Joint Custody

I'm married!

and married people share everything. That's why I made a new blog for me AND my husband! (that still sounds weird to say. weird in a good way)

so if you'd like to continue stalking me, go to jacobandnatalli.blogspot.com

Birthday Shoutout!!!

Summer time for the Smith family is all about birthdays! Seriously, at least one a week. So it may be late, but here is a special shout-out to my 2 sisters with summer birthdays:

First, EmmaLee



Thanks for:

-teaching me how to dance
-adding a slew of 80s prom dresses to the costume bucket
-changing my diaper (i'll give you the benefit of the doubt)
-teaching me to change your kids diapers
-giving me advice on being a grown up/boys/whatever
-being helpful whenever you're needed


Now, Bethany

I appreciate YOU for:
-spinning me around singing "Jimmy Oh Jimmy" from Saturdays warriors
-waking me up in the middle of the night to tell me the house is on fire or that its christmas
-telling me when it was time to start wearing a bra
-sending me a letter from Hogwarts on my 11th birthday (complete with scattered bird feathers) -telling me I was adopted, that there were secret passages in the house, etc.
-keeping in touch
-being excited about my wedding before I was even close to being engaged/helping with all the plans, the dress, bachelorette party. etc
-spooning me in EVERY family picture

These are just a few of the MANY reasons why I like you two. O.k. fine, I even love you! Happy Birthday(S)!!!

OUR Commercial

hi. my name is jacob. I'm a special guest because I'm marrying natalli. My new nieces and nephews let us know that we are actually really famous. We have our own commercial or there is a commercial where the people look like us? My new family is sooooo cool! I am so blessed to be able to marry someone so amazing and to become a part of such a great family! I am pretty excited if you can't tell. anyway here is the vid. They call it "Jacob and natalli"




We are pretty much the same as the people in the vid in that we are very far apart this summer and we think about each other all the time! and i tend to do cheesy stuff at times on accident. My new nieces and nephews are so much fun! anyways, less than one month!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!

Mexico

Jacob came home to me so that we could see Wicked and go to Mexico with his family!

We stayed here. Its an upgrade from the trailer (though the old Smith tradition still holds a place in my heart and is an equally fun adventure)

I made a new friend! Why can I only make friends with people under the age of ten?

This is my new mom. She is cool because she pulled our train with a kayak

This is my boyfriend/fiance/bff. I love him (even though he doesnt support his own school).

stop it. I don't think anyone looks good in snorkling gear.

Then he had to go back to Texas. I hate hate hate saying goodbye..
But I never have to ever again!!!

peace out

Total Eclipse

why do i think this is so funny??

maybe its because I grew up to bethany singing me this song/making me tape music videos of her singing it. Whatever the reason..i like it. watch it!

Great News!

The 5-year-old version of Dwight Shrute is in one of my swim classes!

Not only does he look exactly like Dwight, he knows everything about all sorts of creatures. I am so happy!

Unfortunately, I don't think i'm allowed to take pictures of the kids, so this will have to suffice..use your imagination.

how i spend my time

I was in Hobby Lobby when I recognized the tune of "As Zions Youth in Latter Days" playing throughout the store, followed by various fancy instrumental arrangments of LDS hymns.. interesting. It actually made walking down endless isles of beads and paint kinda peacful.

On a less happy note, I really dislike sunburns, night lessons, and the smell of chlorine... oh and when kids clubs come to the pool (4598 kids with 4 adults)
I do, however, love my tadpoles!

tadpole-swimming class of children 2-3 years of age
aka- kids who swim better than they can talk

jacob's coming tomorrow!!!!
