Friday iPhone Dump #110

Last weekend, we went to Galveston for a long weekend. In my mind, it was a test trip for our big (secret) trip to Legoland in Florida to see how Hannah would handle the rides, no naps, water park, sleeping in a real bed, etc. She did fantastic (minus a few meltdowns like when we threw her big booger away, but anyway...)!!

Our first stop was for lunch at a Mexican food place that we also ate at last year.

So, this year...


And last year (in March)...



Then we headed to Pleasure Pier. Hannah just made the height requirement to ride these swings (thank goodness for all of that hair) and loved it.


Jacob wanted to have his face painted like Spider-Man, and it seemed like a good idea at the time (keep reading).


The final product.


Hannah settled for a 'Meow' (Hello Kitty) tattoo.


Then they enjoyed some kiddie rides.


While the boys rode some bigger rides, Hannah and I found things to
do like try on hats.


She also found a boyfriend outside of the log ride and hugged him many times.








I finally convinced her to just take a picture with him.


So, that log ride that Randy and Jacob were on...NOT a good idea when your face was painted. This is what he looked like after (and for the rest of the day)!!!





Enjoying some dipping dots even though Hannah demanded she hold the spoon at all times.


And feed Jacob.


We looked like a family with a zombie child.


Hannah even slept in a big girl bed for the first time. I know it's a dark picture but it's still cute.


On Sunday, we did Schlitterbahn Galveston and had a GREAT time. Both kids stated it was the "Best. Day. Ever." We didn't take any pictures but we did wear them out. This is after Schlitterbahn.


Back at home, coloring our faces in the bath.


I didn't get any pictures of this either but Hannah also went to her first movie this week. We went with friends to see Home and she made it through the whole movie. I only had to scratch her back for the last 30 minutes. Spoiled?

On Thursday, Jill, Luke and Jake came over to play. Or, maybe it was Spider-Man and Hulk.


Then we went to lunch at Chick fil A. The boys got to sit at the high table while the girls hung out at a normal table.


Hannah wanted a pony tail "like Mommas" and thought it was oh so great!!

Jacob's teacher sent me this picture last weekend that the boys insisted she take of their "crazy block house".


Cutie wearing sunglasses "like Momma".





Handsome boy in my least favorite shirt (that he loves, of course).


Tuesday was Hannah's last day of preschool for the year.


And, Wednesday was Jacob's last day of preschool forever.

I was trying to get a picture of how red Jacob's upper lip was from all of the wiping/blowing but it doesn't look as bad as it did in person.


Jacob's class made him this Get Well card that was the highlight of his day. After being sick for almost a full week, he started truly feeling better last Sunday.


So, on Sunday, we headed to a Star Wars Art Festival. Jacob loved this life sized, colorful Han Solo in carbonite.


And, he had a Star Wars caricature drawn. Don't tell Hannah that he wasn't drawing her, too. She sat real still and smiled like he was.


The final product.


Hannah loves to play with our phones and always takes hundreds of pictures when she does. Here are just a few that I saved this week.





Thursday was Jacob's graduation from preschool. It was really cute and so sad to see him look so grown up.


Singing all of the songs and doing all of the hand motions.








Walking the stage to get his diploma.


Ms. Angela and Ms. Darcy.





The lighting was TERRIBLE in there so all of our phones (and cameras) were having a hard time focusing. This would have been an adorable picture, but I had exactly 1 second to capture it and my phone didn't focus.


A friend of mine got the next 2 pictures for me (with a nice, fancy camera that couldn't handle the lack of light either) and, although they are a little dark, they are better than mine!





After graduation pictures.





With his best buddy, Jamie.


With sweet Luke.


Being silly...


With Jamie and Ryan. They look way too old here!


Having fun with Memaw back at home.

Oh, what a week...

Let's start with happier, healthier times. Last week, Jacob's friend Jamie came over to play.


So, remember last week when Hannah got sick? Anyone want to guess what happened this week?? If you guessed Jacob got sick but much, much worse, you'd be right. As of right now, he's had 5 days of fever that often gets to 103 and higher (and pretty much never drops to normal, even with meds every 3 hours), vomiting, coughing, diarrhea, extreme runny nose and no appetite. For 5 days. Needless to say, he missed all 3 days of school this week when he was supposed to be line leader and celebrate his birthday. These are huge things to miss as a 4 year old! We made a 3:30am trip to the ER yesterday and finally have 2 antibiotics. Let's hope they work!

So, all that to remind you that when he pukes, he busts tiny blood vessels in his face. Here is my freckle looking boy up close.


Hannah just truly doesn't understand why Jacob won't play with her. So, she keeps busy by wiping the cabinets with a wet wipe.


This is closer than I want them when he's this sick, but I allowed it for a picture. This was also the day I said 107 times "Do not kiss Bubba on the mouth!!"


His silly face even looks sick.


Before Little Gym, Hannah and I had a donut date.


And when it was nap time, she ran upstairs and did this. She thinks she is sleeping here one day soon. Yeah right!!
