Petropolis- I moved there when I was about 15. Made many life time friends that we stay in touch till this day ! They had a big pizza cook out at one of our friend beautiful house, by the pool house! It was a blast - We all sing the old Rock and Roll songs from back on our day ! Hilarius Here is the crazy bunch...

By the bridge with Museu Imperial in the background..still so beautiful

Ilha Fiscal on the back- as we took the ferry boat to Ilha de Paqueta.

Of course we cannot pass the Agua de Coco- Every time we walked on the beach, here we were in Ipanema walking back to Copacabana at night.

We made it to the top of Pao de Açucar (Sugar Loaf) and started to rain, it was still fun, I had to share my pao de queijo with the little monkeys that followed us around.

These are my most precious possessions, my great kids!!!
We all met at John J's house for dinner earlier December, we had our Grandmother Juanita Dobson all the way from Panguitch, for a short visit- she loved seing all her grandkids and great-grandkids as well- She is 95 years old, still lives on her own and she was so happy to spend a day with us all. What a trooper!

"Charger"

So... While we were in Escondido, CA at the Laurence Welk Resort, Tom rented a Dodge CHARGER.

I'm beginning to worry how influential the 'stories' my kids tell Tom, about my personality specially the one that I match such car !

Was it a coincidence??? Or is he trying to tell me something?

Good Friends...Great times!!!Mike and Andi Shoemaker and Dave and Anne Warren, have been friends with Tom for that last 20 years! They have worked on many water projects in Wichita, Kansas. Last year they engaged in the largest "water" project the City has ever done under the management of Tom (Jacobs), my dearest husband! Andi and Anne and I (the wives) have grown close in friendship (since the boys are so involved) and it has been the greatest pleasure to associate with such fine people.Our friendship have developed to the point that we are considered part of family.Last October Mike and Andi's son, Kevan, married this cute Brazilian girl (by the way, her name is Carla), and they decided to have the ceremony in both languages, Portuguese and English, It was a privilege when they asked me to take part in the ceremony. Then Last Saturday, February 13th, it was David Warren's 60th Birthday and we were there not just for the party, but helping him cook! That gave us also the opportunity to associate and meet lots of new people ! We loved it... It was a great time indeed!Tom and I feel so blessed to have so many great friends !!!

We had a very busy year traveling to a lot of great places. After each trip I thought long and hard about at least posting some pictures of our adventures but ended up doing nothing at all. One of my goals is to keep up on my blog, updating it at least monthly. I hope everyone will visit.
The last two months have been one of the most exciting for Tom and I. We have three new grandchildren!! We're so proud!

Thomas Blue Dobson born to John J and Ashley Dobson on November 28, 2008.

Cooper Carmo Bruce born to Jesse and Paula Bruce on January 3, 2009.

Cash Barnes born to Dave and Michelle Barnes on January 11, 2009.

We are the luckiest grandparents to have 13 wonderful and beautiful grandchildren!

Everything

You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And You're the perfect thing to see.

And you play your cards, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.

[ Chorus: ]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your woman
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

[ Chorus: ]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

[ Chorus: ]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
Cause you're my everything.
yeah, yeah

Hilarious!!!

Lions and Crocs vs Baby Buffalo!
Very cool nature video! It was shot by some guy on a safari with his camcorder. Wildlife photographers/videographers work all their lives and don't get stuff half this good! It's like the animals were playing out a Disney movie script live! http://youtube.com/watch?v=LU8DDYz68kM

Series of Fortunate Events and Miracles of 2007
The Jacobs Chronicles

Another year that we can reflect upon and count our many blessing.
As a surprise to many, including ourselves, we were married this summer. We had the love and support of our 8 wonderful children that made this event not only possible but also one of the great blessings in our lives.
The memories that we have created so far are priceless.
Here is a brief report on our children’s whereabouts:
*Matt and Candace Jacobs, Brighton, CO, with their three beautiful and smart children, Kylie, Jaxon, and Alyssa are working together and making room for their new baby brother Luke, which should be here in January.
*Jesse and Paula Bruce, Ogden ,UT, In their cute home with their baby boy, Jaxson, that was born in May. Both, Paula and Jesse still working at the IRS and making sure we don’t cheat in our taxes.
*Nate and Bethany Jacobs, Chandler, AZ, Nate is getting used to the challenge of being a new manager in his company; him and Bethany are working hard to get him through his MBA program.
*John J and Ashley Dobson, Mountain Green, UT, Enjoying their beautiful home in the mountains and their 4 gorgeous kids, Dakota, Noah, Hannah and Danika Andrea. They joined their talents, skills and hard work and were able to “flip” John J’s old house, the house and the sale were a great success.
*Wes and Bonnie Nieto, Aurora, CO Newly wed since the first week of October, they had a beautiful and very well planned wedding. Wes just started with the Englewood Fire Dept. and they just added a new member to their family, Nala, a 7 weeks old boxer.

We are the proud and happy parents and even prouder grandparents of 10 beautiful grandkids!
*******We were able to go to Kauai a few times this year and learn to love that part of the world, its people and their traditions. It added so much to out lives and has made us grow founder of each other. Our love and happiness increases day by day. Tom is recovering from his radiation treatment for his prostate cancer; treatment is going even better than we expected; he is still officiating high school basketball. Carla is setting up a translation business company, called TraduzInc, besides painting and doing crafts for the grand babies and just loving live. -----May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace, The gladness of Christmas give you hope, and the warmth of Christmas grant you love. Our best wishes, with Love Tom and Carla
