Friday iPhone Dump #207

Last weekend, Randy and Jacob went on their first Cub Scouts camping trip.  To say Jacob had fun would be an understatement.  Randy even tried to convince him to come home Saturday night (after all of the activities) instead of staying in the tent another night, but Jacob wouldn't budge.  So, they came home Sunday morning...

There was a cool fort to play in.

Jacob next to their tent.  It rained on them a little Friday night but not long.

Saturday morning, Jacob got to help with the flags.

And, in one of their meetings about reptiles.

While the boys were away, Hannah and I made a wreath for our front door.

Our pool earlier this week.  They finished the cool deck.

Hannah and Cori took Casey for a ride one afternoon while waiting for the bus.

Our pool today!  They finished the plaster and after one acid washing tomorrow, we start to fill it up!!

Last weekend, for Jacob's Cub Scout meeting, they each had to come up with a healthy snack and bring some to the meeting.  Well, pinterest and I came up with these apple monsters and Jacob loved helping me make them.  I didn't go to the den meeting, but apparently they were a hit!

On Tuesday night, they had a pack meeting and played some carnival type games.  Here was Jacob's turn to be blind folded and led through an obstacle course.

Randy and I tried out a new golf course on Wednesday.

Our pool is ever so slowly coming along.  They finally cleaned the yucky water out of the deep end.

They did the flagstone decking this week.

Hannah and Rocky...

If you give Hannah a first aid kit and a little free time, this will happen.  Look closely at the faces on her dolls!

Hanging out at our neighbors house, Jacob tried to paint himself green with sidewalk chalk to turn in to the Hulk.

On Wednesday, we headed to the rodeo (along with the rest of Houston).  One of the best parts for the kids is riding the Metro Rail to get there!

In the petting zoo.

On one of the roller coasters.  Apparently, we forgot to tell Jacob we were taking a picture.

Me and my sweet girl!

She is such a big girl and will ride some of the rides all by herself!

Our cuties!

On Thursday, the kids and I headed to see Memaw and Pawpaw.  First up, the ferry ride over.

It was pretty chilly on the first day we got there.

It got better and the kids enjoyed finding sticks and shells.

At the Big Store there is this statue.  Hannah always loves it because "it's Jesus and he is not wearing any underwear"!

Randy sent me a picture of our pool because they finally poured the deck.

Dad and Rocky napping.

Our little leprechauns!

Jacob is getting really good at driving the golf cart and took me for a ride on the beach.

Deeba came and brought the kids a kite.

Dinner at Stingaree on our last night there.

Last weekend, Randy headed to Las Vegas so the kids and I found some fun here in Katy.  First, we went to the Katy Taste Festival.  Basically, for the price of admission you got to eat a ton of food.  And have wine.  Which I needed to parent alone...haha.  They also had a kids zone which the kids loved.  First up, take a picture as a leprechaun.

Then, take a picture with the Chick Fil A cow.

Their favorite part, as always was getting their faces painted.  Their least favorite part of the day was much later when I had to scrub it off.

Here is the mean Flash.

I think he's supposed to look like he's running here...

And the beautiful butterfly.

Once we got back home, I had a few activities I wanted to do.  One was excavating rocks from this brick-thing I bought.

There was supposed to be 8 rocks in each brick.  But, somehow they each got 11 (maybe because they are a little crazy with the hammer and broke some of their rocks). 

While Daddy is away, we sleep with Momma.

Sassy also came for a 2 night visit which made Hannah very happy.  So happy that she would not get dressed for school when I needed her to!

Jacob's class went on their field trip to the Rodeo.  I was not picked as a chaperone so another mom sent me this picture.

And, Mrs. Dockal took these.

Hannah wanted to show Daddy her new pajama dress.  Presenting Princess Belle!

And Jacob thinks it is HILARIOUS to give people bunny ears in pictures now.

Jacob figured out that he had no way to buy a present for our anniversary (which is today).  So, he spent an hour or so in his room and came down with our present.  He made Randy and me in Lego form!  I absolutely love it!
