July2008









Hi all,
We had a busy little month of July. We headed to Ohio on the 3rd, and spent some time with the whole Snyder family and lots of friends. We celebrated Little Jacob's first birthday on Saturday July 5th in style with tons of food, family and friends at Grandma and Grandpa Snyder's house. Baby Jacob got so many toys, and he plays with as many as he can at one time. We found out that Aunt Jessica and Uncle Dave are going to be famous on TV... more details coming from them, we can't wait. Mommy and Daddy went out for "Adult time" on Saturday with friends at Kyle and Veronica's after the birthday party, while baby Jake played in the swimming pool with Grandma and Aunt Jessica.
On Tuesday the 8th we headed up to Nana and Papa Dierkens's house while Big Jacob went on to Detriot for work. Little Jacob and Mommy visited lots of friends and family. Aunt Lindsay came to see us almost each night at Nana and Papa's... which reminds me our little man has another cousin on the way compliments of Uncle Eric and Aunt Lindsay. Of course, Mommy knew before Aunt Lindsay "let the cat out of the bag". Mommy and Daddy headed back down to CINCI to see Chris Rock Live on his new tour. They stayed in the Cincinnatian Hotel. Funny enough, Chris Rock also was staying in the same hotel. Daddy snapped a picture of Mommy with him while they were waiting for a cab! Mommy and Daddy had a great dinner at OceanAire and a wonderful 4th wedding anniversary. We had another Birthday party at Nana & Papa's house on Saturday the 12th. We were joined by Uncle Jacob, Aunt Polly, our cousins Jack and Audry, Great-Grandma Dierkens, Great Aunt Brinda, our friend Michele, Aunt Lindsay, and Uncle Eric. We sadly headed back home to Arlington on Saturday night, so that the baby could sleep in the car.
When we got back home we returned to the everyday hustle and bustle.
Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Jessica, and Uncle Dave all came to visit us on Friday the 25th and we all went out to eat at our favorite Mexican Restaurant, Uncle Julio's Rio Grande. On Saturday morning everyone headed down to Virginia Beach (except mommy, she had to work - go ahead and feel sorry for her). There was plenty of time playing on the Beach and introducing Baby Jacob to sand and water. Daddy says he is walking all over the place, going from table to couch and getting pretty brave. We'll keep you all posted about what new things Baby Jacob is getting into!!!!
On Sunday August 3rd we are going to Baby Jacob's first baseball game, when the CINCINNATI REDS take on the Nationals in DC. (We got isle seats, because we just know that the little man will not sit still the whole time). We will post pictures of us at the game in the August 2008 blog.
