Friday iPhone Dump #8

I feel like I have lots of pictures this week, so get ready!

More tummy time. She still does not roll either way although I feel like she is FINALLY getting closer.


She is also starting to like a variety of toys (although her favorite is still Freddie the Firefly). Here she was enjoying the taggie elephant that M and Pa bought her.



Saturday morning, we had errands to run and Jacob slept in some. So, we began our errands with a donut date instead of breakfast at home.






When Randy got off work, we headed to Austin for Molly's 2nd birthday party. Hannah was not very well behaved with all of the people and the heat (it was a swimming party). She preferred to hang out inside with her Momma. Jacob, on the other hand, had a wonderful time. In fact, I hear he ate about 3 cupcakes. Here is how he acts on the 3rd one...



Brynna holding Hannah while Hannah looks for Momma. Oh yeah, she tasted the chocolate icing (notice her bib) and is a fan.



She was worn out from crying.



But she loved holding her toes under the fan...INSIDE!



And this is the best cousin picture I got. Hopefully someone else got a better one (but not likely).



This upcoming weekend is Hannah's baptism. So, Randy needed to try on his suit. And, whatever Randy does, Jacob wants to do.






And, although this blonde mustache looks like butter (according to my mom), Jacob still thinks these $0.25 mustaches are hilarious.






Monday morning the kids and I headed to Livingston for one night. Jacob had so much fun since he gets to do tons of fun things. Hannah liked the boat ride (kinda) but hated the life jacket. Mr. Whiskers also loves riding on the boat...



























We also took lots of rides on the mule which Jacob now calls the four wheeler.



Once we stopped, Hannah's hair did not go back down.



So, she needed a bath but I didn't bring her tub. So, this was her first bath in the big tub (must document!!).



And, finally, last night it was thundering. Jacob told me he would not be scared of it as long as he had Mickey. So, I went along with it. Here they are jumping.



But, then he insisted that Hannah have Minnie so she wouldn't be scared either. Sooooooo sweet!

Friday iPhone Dump #7

Memaw and Pawpaw came to hang out with us for a day during Memorial Day Weekend. Jacob thinks they came just to swim with him. So, we let him think that. What do you do when it's time to eat but you wanna swim? Have a picnic in the spa.



She really liked it and would have hung out in there all day!


Jacob had a lot of fun, too.






When he was upstairs with them, he found Randy's old football helmet (again). And, for no reason at all, he was also wearing shorts and cowboy boots. I think it's a good look.



Jacob loves to help Randy do connect the dot puzzles. They look like they are hard at work here.



We were at Carinos that night. When Memaw is in town, we sometimes go for lunch because we both like that place. Maybe we do this too much. When we walked in, Jacob said, "Memaw lives here!"

One morning, Jacob decided that Hannah should wear his cowboy hat. She wasn't thrilled.



She was a happy girl one night at dinner.



Uncle Beebo and Aunt Danielle got Jacob this guitar for Christmas. It's SO loud! I've been known to hide it while he's sleeping. He found it one morning and looked too cute with no pants on.



Sometimes it's better to play Legos UNDER the playmat.



Hannah was just cracking up at him. Some of her best smiles and biggest laughs are due to Jacob.



I saw this on Facebook and had to copy. Hannah would not participate very well, but it's still cute!


Wednesday morning, Hannah and I hung out at the Toyota dealership while the boys went for a haircut. When Jacob is good for his haircut, he gets to go to Learning Express (his favorite toy store). Luckily, Randy did NOT buy him these.



But, later that night, we went to Daddy's Toy Store (Academy) and he did get his own mask and snorkel. He loves to use Randy's, but it just doesn't fit. So, of course, you have to wear your new set in the car.



Yet another picture for me to remember how she holds my hand while I'm holding the bottle. She had her eyes closed but still made a grunt face for the flash. But, if you look closely, one hand has my thumb and one hand has my pinky. Awwwwww...

And, if you're wondering about her hair, she had just had a bath. And I comb it straight forward very Justin Bieber-ish just for her bottle while it dried. Then I brush it back. If I don't do this, her curls dry and look very Elvis-ish.



And, last, Hannah showing off her new shades.

Friday iPhone Dump #6

I don't have as much to "dump" this week since I did 3 other blogs. I'm almost like a real blogger again (for this week, at least).

Last weekend, we met up with some friends at Hyatt Lost Pines just outside of Bastrop. Everyone had a great time. We had fun going when Jacob was younger, but it's so much more fun watching him have a blast. He didn't nap on Saturday and went full speed from sun up to sun down. He did a wagon ride, the swimming pool (most of the day) and ended the night with s'mores and popcorn while watching a movie outdoors. His favorite part was the water slide which he probably did 30 times.

Here he is sitting on the fake horse (which he was scared of) when we first arrived. By the way, he was NOT afraid of the real horses that pulled the wagon and was petting them.


Being a big helper and feeding Hannah (for 2.5 seconds).



Hannah was also a trooper although she didn't make the water slide this year. She did, however, enjoy the lazy river in her float. (Didn't get any pics of that)

Hannah and I came back to the room early and I parked her where she could watch a little tv while I changed clothes. She was very quiet until Justin Timberlake came on tv. She went CRAZY cooing and laughing at him. I didn't get a good picture of that either because I was laughing so hard. Guess she's a JT fan.



While waiting for our dinner table, the boys hung out in the bar. Jacob bellied up and got a Sprite, on the rocks.



Sunday was 1 year since Randy and I found out we were pregnant with baby #2. We were excited but had no idea she would be this cute!!


Monday night, Randy came home for dinner and bedtime but he had to go back to work and spend the night. So, Tuesday morning we sent good morning pictures to him.





On Tuesday, we went to the mall. Jacob was very well behaved while I shopped, so he got to ride some rides.



He loves that little carousel above, but the funniest part was the song. He currently loves Ring around the Rosie (thanks to school, I guess). But the carousel sang "Ring a ring a Rosie" (probably due to copyright issues or something). So, the whole time, he kept saying, "That's not right. It's not ring a ring a Rosie. That's not right, Momma" over and over and over and over again.


He even loved the roller coaster simulator.



Hannah just liked the music.



We also converted the stroller from an infant seat carrier and regular stroller seat to regular stroller seat and a sit or stand platform for Jacob. We, of course, had to test it out a little. I'm not sure what's worse about this picture...what the wind did to Hannah's poor hair or how big her legs look from this angle. Remember the camera adds 10 pounds which is half her body weight. :0)



I also wanted to capture Hannah's favorite napping position when in her bouncy seat. She loves the blanket in her face.
Drives me crazy thinking she can't breathe! She probably won't be allowed to have blankets over night until she's 7.
