Happy New Year!

Happy New Year...can you believe that it is already 2010?

For New Year's Eve we were lucky to have Brogan and Troy in town, visiting from Denver. We decided to all go out to dinner at Benihana's to celebrate the New Year. It was a lot of fun and the food was delicious, as always!

The family celebrates with a my mom pulling a popper....it scared me so bad (I was taking the picture) that I off-centered the picture.

Happy New Year!

Josh pulled a great shot of being Kung-Fu Panda.

There food is sooooo good!!!!

Chelsea and Jacoby eating there salads. Chelsea wasn't so sure about it, but was a good sport and tried everything.

If only Josh and I knew how to eat with the chopsticks.

I love having Brogan here.

We hope you had a great New Year's too. Wishing you a great year!

It's Time for a Cruise...

2009-12-27T14:17:00.000-08:00

We were fortunate enough to go on a cruise with our great friends and next door neighbors the Snow's. We left Dec. 13th for a week down to the Mexican Riveria. We had a great time and only wish we could still be there. Here are some pictures of our trip.

Josh and Bo with Laura and JR at El Eden pools.
Out on the pool deck of the ship at night.

Laura and I on Day 1 as we were leaving the San Pedro pier in Long Beach, CA.

Here we are on the Royal Promande Deck, aka Main Street of the ship, on our first formal night.

Dinner was something we always looked forward to and only wish it was this way back home.

Our arrival at Cabo San Lucas. It's a pretty port and the beach there was our favorite.

The famous arch in Cabo separates the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez.

I love my husband!

We were able to find "Squirt"! Totally Wicked Dudes.

Josh and I sliding down the rock slide in El Eden. It was beautiful. These natural pools are up in the jungle and although cold at first, are a lot of fun once you get in.

We love being on vacation!!!!!

Group Shot. Ahhhhh...

JR's friend recommended that we go to this Mexican Restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. It was absolutely delicious. It was downtown and one we would recommend to all.

They make homemade guacamole right at your table. I could eat this all day.

Taking pictures on top of the restaurant. Puerto Vallarta was our most favorite place. We are already looking at going back there with the Snow's for a week long trip.

Who takes pictures at the bathroom?

Josh takes such great pictures.

Waiting for one of the shows to start on the ship.

Besides the amazing ice skating show on the ship, we got to hear "The Coasters". They were awesome.

Our dinning room waiter was Apollo and his assistant waiter, Dev, was great at bringing us out hot cocoa with whip cream after every meal.

We love our friends JR and Laura and can't wait 'til the next vacation.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!

Decorating for Christmas

2009-12-05T16:32:00.001-08:00

It's amazing that it is already December. This year has gone by so fast. I love getting ready for the Christmas season by decorating. Here are a few things that are my favorite and I can't wait to pull out each year

The Willow Tree Nativity is my absolute favorite. Josh gave me this priceless set for Christmas when we were dating...I love my husband so much!

These little snowmen dudes are a riot. You can make them do whatever you want. My mom gave these guys to us when we were first married.

I think this little snowman is so cute.

This is the corner of our living room. The cute FAMILY blocks are from my sister-in-law, Beckie. She makes the cutest stuff. The Red Hutch was a free item off KSL that Josh luckily found when we first moved in. It came as a gold piece but we needed some color so we painted it red.

Here's a shot of our kitchen table with Santa and the famous countdown candle. The candle is a Jacobsen tradition, thanks to Grandma Barb.

Only 20 days 'til Christmas!

You know what I like about Christmas is the colors. I am obsessed with the apple, pear, lime green color. So it's fun to have it in the kitchen all year round.

Happy Holidays everyone... we hope it's a good one.

JACOBSEN FAMILY HALLOWEEN NIGHT 2009

2009-11-14T20:40:00.000-08:00

Jacoby & Chelsea had everyone over on the 31st of October for a Halloween get together. It was fun to see what everyone came as...very creative.
We went very cheap for this event and came as 2 Pigs in a Blanket. Don't think we are this fat...we stuffed our shirts with blankets. This picture is scary how real it looks....yikes!!!!

Bristal and her roomate Katie showed up as Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus. They walked in the door rock 'n out to the Miley Cyrus song "Party in the USA".

Sandra & Jake were hilarious... they were Super BYU Fans.
Show us your cougar.

This was pretty clever...Chelsea was a tornado with a little fan that she would hold up and Jacoby was partly cloudy with a chance of rain. He had a little water bottle that he would squirt at you. Love It!!!

