Jacob's New Room

Well, the little man has figured out how to crawl out of his crib. A few weeks ago it was early in the morning and I'm thinking jacob's voice is sounding like it's getting nearer and nearer. I thought maybe I was just still stuck between sleep and being awake and I was crazy. Then all of a sudden the door is flung open and in runs jacob yellling "ma! ma! and some other gibberish that oddly sounded like "come on, it's time to get up!" Anyways, since then he has become the houdini of getting out of cribs. So, I think it's time to move him to a bed. Pastor gave us an old twin bed he had. I'm just gonna move him right over to that and buy some bed rails for one side and put the other side against the wall. So, I of course have to re-do his room from nursery to big boy room. I found this really cute quilt at Target and decided to go off of that. We were in the cities a few weeks ago for District Council and we got some good shopping in at IKEA. We bought a bunch of stuff for his room. So, now we have to repaint the walls and then we can get the bed in there. Just thought you might like to see what the quilt looks like. It is kind of a safari theme with monkeys and alligators and snakes and stuff. Jacob already likes it. Every time I pull it out to show someone, he falls on it and wraps himself up in it and laughs. It's cute.

Spring in Sparta

Recently Jessica and I visited Sparta, WI for a day to drop off Jacob at my sister's house during District Counsel. So I drove over to my parents house to see how my mother's perinial garden is doing. So mom here are some pictures for you.


Mom this is the clematis by the chimney. The rabbits have left it alone.


Here is a shot from the perinal garden. There wasn't much else coming up that was picture worthy. I am sure that by now everything is up and turning green.

Whats He Been Up To?

Whats he been up to? Here are a few pictures to tell the story.

Sticking things in Steve's electric outlets.


Using gallon buckets to get to the candy dish while he thinks dad isn't watching.

These are just a few things that the boy has been up to. When he is not doing these he is running around outside and riding his new four-wheeler. Video of that coming soon.

My First Remote Control

Great Grampa Nueneder gave Jacob a remote control truck when he was still in the womb. Well a couple weeks ago he got to put it to use. So enjoy watching Jacob drive his truck.

Easter is Here

Well Easter is here. This week has been a busy week. Jessicas parent's came up on Monday night and left on good Friday. Gloria (Jess's mom) chased Jacob around and talked about how he was the golden child. Mike found a barber sleeping on the job so he stopped in and got a trim on the beard and a haircut. Wednesday we had youth service and Thursday we went to the Whistling Bird (Jamaican restaurant) for Mike's birthday. Over all it was a great week.
Here are some pictures from the week.

J Bros Birthday

Friday was Jessica's Birthday. Ihave been trying to decide what to get here for her birthday for a month or so now. I really wanted to get her a video camera but the one I wanted was out of our price range. Well thursday the price dropped right into our range becaue they are coming out with a new line of video cameras. So on Thursday I snuck down to duluth and bought it for her.

On Friday morning when she woke up she opened her birthday present in bed. She was very excited to get the camera. It takes great videos. Soon the Broberg Blog will have videos for all to see. We decided we would go to Duluth for the evening for a nice meal and to do a little shopping. We went to the mall and checked out the shops basically just spending time together. Then we went to the Blackwoods Grill. It is a really nice place just on the outskirts of Duluth twoards the North Shore. It is right of Lake Superior. We had ceasear salad and bbq ribs and macadamian crusted halibut. Everything is always good there. It was a great day with my wife. This is good thing about marriage, when your wife has a birthday you get to enjoy it too.
