Friday iPhone Dump #44

Last week, we built a tent in the living room with dining room chairs and a blanket. They loved it and thought it needed a couch, and then toys, and then snacks, etc. Jacob refused to smile, though.





When Daddy got home, the tent came down and the rides began.


Hannah took a pretty good hit to the wall the other day. It was worse than it looks here. She would not let me take a normal picture but loves looking in the mirror.


Playing at the park.


Jacob, taking a picture of himself.


And, one he took of Hannah. Poor girl, she totally got my hair. If I were to let my hair air dry and then go to sleep, this is EXACTLY what it would look like.


Riding the horse at Texas Roadhouse.


And holding on to sister!


Bad lighting but pretty girl!

Pretty slow week around here for pictures...

It all started one morning when Jacob wanted to sit on his little couch and watch tv. Hannah REALLY wanted to sit next to him...so she did. Kinda...


We went to McDonalds one night to play (I mean, everyone is healthy right now. Why not catch something?). And Hannah got to play, too. I would never let her play when she mostly crawled, for obvious reasons.


She loved it! Especially crawling into places where I could barely reach her.


One night, I heard a scream from the playroom which is her "I'm stuck!" scream. This is where I found her...stuck in a toy bucket that she pulled off the shelves and emptied.


Jacob has been so busy playing Star Wars EVERYDAY that we haven't played with much else. So, when he asked to play play-doh one night, I happily let him.


Hannah is also not very good (also known as terrible) in most restaurant high chairs. So, we use this booster seat and strap her in real good. Well, at times, they give us a booth and she sits in it next to me but there is no way to strap her down. So, she figured out she can stand up in it...

Hannah is into everything these days...including the fireplace.


I'm not sure what this picture is all about. I was instructed by a 3 year old to take lots of pictures of him and then he chose his favorite. Then, I was instructed to send it to Daddy.


I love these blue jeans I bought her! Every time she wears them, I sing "Baby's got her blue jeans on..."


Randy and Jacob went to the Harlem Globetrotters last weekend. Jacob loved it...especially the popcorn part!


Then we met them for dinner at Jason's Deli. Hannah loves the ice cream.


On Tuesday (the snow day), they were too quiet for a minute but I enjoyed the 5 minute break. Here is what I found...Hannah is under the desk eating a pen.


She also likes to throw things away and, I guess, put things in the toilet. I found this 7 minutes after the mess in the study.


Shelby was even cold that day. She actually has more and more days where she just doesn't feel good. :0(


Just eating some lunch, looking cute!

Happy 3 1/2 birthday, Jacob!

As many of you know, I believe in celebrating half birthdays. And, today, Jacob is 3 1/2!!

His school was canceled today due to the bad weather that we never had, so we got to have a fun day at home. It seemed like a long day for me (because we NEVER stay home ALL day) and was a long day for Jacob because I told him we could have cake and open presents when Daddy got home. At last, Daddy finally came home!

Of course, everything was Star Wars. But we just got a very small cake, and it was a cookie cake. And Jacob was a fan.



If you look closely, there are 3 1/2 candles. Jacob asked why I bought a short candle.


Singing him "Happy Half Birthday"...





Hannah bought him some new Star Wars men.


And she got to eat the envelope! (Never mind her hair...like I said, we didn't leave the house today!)


Daddy and I got him a new space ship...something Star Wars, of course.


I'm pretty sure Hannah was a fan of the cookie cake, too.

Last weekend, the weather was very much NOT like it is right now...it was beautiful so we played outside a lot.





This week, we made Jacob's favorite clothing purchase to date. Star Wars light saber shoes that light up when you walk. He absolutely loves them and we have had zero fights about getting dressed...as long as he gets to wear these shoes.


Riding the baby carousel at the mall.


Hannah even rode (her first time ever). See the death grip she has on those handles?


Then, we went to do the roller coaster simulator. I let Hannah ride, too, but tried to take her out when I realized it jerked around a lot and had no seat belts. She slapped my hand away and wasn't scared at all. She did, however, keep her right hand on Jacobs leg the entire time. I thought it was so sweet!!


And riding in some big car. Neither one look very amused.


Randy got a delivery today (while at work) and we needed to show him what was delivered. My model was more than happy to try it on.

Now that she's 1, I thought it was time for her to ride in the race car at HEB. She is terrible in the regular cart. No matter how tight I get the seat belt, she WILL turn around and stand up. I was hoping the race car would keep her still...I was wrong.


Think they are related?


Just waking up last Saturday. Notice the half dressed kid in the background?


Hanging out with family at her party.


We took a lot of pictures (with the real camera) at her party. I need to post all of them, but I saved 2 of my favorites to my phone.





Just chillin out on the playroom couch.


Jacob was sick last Monday night (throwing up) and looked terribly sad. He got sick really fast but, luckily, got well very fast. He even made it to school on Tuesday and has been fine ever since (knock on wood).


Jacob likes to sit at the bar and play, and Hannah joins him the best way she can.
