HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB!!!

Today is Jacob's birthday. He unfortunately had to go back to work after being off for a full week. Me and the kids are taking him out to dinner on Wednesday. We were going to do it tonight, but because he gets off at 7pm, by the time he gets home and we go out to eat we will be eating dinner at almost 9pm. So I am making him a nice dinner tonight, with cheesecake too. Then since he is off on Wednesday we are taking him out to dinner then. I am not telling him where I am taking him either. A little surprise is nice once in a while. So tonight I am going to make him steak, baked potatoes, salad, and a veggie. I am going to make a cheesecake too, since that is the only dessert he really likes at all. I am thinking I might buy a bag of balloons too and hang them from the fan over the dinning table. A little something fun. I want to have dinner ready for him when he gets home.

It has been so nice having him home with me for an entire week. We were busy, but it was nice having him home. Last week he had to go out to my aunts on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday to pick up the pool we bought from her. Tuesday my aunt came here and me, my mom, Baby Jacob, my Aunt, my two cousins and one cousins son all went to the movies to see Mama Mia. Then everyone came to our house for dinner. Jacob bbqd hamburgers and hot dogs. I made homemade potatoe salad and we had corn on the cob. Mom brought a pasta salad too. It was fun. The movie was cute too.

Then I had to work on Friday night (later than usual for the anniversary event) and then all day on Saturday. So yesterday was the first real day we actually had to spend together his entire time off. Figures since it was also his last day off. We had a good day though. Just relaxing.
I know I don't often enough tell him how much we appreciate all of his hard work. He puts in 12 hour days at work anywhere from 5-6 days a week. We miss him greatly most days, and know he is working hard for us. We love you!!
