Happy BIrthday Jacob!!!!

Ok, this is the last post from the life of Jacob! LOL


If you are just now joining us, go and look at the first post in this series titled "BLAST from the Past" and catch up with us. Lots of pictures and fun!


First I want to post a couple of pictures of me and my Jacob. My life was forever altered the day he was born. I had such a fear that I wouldn't be able to have children and the day the doctor told me I was pregnant I thought I was dreaming! I didn't believe it until I saw the ultrasound. I know that I became a parent the day I became pregnant but on the day he was born I became a MOMMY! There is no name that I could think of that I love being called.

This first picture is a couple of days after he was born. (I wouldn't dare post any from the actual day, it was a LONG labor and TERRIBLE delivery!!! I needed a couple of days to look normal again, even though this is a rough picture of me, I have great memories from it.) I had such a feeling of love come over me in the moments right before this picture was taken. I guess that was the time I had bonded with him. We had been alone for a while and it was the most awesome thing to lay there and hold MY baby!

This next picture is just a random picture that I found that is one of my favorites of us. It was a fun day, we had family over and grilled out. He was such a CUTIE!

These next pictures are just Jacob through the years. Some are from babyhood and some are from birthdays. Hope you enjoy my Jacob!

Sweet Baby boy!

8th birthday, Mrs. Tobey, Jacob and Mr. Lem

There is a great story to this birthday. We had the idea to raise money for missionaries instead of getting gifts and he was so excited to do this! So he picked Mr. Lem's parents who are missionaries to Africa and he raised $280.00 for them! I think he is a pretty awesome little guy! He has a heart bigger than his little body!

I can't believe that my baby is going to be 9 years old tomorrow. It has gone by too fast.

Jacob, I love you with all my heart and soul. I wish the best for you in your amazing life God has given you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB!!!!!

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!
