Friday iPhone dump #1

One of my favorite bloggers does what she calls a Friday iPhone dump. And, although I'm not half the blogger she is, I can probably do this. My iPhone is about the only camera I use anyway! Plus, MommaGroom has been on my case about not blogging enough (at all). So, lets see how long this lasts...

Here are the pictures on my iPhone (interesting or not) from the past week...

Hannah loves her new jumperoo...for about 2 minutes at a time.


Jacob wants me to take his picture EVERY time I take a picture of Hannah.



He thinks this is a microphone and is making a weird face while singing.



Jacob in the jumperoo. Shockingly, this is the only time he's been in it.



Pool progress as of last weekend.



Last Saturday, Randy headed to College Station for the Spring game so we headed to Memaw and Pawpaw's house. Jacob loves riding on the mule (he calls it a momocycle), Hannah, not so much.



Jacob and Pawpaw on the tractor. Jacob enjoyed sitting on it but would not ride it once Pawpaw raised the bucket. He gets very scared of loud noises (just a phase, I hope).






Jacob and Pawpaw on the pontoon boat.






Me and my sweet boy!



Jacob driving the mule...kind of.



While in College Station, Randy bought presents for everyone. Our photo shoot didn't go so well.






On Sunday, we FINALLY changed Jacob's crib to a big boy bed. The transition has been good...so far.



Hannah when I let her hair dry curly...it gets kinda crazy but not as bad as it used to.



While Jacob was at school, Hannah and I went for her first walk in the jogging stroller. Like the car, she only liked it when it was moving.



Jacob playing with Hannah.



Jacob did so well in swimming on Tuesday that he got a new present. It's a bath tug boat that he swears is a pontoon boat.



My favorite saying that I saw on Facebook this week.



On Wednesday, we went to the Houston Zoo.














Yep, those giraffes are being dirty behind them!!











Our new concrete for our driveway extension, walkway to pool and around pool.












Despite her smile, Hannah hates tummy time.



Jacob was telling her "It's OK, don't cry Hannah".



That's it for this week. I hope you enjoyed it!

Scooter Time

Jacob loves his scooter, and he loves to ride it while I watch him whenever I am off work.  But because he has a habit of paying attention to everything but what is in front of him, I insist that he wear a helmet when he rides it.  And he fights it every time.  He has two different bike-type helmets that he usually picks from.  But this weekend, he didn't want either one.  And he wasn't about to give in.  Instead, he insisted on wearing his A&M football helmet.  It is a kid's play helmet, so it is very doubtful that this particular helmet is safety-approved by whatever government entity approves such things.  But, hey, it will at least soften the blow of head hitting concrete a little.  Right? Right?

Resemblance?

Hannah and I are both home and doing great. We came home on Friday and have been busy since. Jacob is the best big brother and is doing so much better than most of us expected. We are all very busy now but know that many of you want to see pictures. So, I'll try to blog more later (when we are getting more sleep) but, for now, pictures will have to do.

This is the only picture I seem to have of Jacob meeting Hannah. He had school that day and got to wear one of his three big brother shirts. They also read a special book called I'm a Big Brother now and Jacob got to sit on his teacher's lap. All grandparents were here to meet her and M was trying to get Jacob to give Hannah a kiss.


Our only attempt, so far, at a family picture. I love that Jacob is escaping and Randy looks like he's about to drop Hannah. (For the record, he wasn't!) We'll wait a while before scheduling a family portrait session.


All dressed up (Hannah, not me...those are PJs) and ready to go home.


Sweet girl on her first day at home. I had to be sure and show a picture of all of that hair!!


I forgot about this family picture (which isn't good either!). Here was her first outing...to La Finca which was the first place we took Jacob, too (and I finally had a margarita!!!!!).


We had lots if visitors this weekend. It was crazy and fun and just the way we like it!!

Memaw and Pawpaw with their 4 grand kids and Mr. Whiskers.


Brandl (my brother), Danielle, Brooke, Tyler, Jacob and Hannah.


Laura (Randy's sister), Scott, Makinley, Molly, Jacob and Hannah.


First bath! Memaw is here helping (thank goodness) and Jacob was her supervisor.


We had a small hiccup in breastfeeding which led to lots of screaming and crying (not only Hannah!!) which only lasted less than 24 hours. She got her first bottle due to this. However, we are back on track and all much happier!!


Jacob also got to help with a bottle feeding.


We have also taken the pacifier away due to the breastfeeding problems, but she did have it for a day. I love a new baby with a pacifier so I love this picture!!


And, last, my favorite picture! Love these guys (and gal)!!

Time to have a baby!!

I know I've been terrible about blogging, and I apologize. I won't bore you with details about pregnancy #2 making me very tired, so let's just say I take a lot if naps when Jacob naps (which is when I used to blog).

In case you haven't heard, we have scheduled my c section for Wednesday, January 9th at 7:30am. I'm hoping I can convince Randy to take over blogging again since he did so well when Jacob was born. I think you all should leave a comment here telling him you want him to blog. :0)

Trick or Treating...a little late

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, I feel compelled to blog about Trick or Treating so that we don't miss a thing. So, here it goes...

It was fantastic this year. Jacob is at a cute trick or treating age made even better by his not-taught-by-me-polite-ness. I can only assume that his school works on "Thank You" and "You're Welcome" a lot because he's very good at it. Which scored him some extra candy. Couple that with the fact that he would reach in for a 10 year old sized handful, and our neighbors got quite a kick out of him visiting. Now, on to the pictures...

Just waiting to put on my "Tirate" costume. We had to wait for Daddy to get home!!


Finally!! Ready to go...


Just another shot with Daddy. He's getting good at "Show me your Happy Face (another thing they worked on at school)."


Jacob and his "loot".


Jacob loves suckers, and I thought this one would be cute. Never mind that it was so big it almost choked him...it was cute for a second.


That's it! Thanksgiving may now happen...I'm ready.

Pumpkin carving

Today, we carved our pumpkin. We didn't go too fancy or artistic, but still made a cool looking pumpkin. And, by we, I mean Randy. Jacob was his helper but has the attention span of a 2 year old. My job was to take pictures.

Here, he looks like he is going to participate and is ready to get started.



He does watch Daddy get started.



And then was pretty much over it. He started dancing.



And playing with his water table.



But Randy did a fantastic job.



Jacob would come check on him every once in a while.



And even snapped a cute picture with my camera.



With or without help, Randy did a great job.






And Jacob did a great job posing with his pumpkin!
(I absolutely love this next picture).





We found a perfect spot for it on the porch and can't wait for it to get dark!




P.S. Be sure to read the other blog I posted today about the Harvest Festival yesterday (Titled More Halloween fun). I would hate for you to miss those cute pictures (and witty words).

P.P.S. Today is Jacob's 1/4 birthday but Randy doesn't even think we should celebrate 1/2 birthdays. So, I'm pretty sure he won't want to celebrate. But, in my mind, we are celebrating. So, Happy 2 1/4th birthday Jacob!! We love you!
