Jacob's 4th birthday party

We did have a wonderful birthday party for Jacob.  However, if you ask him, he is not 4 years old.  He claims he "stepped over 4" and is 5 years old.  I have no idea why he doesn't want to be 4, but Momma doesn't really want him to be 4 either.  Thank you to all of our friends and family that came out to celebrate.  He had a blast!

 

 

This jumping is hard work!  Notice the red cheeks...

 With his little friend Jacqueline. She is very protective of him and wants him to be paying attention to her at all times.  We love this little girl!!

 With Jacqueline (again) and our neighbors.

 Hannah HATES taking pictures.  But I take all pictures of her with my phone.  So, she didn't know to pitch a fit when I used a real camera and we got some cute pictures!

 Scrunched up nose and all...

 With sweet Brooke...

 

 

Brynna, Makinley, Molly, Hannah and Brooke.

 We kicked Brookie out of the picture for this one (sorry!) so that it would be the Wiltshire family girls.

 Jacob LOVES to play air hockey whenever he sees it.  However, we have an air hockey table at home that he NEVER plays on.

 Randy and Uncle Beebo.

 With her Memaw and Pawpaw.

 M, Logan and Pa

 The king for the day (or the hour)...

 

 

Most of the kiddos that were at the party.

 More of the kiddos that were at the party.

 His Star Wars cake with the symbols upside down and smushed corner.  However, he loved it more that the previous ones that I spent a lot more money on!!

 Aunt Danielle and Uncle Beebo.

 Uncle Nick and Aunt Carrie.

 Tyler, Brooke and Hannah with Jacqueline photo bombing.

 Aunt Laura and Uncle Scott.

 Nathan and Liam.  Jacob loves playdates with these two.  They have LOTS of toys that he doesn't have (since he only plays with Star Wars toys, that isn't too hard). 

 Sassy thing that NEVER eats pizza.  I'm pretty sure she ate at least 2 slices at the party.

 Ty guy!

 Happy Birthday to you!!

 

 

Liam and Nathan, again.

 Pretty little Jacqueline.

 Markus.

 And, little miss priss, again.

 

 Tyler, Jacob and Brooke.  He adores all of his cousins SO much!

 You can pay an extra $10 for the Pump it Up guy to take pictures during the jumping part of the party and then you have access to them.  However, nobody really knew he was doing this and he just looked like a creepy guy taking pictures.  Apparently, Jacob will still smile for creepy guys.  Of all of the pictures he took, these were the only decent ones...

Friday iPhone Dump #68

I still need to do a complete post on Jacob's birthday party, but that will have to come later. This week has flown by!

On Friday, we went to play at the mall. I thought I could get Hannah's attention by holding up her sippy cup. That didn't work too well...


Jacob, with Jacqueline, at his party.


I can't believe he's 4. And he can't believe it or accept it either. He claims he "stepped over 4 and is 5". I have no idea why!!


Pretty girl!


My birthday collage for him. He loves looking at it.


El señor.


Little el señor. (My Spanish isn't that great these days!).


My new body...ha!


At El Jarrito, getting the birthday treatment!!


And a bigger hat.


That night, Logan got to sleep with Jacob. I had to take a picture because it's his first sleepover (in his bed!).


But Jacob likes to sleep in the middle. Poor Logan.


On his actual birthday.

Friday iPhone Dump #67

So happy to shop with Momma when he gets to push his own little cart. I, however, am NOT allowed to put my stuff in his cart. Only fruit snacks were allowed in his cart.


For his 4th birthday, we did his room in Star Wars (what else??). He spent the night with Memaw and Pawpaw so we could do this. He was one happy little boy when he saw it.








She's not much if a snuggler unless you have an iPhone. Randy is not above using this trick to get some snuggle time.


Sunday night, we took Jacob to the circus while Hannah stayed with Memaw and Pawpaw at home. We figure she might get to go next year.





Loved the s'mores sandwich!


It takes Hannah quite a while to warm up to her grandparents each and every time she sees them. But, she eventually comes around!


Memaw gave her true pig tails that I was trying to get a picture of. I didn't do a good job but they were cute! They only lasted a few hours before a lot of hair fell in her face and we had to resort back to the one pony on the side!


Jacob got another haircut so he'll look super handsome for his birthday party.


And, whatever Jacob does, Hannah wants to do. So, she just got to sit in the chair. No haircut for her!!

Hot Mess

I just couldn't wait a whole week to show off this gem.

#1 - She doesn't like to take pictures.

#2 - This is what her hair looks like every morning.

#3 - This is what my hair looks like in the morning. Definitely my child.

Friday iPhone Dump #66

Although Jacob was feeling better last Friday, the fever came back (and brought a rash). Even though I had put up the air mattress, he convinced me that he still needed it. So, out it comes again. And Hannah was very excited about that!!


And when Jacob got up to go potty, she didn't waste any time before she stole his spot.


Here is the rash.





I was amazed that Hannah was not running a fever too because she was all over him all day long. Well, Saturday night I got her dressed to go to dinner and she started puking. She never did have much of a fever, but she threw up about 4 times, once DIRECTLY on me (just minutes after I took this picture in this same position so you can imagine). Poor baby girl...





I'm happy to report that we are all better now!!

We set up our aquarium last weekend and Hannah loves it!


She found a pair of Jacob's clean underwear while I was folding laundry and was trying to put them on. So, I helped her. They are, of course, over her diaper because she will pee within 3 seconds of me taking her diaper off. So, we're definitely NOT ready to really wear them yet!
