
