Saturday was a nice cool, rainy morning. This morning we went shopping for new shoes for Jared. His old shoes have holes in them and the sole of the shoes have come unglued. They will make nice barn shoes. He has also been having back problems, so maybe new shoes will help. We went to many different stores before he found a pair that he liked and they had his size. After we were done we went to McDonald's and Jacob played there. Jared took him through it first and then Jacob decided he wanted to do it himself. Jared would start to follow him up and Jacob would turn around and say, "No Daddy". When we got home we got a phone call from Mom. Dad wanted Jared to come over and play him in ping pong and said he would buy ice cream if we came over. When we got there Jacob saw my sisters van and said, "Me Me". He was excited to see Hailey and gave her a really big hug. Mom made us dinner and then we had ice cream. While the guys played ping pong we watched the video of Hailey getting her first fish from the other day. Jared and I wanted to go look around Gander Mountain. We left Jacob at Mom's because he was really tired because he didn't get a nap all day. He fell asleep quickly. Jared, Adam and I headed to the store. We stopped at Grandpa's house on the way so I could put his eye drops in. He seemed really happy to see us and I wished we could have stayed longer. It was ~10pm when we got back to Mom's house. Their neighbors, who won millions in the lotto, daughter was having a graduation party across the street. At 10pm they started some great fireworks. We stood on my parents front porch and watched them. We walked to the end of their driveway and watched the finale. These fireworks were as good as the 4th of July fireworks we had seen and they lasted ~45 minutes. When the finale was done we looked down the road and the cars were turning on their lights and honking their horns. During the display I talked to both my sisters and both my nieces on the phone. When we got home, Jared and I went out to the barn to put our sheep rug in some rinse water. We weren't sure how to clean it without ruining it so it hasn't been washed since we got it for a wedding gift. I am really glad to have it cleaned. Adam is 8wks old today and slept in his room all night for the first time. He woke up around 3am to be nursed and then slept til morning.

Sunday: While the boys were still sleeping this morning, Jared and I went outside and took the sheep rug and set it to dry. We then worked on packing the trailer for our camping trip. I made a comfy bed for Truman in the back of the car for the trip. We were able to get everything into the trailer and car without using our cartop carrier. Jacob woke up while we were still packing. I brought him out there and he wanted to sit on the bed I had made for Truman. Then he asked us to close the door. He pointed at the spot next to him and said, "Tru Tru". I opened it up and let Truman sit in there with him. He got out and was playing with a stick. He made a really sad face when Truman took his stick from him (pictured above). In Sunday school today the teacher said Jacob did really well today sitting and listening to the story. In the past he has just wanted to go play with the toys and would not sit and listen. Jacob excitedly told us how he sat down. We made pizza for lunch and when Jacob was done with his piece he said, "More pee pee please".
