Some new pictures

I don't know how to rotate it but it is super cute.
My little angel!
So.....................
who's head does jacob have :)
This is jacob's first bath - he wasn't in this state of shock the entire time. I think he did enjoy it after the intial surprise.

Ok - jacob is down for a nap so i need to make this quick - here are some new pictures.

Wanna hear how God is still in the business of giving us all our needs and wants?

Troy built us an amazing deck this summer and so we have been looking for deals on patio furniture - well the beginning of summer isn't the best time to buy or get a good deal but I kept looking. We wanted a set that didn't have cushions because we knew we would not be good stewards of bringing those cushions in all the time so it limited our options and for everyone that knows us we didn't want to pay a lot either.

Well I found a set we both liked at Payless but it was $35o and that was quite a bit higher than we wanted to pay. So I notice that it is 15% off through today and you can also get a Payless gift card for $300 adn they will give you 10% more on that so it would be $33O - So....i thought that makes the patio set a really great deal. Well I went to payless today and bought my gift card - picked out the patio set and went to customer service and paid for it all it was about $321 after taxes. Well some lady in line squealled when she saw Jacob and it scared him so I have a baby that is screaming when they inform me they don't have any of the patio set in stock but I could buy the floor model - well I had already looked at that and there was a hole in one of the chairs so I wasn't interested. So, we went and had lunch with Troy and I called the Payless on the west side of town - they had none in stock but I could buy the floor model - I asked if there would be a discount because of that....I was told sure - come on in and we can talk about it.

I got to the store and met up with the manager - I was hoping for a 10% and wishing for a 15% discount so I decided to keep my mouth shut and let the mgr make an offer. He hums around and says - what about $200 - eek! I nearly screamed I was so excited. So.....he was telling me I get to pay $100 less and it is already put together. I LOVE IT!

So...we got our gorgeous patio that was regular priced $350 for $170(because of the $30 bonus by buying the gift card). Isn't God so good! Giving us even the little things we don't need - the things we want.
