The day has finally come

Today is the day I've been dreading for the last 3 months. Jacob will be going back to work. It has been wonderful having him home all this time. We have had so much fun and gotten a lot done around the house. He truly is my best friend and I love him so much. We are both going to have a rough week adjusting. I'm sure Jaron and Jenna are going to have a hard time, too. Since it has been so long since I've posted I thought I would tell you what's been going on for the past month.

For Easter, we went to Fresno to spend it with Jacob's family. We had a great time. On Saturday we went to the zoo. It was fun, but I think the kids liked the snacks better than the animals. Jacob was so excited to get some pink popcorn and share it with the kids. That was one of his favorite things about going to the zoo when he was a kid.







When we got home, we got started on Jenna's room. We painted two walls bright pink and two walls white. We are still waiting for the furniture. We should have it by the end of the week or beginning of next. As soon as it is done I will post before and after pictures.

Last week, Jaron's school put on their spring music performances. The whole first grade performed together. Jaron was cracking us up. He was making faces the whole time. I asked him after why he was making faces and he said, to make me laugh. Well it sure worked. I love that boy!

Friday was Mother/Son game night at the school. Jaron and I had a blast. We played games together and ate dinner there, pizza and cake! Yum!
Saturday after Jaron's soccer game, Jacob and I left for Sacramento. Jacob was given another California Hero award from MADD for arresting 106 DUI's last year. I am so proud of him. He is awesome at finding drivers under the influence! We really enjoyed the dinner. Afterwards, we changed our clothes and walked through Old Sacramento for a bit. Then, Sunday morning we got up and had breakfast. Then we went to Roseville and spent the day shopping at the mall. We were able to get lots of new clothes for the summer for Jaron. He has outgrown almost everything from last summer and the beginning of school. I'm going to have to stop feeding that kid! He is going to be taller than me in no time.
Jacob's mom came up to watch Jaron and Jenna for us. They had lots of fun with Grandma. When I got home from helping out in Jaron's classroom yesterday, she taught me how to make pajama shorts for Jaron and Jenna. They turned out really cute. I will take pictures of them after they are washed and Jaron and Jenna are wearing them. I love sewing! My next project is to make myself an apron. Have a great week!
