For all of you that do not like to look at pictures you may not want to check my blog out for the next few days.
My Jacob will be turning 9 on Thursday the 24th and with 9 years of life behind you it takes a while to cover it all! I have been scanning pictures like crazy!
I may get it all posted today but it may take me a couple of days. Not sure.
For his birthday we are going skating and then we are having a sleep over. I have a lot to do in the next few days. So I am gonna try and get all these pictures posted.
I am warning you, there will be A LOT of pictures. I wanted to go down memory lane for Jacob, he really likes to look at my posts sometimes so I figure he would really like this.
This first post is going to be pictures of some of the people that mean a lot to us and were around when he was born. If you are someone that means a lot to Jacob and we don't post a picture of you here it is because 1. we didn't have any or 2. we couldn't find them. There are lots of people that Jacob loves and that love him but we just don't have pictures of them all.
Hope you enjoy our memories!!
This first one is my good friend April, who most of you will know from
her blog, and her hubby Mitch. She is like my sister. This was before she had her kiddos.
*****************************************
This is my sister in law. At the time she only had 2 children and she now has 5! It is always a blast when our families get together. She and Jacob have a pretty cool relationship. And he loves my brother, her husband, a whole lot too. I couldn't seem to find pictures of him with Jacob?
*****************************************
This is my step mom. She and my dad have been married since before George and I got married so my kids have always known her.
*****************************************
This is my dad. Jacob thinks he is so cool! He is always asking to go and see his dogs. He raises American Bulldogs.
**************************************
This is my mom. She has always loved to read to my children. They always ask her to read to them when they see her.
******************************************
This is my step dad, Paw-Paw as the kids call him. He passed away last September and I will be posting a seperate post about Paw-Paw and pictures of him with Jacob.
*****************************************
Last but not least, this is Nanny, my grandmother. She passed away in November of 2002 and we miss her so much. She ADORED Jacob. She lit up when she saw him. And he loved her too. He doesn't remember a lot about her but he does know who she is and how much she loved him. She raised me for most of my life and was the most important person in my life until I met my husband and had my children.
*******************************************
And this is just a better picture of my step dad and Nanny. I love this picture of them and wanted to share it.
Stay tuned...............

Michelle, this is a precious, precious post! It just seems like yesterday that he was born, and now he is almost as tall as you! LOL! I remember the night before he was born, I was so inexperienced in these sort of things, I had to get out to the hospital RIGHT AWAY!!! I thought he would be born just any minute. Well, 3:14 a.m. is not just ANY minute (this is strictly personl opinion!LOL). Thank you for sharing all of these pictures of your family with Jacob. He is so blessed to have so very many people who love him.
I love you Jacob, and I'm proud to be your godmother, and Mitch is proud to be your godfather (not in an Al Pacino - mafia sense that is...)! I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Love,
April :0)
OK, tell Mr soon-to-be-birthday-boy that Ms. JoAnna wants her picture made with him!!!