Jorgan and Alison great idea! Jorgie was a golfer as you can see and Ali was his golf ball. A true "Titleist".

Brogan and Troy we missed you guys and hope to have you here with us next year.

Halloween is one of the best holidays of the year. Jacoby and Chelsea thank you for putting it all together. We had a blast!

SAWYER FAMILY HALLOWEEN PARTY 2009

2009-11-14T20:13:00.000-08:00

Halloween is always a time that we look forward to. The Sawyer's had a fun family get together on the 30th of October. Everyone was supposed to dress up as celebrity couples. As you can see we didn't really follow the memo.
This costume was totally Josh's idea and I was a good sport to go along with his madness.

Mylo was dressed up as Count Barkula. Watch him strut his stuff.

Brad and Kathy looked awesome! They were Sonny and Cher.

Adam and Jeana came as Samson and Delilah. Adam's hair was so cool... as it was down to his butt. Landon came as spiderman and looked tuff. He handled the scissors for his mom.

The Gold kids looked cute, as always. Hannah was the "Queen", Boston was a flying dragon, and Livie as a cute 50's girl.

This costume was very original. Brad and Beckie came as King Kong and Fay Wray.

We had so much fun. Thank you Brad and Kathy for always making Halloween a great Holiday and a time we can all come together. We look foward to next year.

WE LOVE OUR FAMILIES SO MUCH!!! WE ARE SO LUCKY.

Las Vegas Weekend: Oct.23 - 26, 2009

2009-10-31T09:37:00.000-07:00

This past weekend Josh and I took a weekend trip to Las Vegas. While we were there we met up with Josh's former boss of Day Dreamin' Exotics and had the chance to go on a tour through the Red Rock Canyon. We had a blast. As you will see from the pictures. Josh had the chance to get back in to some of the cars he loved taking care of when they were still up here in Salt Lake. If you ever get the chance and want something to do during the day while in Vegas definetly head over to the Flamingo Hotel and sign-up for a car tour.

This is the group of people we were on the tour with. As you can see the backdrop was a beautiful desert scene of the Red Rock Canyon. The tour allows you to drive 5 different exotic cars within a 3 hour time frame. Well worth it!

This is a Nissan GTR, it was one of our favorite and would actually fit into our current car family.

This is "Candy"...Josh's red headed second love. Josh took care of this car and drove it often (when given the chance) while it was up here in Salt Lake. I have to admit, this red Ferrari is one of my favorite. Maybe one day we will actually be able to own one of our own. This is one good looking car.

They call me Bond, James Bond. This is the Aston Martin Vantage aka the Champagne Room. This is one of Josh's favorite cars. I remember when they first got it and Josh took me on a ride. It is a very two faced car, with several personalities. It can be the nicest, most comfortable ride, but at the same time it can be a car that wants to to do nothing but go and you can hit over 100mph within seconds.

The Prosche 911 Twin Turbo Cabriolet was the first car of the day in starting out the tour. This is one of the 5 cars that is the fastest only behind the GTR. Dad someday we will all have one.

Here's is a fun shot of us all pulling away from the Las Vegas Flamingo Hotel on the start of the exotic car tour. What a great time... we hope Josh will have the opportunity to do something like this again...real soon!!!!

24th of July Weekend @ Cowabunga Bay!

2009-07-31T21:44:00.000-07:00

This past Utah Holiday weekend was awesome! We spent a lot of time with family and being outside in the sun enjoying the new waterslide park in Draper. Cowabunga Bay was great and the guys loved being able to soak people, including the lifeguards that work there.

They had some really yummy ice cream cones.

We were glad that Jake (Josh's Brother) came down from Ogden to join us. We love ya Jake!

Jacoby Got Married!!!

2009-06-18T21:54:00.001-07:00

May was an exciting month. Jacoby (Bo's brother) was married to Chelsea Huffaker from Mesa, AZ on May 15, 2009 at the Mesa Temple. All of us flew out there for this special day. We also enjoyed seeing many of you at their reception here in SLC on May 30, 2009. Chelsea you did a great job on the bridesmaid and groomsman outfits. Congrats to the both of you! We love you!

Condo Update

2009-06-18T21:33:00.000-07:00

Just so we don't leave anyone hangin'...we bought our first place and it's awesome! We absolutely love it. We would love to have you over whenever it's convienent for you, so come on by. We don't have any pictures so that means you have to actually stop by to see it :).

There's No Place Like Home...

