Friday iPhone Dump #73

Randy, Jeff and Ethan at the football game. I had to steal this from his phone after he got home so it's on this week, not last like it should be.


On his way back into town, he couldn't pass up the astronaut suit and helmet that Jacob liked so much last year at the airport. Well, Jacob really liked and wanted the helmet, but he got the whole suit too.


Doesn't he look like a real astronaut?


And, for those times when he isn't walking on the moon, it came with a NASA ball cap.


What Bubba does, Hannah does...


Just a typical trip to Academy for us...


Jacob will be in school on Wednesdays starting next week, so we took advantage of both Jacob and Randy being home and went to the downtown aquarium.


He thought this was yet another astronaut costume...


As you probably already know, we had to say goodbye to Shelby on Wednesday. I took this not long before making the decision with Randy to bring her up to the clinic. She was in a lot of pain and I miss her like crazy.


On Thursday, we had Meet the Teacher at preschool. Hannah was not thrilled about it and only un-latched from my side when she saw Jacob playing. I'm not sure how that's going to work next week...


Jacob is thrilled to be heading back to school!!


Ms. Darcy, Jacob, and Ms. Angela.

Jacob rode this roller coaster simulator at the mall all by himself last week. I was shocked he would do it without me, but he really likes roller coasters!!


Here he is as Buzz Lightyear at a friend's birthday party.


More Buzz...


And, all of us!


Luke came over to play while Jill took Jake to the doctor one day. The boys had a great time together!!


And even climbed into Hannah's crib for fun.





I had to sneak this picture but she set up this "picnic" all by herself.


Since Randy went to South Carolina for A&M's first football game, we came to my parent's house. Memaw made Jacob his very own Jedi robe and he LOVES it!!








Snuggling with Memaw.


Riding on the boat.


They love to ride at the front together (while Jacob screams at Pawpaw to go faster).


Playing on the beach.


Me saying "Go hug your sister for a picture" did not go the way I visioned it.


Handsome boy!!


For those of you that don't speak Aggie, I'll translate (Beat The Hell Outta South Carolina). This was what we sent to Daddy just before the game started.

Hannah has a new hiding spot. Can you find her? She is NEVER quiet...until she crawls into our closet.


We went back to Giggles and Fun and this was Jacob's favorite part...





She still refuses to take pictures. But she loves when I turn the camera around so she can take selfies.


I helped with the above selfie but found about 200 just like this one on my phone later.

Friday iPhone Dump #70

Last Friday morning, this was flying right above our house. They were so low that I could hear them talking!


Friday was also Jacob's dreaded 4 year check up with shots. Hannah went to Adventure Kids so we could tackle this together. So, first, we went to Fuddruckers (his choice) to prepare. He did OK and will tell you that he doesn't like shots...at all.


Pretty girl not scared of taking a picture...for once.


We went up to my parent's house and Jacob forgot to brush his teeth. :0)


Riding the jet ski with Memaw. This crazy girl jumped off the moving jet ski while Randy was driving. It gave us all a good scare but really scared Randy. I'm pretty sure he'll let her ride again when she is 18.


Jacob still loves it!


Such a pretty view from the boat dock.


Driving his space ship while watching cartoons.


Aunt Laura found some Star Wars workbooks and Jacob loves them!!

This is actually from last week at Splashway. I forgot that I took this with Randy's phone. Sweet girl will actually sit still for some food. In this case, it's cheese.


We finally turned Hannah's seat around in hopes that it stops some if the screaming in the car. She was very excited and has done quite well! We were headed to San Antonio to spend a few nights at La Cantera Hill Count Resort.


They have pools, s'mores at night and show a movie on the lawn. Hannah only lasted a few minutes (due to the free popcorn) but the boys stayed a little longer.


The next morning we hit up Fiesta Texas. It was hot but Jacob had a blast. His favorite was a roller coaster that he rode a few times. And hanging out with this skunk.


He also loved Scooby. Hannah did not!!


She could ride a few rides. And loved it!!


That night, the boys went back to the water park at Fiesta Texas. We stayed at the hotel. They sent us this picture.


So we sent them this one.


Momma Groom made them some hooded towels. Jacob really likes his since it looks like a Star Wars cloak.





Hannah likes hers too because we tell her she is pretty in it.


A rare moment of Hannah/Daddy snuggle time. She will sit still if he rubs her back. She is just like her Momma.


Just killing some dinosaurs at Tilt in the mall.


And playing skee ball.


And riding fake roller coasters.
