We got back from Park City today. I will post more about that later when I actually get the gumption to download that pictures from my camera.
Anyhoo, I sat down today to read with Monica for kindergarten. She is reading those "I See Sam" books that I read back in kindergarten. By the way, the copyright on those is 1972! Older than me I'll have you know! ;) So we started reading and for some reason the words Sam and am throw her off. When she tries to guess what they are we get all sorts of answers. So far, we have had Ammon, salmon, and sandman replace those words that are actually there. My favorite has to be Ammon. She put her arm around me today and told me, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll get this." We have to read each book 5 times for her to pass it off. At the end of the last reading she was telling me, "Look Mom, I can read with my eyes closed!" So she was trying to remember what the words were on the page. Ammon was not in the 3rd and 4th readings but he was sneaking into the 5th reading because she was guessing more than reading. Crazy girl!
I know the picture of her above is silly but that is who she is. She is a very friendly girl who has a lot of friends, even if she can't remember all their names. :0) Her teacher asked her to befriend a girl in her class that no one was playing with and Monica did it gladly. She started playing with her everyday and now they are good friends. Monica can try my patience but she is a very sweet, loving, and active girl who can be a lot of fun to be around. I just love my Monka Rose Jakin. (That's how she used to say her name.) :0)

Monica is so adorable. I just want to reach through the computer screen and give her a big hug.
I don't know if I ever met an Elder Jacobson, I asked a few friends and they don't think he was in Arlington 5th.
I was in Arlington 5th Ward from May 2006-March 2008 and Keller 1st Ward March 2008 - present
Though I could have seen him at a Stake Conference and never knew it.
