Friday iPhone Dump #65

Buying fireworks with the 3 kids...


Jacob loved the fireworks as long as he got to wear Randy's shooting ear covers.


We went to a new indoor play place called Giggles and Fun. The kids loved it and the parents weren't impressed (for the price).





Hannah, still putting everything in her mouth. When does this "phase" end??











An upside down picture!!


Happy 1 1/2 sweet girl!











She got a doll stroller for her babies and it didn't take long for her to sit in it.


Poor little Jacob was running a high fever on Wednesday and Thursday. He looks so terrible (and is strangely funny) when he has a fever.


Hannah was trying hard to catch it too. She would NOT leave him alone!


Momma Groom made her a precious dress that she refused to model. This was the best picture I got.

Hannah playing pirate dress up with Shelby. Poor dog...


I laughed at this picture because it looks like she is saying "Argh!"


We were playing outside but we weren't driving the dune buggy this night. I told them the battery was not in it (little lie) so they just sat in there and pretended.


Here is what Randy was building last week. It's Jabba's Palace and rancor pit. It has a working trap door and moving Han Solo in carbonite. I'm pretty sure Jacob doesn't know how lucky he is.


M and Pa brought some gifts for the kids. One of Hannah's was fairy wings that she wears daily. She just doesn't open her eyes for pictures.


I made a July calendar in hopes that Jacob would understand how far away his birthday is and I would not keep getting that question daily. In case you're wondering, he loves it but it didn't work.


An old friend of the family is moving and found something that she bought from us in a garage sale. It is my old Barbie case with 10 of my old Barbies inside. It was so sweet of her to send it back to me!


My sweet boys and girl.

Last Friday, my parents came to Katy and took us to the boat show in Houston. Jacob got to pretend he caught a big fish.


But, his favorite part of the show had nothing to do with boats...he liked these bubble things a lot.





Hannah was bribed to smile here with fruit snacks. She halfway did it so I gave her half a fruit snack (just kidding).


Wearing Momma's sunglasses and showing off her boo boo between her eyes.


Randy was building something for Jacob (don't ask...it's Star Wars related and I'll post a picture when and if it gets finished) but Jacob wanted to build too. I thought this was so cute!!


I didn't take this picture but thought it was awesome. It's the sunset at my parents house.


On Wednesday, we went to the Houston Children's Museum.





"Cheese!!"


This is better...


Hannah likes to be this close to Jacob ALL of the time!! He doesn't like it as much.


See...still sharing a chair.

Very slow week (picture wise) around here.

I have started selling a lot of our old baby things on some of the local Facebook yard sale sites. I have never bought anything until I found a listing for 50+ Star Wars figured for only $25. When I picked them up, there were actually 60 of them. We figure they are about $5 a piece so that's $300 worth of fun for $25. Score! After they all took a quick bath in vinegar/water, he was REALLY excited to play with them. Here is one happy little boy...


And, since only family reads this, please don't think there is nothing left to buy him for his birthday. This child has been making his Amazon wish list for months!!

Pretty girl in the dining/playroom. We had the carpets taken out and put in hardwood laminate this week.


Looks great without all of those toys in there! But my living room was a nightmare!!

I used to get very excited when Hannah learned a new trick.  However, she has a new one that Randy, Jacob and I are all NOT excited about.  She can easily climb up into our breakfast room chairs (we have a high table and chairs more like barstool height).  Jacob used to be able to play on the table and keep it away from her.  But...there is no stopping her now!

 Yes, that's purple bath water.  But they also love to both lay on their bellies and kick.  And, apparently, she likes to eat the caps from the bath markers.

 Just some fun bath soap.  We do this over and over and over and over and over again...at every bath.

 Back up in the tall chairs...

 We made some cute summer cupcakes this week.  Here is my helper (or tester) and little Miss Nosey in the background.

 Aren't they cute?  I love that I can make a whole batch, keep 4 or 6 of them and ship the rest up to Lakeside!

 Again...in the tall chair.  But looking very cute!

 Riding in the car at CiCi's pizza.  You can't tell it here but she isn't feeling great right now due to some new teeth popping through.  She already has 14 and has 2 more coming.  Then it will just be the 2 year molars so hopefully that will be a while before they come in!

We got a cute, new doggy sprinkler in hopes that Hannah would like it.  Jacob loves it but Hannah, not so much.  Jacob runs through it like a crazy person.  When the water touches Hannah, she freezes like a statue.  Which makes her get even more wet.  Oh well, she still likes playing outside and just avoids the sprinkler.

What?  You don't sit on your dog too?

 

One morning, I thought I would pull out one of Jacob's favorite homemade toys from when he was little...my colander with pipe cleaners in it.  I thought Hannah would like it.  However, Hannah didn't get her hands on it much because Jacob thought it was an astronaut helmet.  Please excuse the astronaut in his underwear...

 Hannah did get to play astronaut too, but she never got to play with the pipe cleaners.  Jacob had those off in about 1.3 seconds.  Oh well.

 I know this is hard to see, but one day, while driving, I hear "We're holding hands and Hannah likes it."  At the next stop sign, I tried to take a picture in my mirror because it was so cute.  I hope they always like each other this much (although I know they won't)!

 Just some handsome boys I was lucky enough to have dinner with.

 Me and sweet baby girl!

 Jacob climbing the tree at the mall play area.  He was very proud of himself!

 Hanging out on the campfire at the play area.

 Both riding the carousel, but Jacob wanted to show me his "mean" face...while riding a baby carousel in a baby train.  Looks sooooo mean!!

 This isn't a great picture but it happens every day when she wants her juice.  She basically grabs the handles to the refrigerator, puts her feet on there and SCREAMS "JUICE!!"  It's hard not to laugh.

 On Wednesday, Randy went to Galveston to go fishing with his friend Derrick who was in town.  They had fun and actually caught a few fish!  Here's proof.