2009-04-28T13:36:00.000-07:00

Over the past several weeks Bo and I have spent all our extra time and effort in purchasing our first home, well a condo. We have been really excited for this opportunity and have been busy getting everything ready for the move.

We are staying in the Salt Lake Valley. We will be living in Holladay. With this condo, we have been able to see the progress from nothing but tile, to choosing our carpet, granite, cabinets and everything else that you get to do when building a new home.

We should be closing on this condo this week and start the wonderful moving process.

So for all those who know and have experienced this process please keep your fingers crossed that everything will happen the way that we hope...

Oh and sorry no pictures of the condo. But eventually we will have some posted!

We are totally Wicked!!!!

2009-04-27T14:20:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday night we went to Wicked. It was totally Wicked!!! It was like the 15th time Bo had seen it, but it was the first time I saw it... and yetI still have yet to see the stupid movie that goes along with it...

Yes that is right I have not seen The Wizard of Oz because my mother did not allow us to fill our mind with this rubbish!!!!!

Love you mom!!!

But it was a riot and we had a great time!!!!!

Thanks Bradford!!!! & and Mom!!! Love you!!!!

Orlando, Florida Trip

2009-04-05T12:17:00.000-07:00

It has been a long time since we last updated our blog, and after much grief from others, we are finally updating it! The beginning of March we as the Jacobsen side of the family flew out to Florida to support the youngest member of the family, Bristal in her National Drill Competition with her drill team the Brigton High Accadians. During the week there we had so much fun going to all the different parks in Orlando and watching drill competitions.

The Brighton High Accadians did amazing...Congratulations National Champs!

Bristal was able to compete in the solo division. She was outstanding and we are her biggest fans. Her solo "Defy Gravity" from the Broadway musical, WICKED. Brissy Girl we think you are "Totally Wicked"

Bristal is so much fun to watch. We are truly going to miss going to all of her competitions as she is a Senior this year and will be attending BYU.

Chelsea Huffaker, fiance' of Jacoby is a great sport. Did you know that she is also known as Cindy Lu Who? We were able to get her hooked up with the Grinch for a great photo.

All my single ladies...eat your heart out

Josh and I wish the Sawyer's could join us...they would've had fun too!

Of course we are Jorgie and Ali

Toon Lagoon was a hit. They had all these sayings and photo stops. We had no idea that when we were taking these, that they would turn out as funny as they did.

Hang on tight Troy Boy

Good form Jacoby

This is what can happen when Bo tries to walk the doggie...she does everything to hang on!

We had a great time playing around with all the different signs in the "Islands of Adventure" park. One of the higlinghts was going on the famous "Poppeye" themed water raft ride. We thought that going on the ride that we were going to exprience a light mist...rather we were soaked. It was so funny because Sandra (Bo's Mom) got nailed under the giant waterfall. Luckily the weather was sunny and warm and we dried up quickly.

Poor Chelsea was soaking wet along with my Dad.

It's okay Brogan...you'll be dry in about 4 hours :)

Work it Brogan and Troy

Chelsea, you go girl...Jacoby you are one lucky boy.

THANK YOU!!! Mom & Dad for an awesome trip!

Going to Florida in March is a perfect time to play at the parks. We didn't have to stand in line very long and we had the chance to go on rides again and again without waiting. WahOOOOO!!!

Jacobsen's, Evanson's & Sawyer's to the rescue...

Nice work Ladies!

Surfs up Dudes

Family vacations are something that we love and can't wait for the next one. Signing off for now and we hope to keep you updated more often.

Visit to the San Diego Temple...

2008-12-21T10:25:00.001-08:00

Our trip to San Diego California earlier this month with Brad and Aisha Johnson was a blast. We had so much fun doing several things, but one of the best experiences was our visit to the Temple. We can't wait to go on more trips with them!

Did someone say Giraffe's, Gorilla's & Elephants,OH MY!

2008-12-21T09:38:00.000-08:00

Josh, Brad and Aisha were daring enough to feed the Giraffe's with their extra long tongue's. On the other hand if any of you know me and animals, I didn't dare. I was the photographer during this activity.

Josh and Brad were able to get a good shot with the Rhino.

Aisha & I prefer hanging with the elephant.

Spending all day at the Zoo can make you do some strange things.

Overall, the Gorilla's were the highlight at the San Diego Zoo.

Josh in a Palm Tree!

2008-11-28T09:05:00.000-08:00

This is Josh... In a Palm Tree... On the Beach... In Tulum, Mexico... Grrrrrrr......!
