Alex turns 25 - Twilight Style

Ben told me dress up and took me to a surprise location - turned out to be my folks' house that was filled with fog, lights, and when I turned around he had fangs in with a werewolf cake! A Twilight themed party - I was so excited!










Shortly after we arrived friends from all over joined us. What a party it was! Complete with twilight paraphernalia! Thanks to Heather and Dave in their Twilight t-shirts.
Erin and Andrew stayed the night and we had a blast playing games. I couldn't quite figure out how come they stayed, not that I wasn't thrilled. :)




The next morning it all came into focus. Joined by Erik, Janet, and Mitchell we all headed to Forks, WA for camping and geocaching!

We ended up in La Push, WA no really meaning to us and quite lost, see faces below!





But eventually were able to see the sights!










Bella's truck.









The Swan House - home to Bella and Charlie.










Forks High School where Bella meets Edward.











Then off to the hospital where Dr. Cullen works... see his parking space!












Then to Charlie's workplace - the police department.




Next stop - the Cullen Home where we got to read a note from Esme herself.















Finished the weekend with dinner athe site of Edward and Bella's first date. They were such good sports humoring me all weekend long!















And it truly was a birthday to remember. Thanks Ben-Jamin!

April 24th - Alex's birthDAY!

For my birthday, I recieved a song from my husband Ben. And not just any "Happy Birthday Song." "Together Now" - by Ben Jacobson

Just had to share, this morning Ben made me breakfast and drove me to school so he could “give me” my birthday gift.

As we headed to work, he put a cd in and played MY song for me! He did all the instruments except the drums. I married one incredible man!

Then I was welcomed by 14 first graders who think my birthday is a National Holiday. :) Much to their delight the sun was shinging and we ate outside to celebrate.

Thanks for praying for him, God will do a miracle in his body and God is going to use his incredible gifts!

Spring 2009

This Spring we did a photoshoot of the Jacobson kids in downtown Poulsbo. It was really special for Alex to be included in this time.




The Jacobson four!






Pyramind attempt #1 - this was a self timed photo.



Pyramind attempt #2 - again self-timed.














What blast! I'm lucky to have such great siblings.





































We celebrated Janice's birthday and presented her with a series of these photos, as her gift. You should see her awesome photo wall! Credit is given to Emily for the brilliant idea.
