No, I haven't forgotten how to post a blog....we haven't had 'nothing' going on....I just haven't felt motivated. GASP! How can that be? Well, with four kids roaming around this house, blogging (& facebooking, for that matter) have taken a WAY back burner.
But today, I have decided to jump back on the wagon....ha ha. Spring in Colorado has been nice (& a big stormy with a couple of tornado warnings to sit out). The green has returned to Greeley & I love it! Our garden is planted & the grass is getting mowed on a regular basis. Here are some pictures of what has happened up until now to catch you up on The Jacobsen Nation.
We went to the park to play...a park in Loveland. Bergen is posing here on the cannon at the park...DJ used to play on it when he was a kid....
We got LOTS of snow on our daffodils....
We had a wacky April Fool's breakfast.....eggs & toast? I think not! I got all the kids with this one!
We acted silly....
We colored eggs....
This was Melissa's first egg ever to color....or "balls" as she called them...
Much to the chagrin of the boys, we dressed up....
We did school.....
Mallory's reading skills improved SO much! She started reading to her brother.
We acted silly some more.....
We licked a beater...
Hatch played soccer (when the weather would let us).
Mallory posed pretty....
Hatch took Melissa for a ride on our cousin's ATV......
DJ & Jynelle went for a ride of their own....
DJ looked cool....always.
Hatch ate cake & got a soccer trophy...
Bergen played soccer.....& itched his ear!
Melissa ran around.....
Hatch gave me a good shot....
Melissa hung out with Ohmi LeeLou
Hatch went "swimming"...notice the size of the pool to the size of his swimming gear.....
We planted our garden....
We played in the mud!
We went & saw a very cute play where Bergen played Olley Oak Tree!
& some of us wrestled with Papa Doug....
We also sanded down our wood floors, stained them, sanded them again & stained them again & finally covered them with varnish......LONG story......painful too, but I'm sure DJ would LOVE to tell it....(yes, it was my fault).
Spring has been fun & there is more fun to come this summer.....& maybe I'm back on the blogging wagon for awhile.....or maybe not.

Pictures are my favorite thing to help us remember what we did! I know some of the "memories" my kids have is because we have pictures to help remind them of what we have done. Wow, you did a lot this spring!! Nice synopsis of that time. What is the April fools egg and toast? And, love the picture of Hatcher giving you a good shot and love Bergen as the tree. so cute. Keep taking those photos and sharing. It's fun to get a peek into your lives. Oh! And lastly, I love your family photos at the top of your blog on the slide. What a fun angle. Good thinking. I want to do that with my family!!
Good updates! I saw the pics of your school stuff, and I was just curious what curriculum you guys use. . .
