Some Family + Temple Square=Love!

In December, Taya and I had the chance to go to Temple Square to see the lights with some of my family (Kenny had to work, BOO!) . It was a blast we drove down to Ogden and hopped on the train to SLC! When we arrived in Salt Lake the weather was beautiful, it was like 50* (shocking for Utah, a lot of us didn't even wear coats for most of the day). I don't think we could have picked a better day to go. Here's a few pictures to enjoy!



"I Love to see the Temple"

I love how the sun hit the Temple in this picture! Breathtaking!


It's going to sound funny considering Taya's not looking at the camera, but I really love this picture. We couldn't get her to look at the camera for anything. She just kept pointing and looking at the statue of Jesus and saying GG (that's how she say's his name). It hit a tender spot in my heart!

I tried to take pictures of the lights but my camera really sucks at night! This is about the only one that didn't turn out blurry. It's of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in the reflection pool in front of the Temple.

The trip was so much fun! I am so glad that I had the opportunity to go! It really put me in the Christmas spirit and was a great reminder of the true meaning of Christmas!

Steelhead fishing-October 2010

OK OK--So My computer has been down for a couple of months so forgive me for not posting as much as I should lately.

The last week in October we went on our annual steelhead fishing/Jacobson family reunion trip. We camped, fished, ate, watched movies , occasionally went on walks when we would feel like we were being to lazy. It was a pretty fun time. Sherry was kind enough to watch Taya for me so I was able to go fish in the boat with Kenny for a couple hours, two different day's. It was so relaxing to be trapped in a boat and not have to be paying attention to where Taya was and what she was getting into. The one-on-one time with Kenny was awesome too. It seldom happens anymore now we have Taya! Here are a couple pictures from our trip this year!


Grandma and Taya


Kenny rowing the boat down the rapids with his Dad and Uncle Roger

WHEW! They made it!


My fish that I caught! (YEAH)

Kenny was trying to get Taya to touch the fish...She did NOT want anything to do with it. After this picture she buried her head into Kenny's legs so she wouldn't have to look at it.
This was one of our last day's at camp...Forgive us if were not looking the great. We had a pretty awesome time!
