Friday iPhone Dump #21

Typical morning around here: Hannah wakes up about an hour BEFORE the crack of dawn, Randy heads to work around 7:30 am, and I attempt to finish a cup of coffee before Jacob wakes up. I used to sit on the floor with Hannah while I did this. But, since she became mobile, she is magnetically drawn to my coffee cup. So, I sit on the couch. And this is my view, most mornings.


We (me and the kids) did not make it to the first Aggie game. I was a little sad until I heard it was a noon game. Randy says on a scale of 1 to 10, the miserable heat was about a 12. So, I wasn't too sad I missed it. We did dress up in our 12th man gear and send Daddy a picture though.


We (me, the kids, and my parents) actually went to Kemah for the evening for a surprise 50th birthday party for my cousin. It was great to see everyone, was a total surprise to her, and the kids were very well behaved. Jacob did announce to the party that we needed to change his diaper and did start a "We want cake" chant, but other than that, he was an angel.

I, somehow, didn't take any pictures. But, Kelsey sent me this one of Jacob.


On Sunday evening, we took Jacob to the carnival in the Katy Mills Mall parking lot. Although the rides are extremely old looking, it was perfect for him. He keeps asking to go back so I think it was a hit.

Here he is as Chuckles the Clown (all clowns are named Chuckles, to him).


On the boat ride, talking this little girl's ear off.


JJ the knight.


Just looking cute!


Riding the motorcycles.


Hannah was there, too. See?


With Daddy on the carousel.


Riding in a rocket ship.


I tried to get Hannah to wear a head band bow since she pulls the others out to eat them.


Guess what? She pulled this out and tried to eat it, too.


We went to the mall and played in the photo booth. The fancy photo booth takes 5 pictures and emails them to you. Hannah and I did a Girls' Night Out theme.














Jacob and I did a Rockstar theme.














Tuesday morning was Jacob's first dental appointment. He did great and loved the tree slide in the waiting room.





Getting X rays done.


Wearing the "heavy blanket".


Watching a movie on the ceiling.


Getting them cleaned!


Here is Hannah's favorite thing to do...all day long. It also looks like she has grown a tail. :0)


He got another haircut and looks so grown up!


Such a big helper!


Thursday was Meet the Teacher at school (we had a busy week!). Although I did not get a good picture, this is him and Ms. Janci (the assistant teacher in his class). He was so excited to be back at school and did not want to leave! When I finally dragged him out if there, he told me his new teachers were pretty!!

Friday iPhone Dump #20

Seriously? 20 weeks in a row?? Where's my cookie???

We started last weekend by attending a Mr. Potato Head birthday party for one of our favorite (now) 2 year olds. Let me clarify...he's always been one of our favorites but is just recently 2. Anyway, my son has been deprived of the joy of said spud until recently when we started speech. He pretty much thinks his speech lesson each week is just time to go play with Mr. Potato. So, he loved the party.

Here he is, all dressed up like Mr. Potato Head.



This is Luke and Jacob. Luke is the big brother of the birthday boy (who I have zero pictures of).


Hannah joined us, of course, and didn't act like a heat-hating diva...this time.


I thought she needed in on the dress up game. She didn't agree.


All 3 of us...very sweaty.


After the party and after Randy got home, we headed to Lorena. We saw some signs for a drive thru safari park and decided to try it out. NOT our best idea since Hannah was previously sleeping and Shelby was with us. Although the pictures are cute, imagine them with me and Jacob being scared of the animals, Hannah SCREAMING in the backseat and Shelby attempting to break the back windows the.whole.time.

I couldn't feed this camel (I was scared of him) but I did say, "Mike, Mike, Mike...what day is it Mike? C'mon, you know you hear me. What day is it?" A lot.





I was also scared of the zebra but didn't know any funny commercials involving zebras (lucky for Randy).





I wasn't scared of this guy.


I was TERRIFIED of this one for some reason. But the look on his face cracks me up.


He was all business and not afraid to stick his head in.


In Lorena, Jacob got to ride his favorite "toy"...Pa's tractor. It's really a lawn mower (obviously) but he thinks its a tractor. And, he is scared of a real tractor.



After riding with M, someone decided to let Logan drive him. Seems safe, right?


The best picture Randy could get of all 4 of them.


Back home, Jacob insisted on wrapping his Llama llama red pajama up like a baby and putting it down for a nap.


Hannah was busy napping herself. With her face in her blanket, again.


Here's a game I like to play. It's called Where's Hannah and is just like Where's Waldo. Someone needs to come clean this playroom.


Did I mention that she is officially crawling? Not too fast yet, but she can do it. WAY too soon!


Handsome, sweet boy. Looking too old for me to handle.


Tuesday was Hannah's first day at Little Gym. She loved it!!


She's also attempting to pull up on very low things like Jacob's trampoline and her bouncy seat. Sometimes, it's very tiring and she needs a break.
