The Dare Family: random Jacob photos

I tried to upload them in some sort of order, but it didn't work, so you'll just have to put up with then all over the shop.

OK, here he is last December with his cousins on the O'Donnell side.

He he he... this is so coming out at his 21st!

Proof that he'll do anything for anyone else!

For a little while, he was going home with Debbie and Emma after school one day a week- can't quite remember why- and one day he came home wearing Emma's wig and a dress!!!

Jacob with his younger (paternal) brother, Josh. They adore each other and sadly don't see enough of each other.

Rozzie took these next 2 one day in her backyard, just randomly. He's so photogenic, but he won't let me take photos of him anymore! I have to threaten him to get one these days.

At the motorshow with Glen last year. Nice scarf.

Another random Roz special!

Year 6 farewell.

My handsome boy at our wedding. Don't I have great photographers? This is less than 5 years ago, can you believe how much he's grown up since then?

Jacob with his cousin Whoopi, who is 9 months younger than he is. This photo was taken when Mum was retiring from Arnotts after working there for 25 years. Not sure of the year?

Oh yes, the undie thing.

Jacob had a bit of an undie fetish.

I woke up one morning on Mothers Day, and he was on the floor next to my bed, putting all my undies on, and the last pair went on his head!

With Nanna Kerry's sister Trish.

Christmas 2000, when he was 7.

Jacob with Mum's awesome dog Bonnie. Mum had a staffy that was an adult when Jacob was born, who'd never been around kids, and we were initially a bit worried how she'd be with a baby in the house, but she and Jacob became great mates. They shared MarsBars, icecream, many mischiefs, and Bonnie would let him make her walk backwards, which involved her walking backwards. He was devastated when she died, and since then, I'll never have a dog that's not a staffy.

OK, before anyone calls DOCS, I wasn't there when this photo was taken! How scary is this?

He's being looked after by my Aunty Myra, and this dog, Sid (named after Sid Viscious!) was clearly trustworthy.

I hope!

Jacob and Tomson having a drink of Maison (I promise thats what it is), which is their favourite celebratory drink.

Another awekward holding his far too small brother photo....

One year Jacob and I drove up to Kempsey for Kempsey Jenny's parents' wedding anniversary (25th, I think). In the afternoon, before the party, he fell down their back steps, about 10 feet, bounced over a concrete slab and landed face first in the dirt. He had a shocker of a graze and a fat lipo, as you can see, but we still made it to the party- where he prompty made straight for the stairs! He had a great night though, I'd give him a dose of Panadol, he'd dance for a couple of hours, then spend the next 2 slowly deteriorating and grizzling, I'd dose him up, and he's be off!

Mother of the year, that's me!

I think from memory this is his birthday the year Eli was born. he was desperate for Eli to be born any day BUT his birthday, as he didnt want to share. Lucky Eli was another 3 days late after Jacob's.
