This morning when we got to Nana's Kenzie was there to greet us. She told me Jacob went up to her and leaned over to give her a kiss. We sat and watched a video of Kenzie when she was just over 2 years old. Jacob sat on the couch between Kenzie and I. I told Kenzie we were taking Jacob to the Indianapolis Zoo. She jokenly asked if she could come. I though about it and though that sounded like fun. I told her I would ask Uncle Jared and he would check with his mom. I'm sure she knew Uncle Jared would say yes. I think she will have so much fun and maybe we will have time to take her to build a bear. Then I had to leave for work. Vikki called me to tell me about her new job. She likes it alot and right now is on first shift. I was glad she called cause I had been wondering how it was going. Vikki said it was ok for us to take Kenzie with us to Indiana so it was yes all around. At mom's Jacob was still taking a nap. I got his things pack and then went into the room to get him up. He was just laying there on his back with his eyes open looking up at me. Nana came in too. Jacob was very cuddely. Papa gave him a bite of his brownie and that woke him up. When we got home Jared had been working on the goat feeder. It looked great. Jacob ran around the yard from his truck, to his slide, to the chickens and then to the front yard by the goats. I sang ring-a-round-the-rosie and he looked at me and laughed as I fell down. Now it was time to move the feeder. That thing was very heavy and odd to carry. I traded sides with Jared so he could walk backwards. I had enough problems going forward. From the first lift it dropped on my finger and it was so heavy I couldn't get them out. I screamed in a panic and Jared came to my side and lifted it. This thing was starting to make me mad. We lifted it and got several feet before I had to set it back down. I hurt my hands with all that weight and the rough cut boards. I grabbed a couple raggs and tried to lift. I kept saying, "It's too heavy, I can't do it". But we continued anyway. We tried carrying it a different way and I made it a few feet. By now I was laughing hard and determined to get this thing in the goat paddock. Finally we made it. All the goats eventually learned how to use it except Fred. Fred's horns spread too wide and I'm not sure he can get them through the holes. We'll see tomorrow. We stayed out there and watched them for a while. Jacob wanted to go and pet Celeste. He gave her some pets on her nose and then a kiss. She kept sticking her nose right on him to smell him. He thought that was funny. Daddy gave him a horsey ride and then a ride on the tractor. He points to thing like the choke and the throddle cause he wants to know what the are called. During dinner tonight Jacob started to do with his hands like Daddy started doing with him a year ago. Like on baby einstein with puppets he makes a noise back and forth with both hands and scrambles at the end shaking his hands. Now Jacob makes the noises and does the motions with his hands. It is so funny, I'm glad I got it on video. Tonight we watched video's of Kenzie when she was little with Uncle Jared. Jacob likes to watch them too.
