Jarodica- Happy 30th Jarod!

After a very long trip out there and an even longer night with Jacoby the first night we were there. Poor baby was up all night along with us! We were so excited to get the festivities started!

Some of this is a long running joke with our friends but every day we made Jarod dress up in honor of his Birthday and lets be honest Jarod loves to dress up!

The first day Jarod was David Hasselhoff- yes, the hoff- but some how he got his shorts on backwards after he saved a drowning Wade in the river.

It was beautiful! 93 and pleasant and we were all lovin the sun! Jar, Jesse and Nicole

It was fun to have the boys back together again and the mommies too!

Jacoby LOVED the boat!!

Big kisses from my little boy

When we stopped to float Jacoby could not wait to get in. He loves the water and thought it was so fun to splash it. He wanted to get all the way in but he couldn't convince us to get in to hold him.

Jacoby was very sick and was not eating any solids. He was nursing like a maniac and I was so thankful I was still nursing him because it was the only thing that he wanted. So what do you do with a sick baby who doesn't want to swallow or chew (I think because of a sore throat and teething)... let him drink his yogurt!

It was absolutely everywhere and I didn't even care! I was just so happy to get some more food in him.

He loved it and ended up having 2! We had to both shower after our yogurt bath though.

A birthday celebration would not be complete without a girls trip to the big town of Blythe for a birthday cake!

Jesse made Jarod the coolest video ever for his birthday! We were all crying we were laughing so hard!

The outfit was complete with a boa and some wings!

Then it was back outside to enjoy the sun and my sweet baby boy! We were busy watching the boys play some game they came up with after steeling the toys and balls away from the kids. It is so entertaining it never fails, ever time we go to the river the come up with some competitive game to play against each other and play it for hours on end!

They finally took a water break and Jacoby could not wait to get in!

While we were there we had to do some wake skating of course! Jarod really enjoys it and had a great time trying it for the first time.

I have done it before but I was not so sure I was going to be able to get back up. It had been a few years but I popped right up- didn't stay up too long the first time- but got the feeling back pretty quickly and had a lot of fun even though you can't tell from my face. Look at that concentration!

Jarod was a NASCAR fan the last day we were there. He even had the beautiful teeth!

Jacoby was feeling a little better by this point but still was not his happy little self. It took him almost a week to recover.

We had such a great time even with a sick baby! It was so good to see everyone and I know that it meant a lot to Jarod that everyone came out to help him celebrate his 30th Birthday! A special thank you to Rob and Elish for EVERYTHING!!! You guys are the best and we love you!

Happy 30th Birthday Jar! I hope you had a great one!!!

For the record when we got home Jarod got really sick and the poor guy couldn't even eat his Birthday dinner or dessert. He finally went to the doctor and would you believe that he had Scarlet Fever!! I thought that disease disappeared in the 1800's but nope some how Jarod got it! He was really sick and had this horrible rash. What a way to celebrate your Birthday!!
