Wow!

Almost done packing, but the bare minimums. Wow I can't believe that we are leaving so soon. We are so excited to move to Ohio (of course I just choose not to think about us leaving family). I just wish all the details were all worked out. I also wish I could just wiggle my nose and we would be in Ohio.

Jacob and I are traveling to see family and giving JJ plenty of space for a distraction free study time for Boards. Lucky him!

Our own little preschool.

Jacob and I have been having so much fun. We have been doing activities, movies, songs, coloring, and finding all his things with either the color, letter, shape or number that we are working on. I have found that it is a lot easier and more fun to do colors and letters. We always have a full day of activities when we work on letters. I think that those are his favorite days too. He is so smart. I just love him so much. Jacob has so much energy; it is hard to keep up with him.

We leave in about 2 months for Ohio. We were excited to finally get a little more information on the rotations in Ohio; not much but I'll take it. JJ is working hard and studying all the time, but it is really paying off. So far this year he has gotten straight A's, and this quarter is no different so far. We are so proud of him. He is also studying for his board exams. JJ is busy, busy, busy.

I have just been busy packing and playing with Jacob. I think that I am about halfway done with the packing, but there is only so much that I can do right now. I will just have to wait, but I am a little anxious!! Jacob has been such a good helper.

Packing, Packing and more packing!

Well first of all Easter was a blast! Jacob had so much fun this year. He went crazy just picking up as many eggs as he could. (pictures soon).

I have 15 moxes packed already, but still have so much to do. I am kind-of at a stand point where I can't do much more for another 2-3 weeks. We are very excited to move to Ohio. Well better get back to getting ready to move.

So JJ is finishing his last quarter of classes!!!! I am so excited with this new schedule. On Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday JJ is done with classes by noon!!!! Even though he needs to study (which he does at home), it is nice because Jacob takes his nap at about 12:30. So while Jacob is sleeping and JJ is studying at home I can run errands!!!!! I love my son, but it is so nice to go by myself.

I have now packed 7 boxes, but I still have so much to pack! I just want everything to go smoothly. JJ will be very busy studying for his board tests, and we will be moving the day after his test. Lots to do, with plenty of time. I figure if a do some boxes evey week then I won't get too stressed out.

Jacob is just getting so big. He is started to talk so much, even though he doesn't articulate too well yet. I just love it!!!!

Jacob's favorite word!

So Jacob has discovered a new word........."NO". He is saying no to everything; even when he wants something (like when i ask him if he wants a snack, he says no but then walks over to the pantry waiting for a snack). He is so silly!

When I found out that I was pregnant with Jacob, I gave JJ a baby book called "Kisses for Daddy." It is so cute. So basically the whole story is the Daddy bear trying to get a good night kiss from the baby bear. He tries all different kinds of kisses...koala, giraffe, tiger, bat and more....but everytime the baby says "NO, no kisses for daddy."

Jacob is so funny, he just laughs so much when JJ reads him the book.
I just love seeing Daddy and son time.

Jacob is just growing up so quickly.

Moving

Why it is so difficult to move? You would think that I would have this down by now, since we have moved every year of our marriage. This is by far the biggest move, since we are moving to Ohio. We need to change everything (insurance-health, car, renters..., address info, doctors, and so on). I think once we are out their it will be nice, and a new adventure.
Well nothing else new with us really, except that Jacob is talking all the time. He is so cute, if I ask him to say something he doesn't want to, but if I am just talking to him he says all sorts of words.

Christmas Eve!

I am so excited for tomorrow! This is Jacob's 2nd Christmas, but the first that he will actually be able to unwrap his own gifts. We have a very busy Christmas Eve and Christmas day with family. Also, we (The Cooley girls) are singing at the Temple Christmas night. Have a very merry Christmas!!!
