Friday iPhone Dump #122

Jacob really needed a haircut before Legoland, and I finally decided it was time to trim Hannah's hair. She's never had even a trim and all of the swimming we have done this summer has really dried the ends out. She was a perfect angel and loved getting a haircut "like Bubba".


Friday night, I went to Pinot's Palette with some friends and Memaw took the kids to the mall. I'm pretty sure they missed me.


Here are our masterpieces. This one was tough due to all of the small details. I'm hoping you can't tell how bad mine is, but let's just say Memaw asked me why there were turtles in my fountain (they are birds). This piece of artwork is currently displayed in our attic.


On Sunday, we finally headed to Legoland. As usual, Randy found some fun things to do in the airport parking garage.


Waiting on our flight.


Hannah's first airplane ride. She did great...except for that 2 minute period of time (that felt like an hour) where she got her foot stuck between her seat and the wall. She was crying, I was sweating, and the sweet lady behind us helped us out. I don't think Randy and Jacob (sitting in front of us) had a clue.


The Legoland Hotel is pretty amazing. I'm pretty sure we've ruined our kids for all hotels in the future. This is a Lego waiter and the play castle is behind them.


Hannah sitting in the pool/fountain of Legos.


Posing in front of the Lego city.


Hannah slept in the bottom bunk like a big girl and Jacob slept on the top bunk thanks to a good side rail. I was afraid he was going to want to sleep up there and I'd be too scared.


Just outside of the elevators (which, by the way, have disco lights and disco music that plays every time the elevator is moving) is the Whoopee Cushion on the floor. Needless to say, they loved waiting for the elevators! It definitely makes some loud farting noises.


Jacob found Lego Darth Maul and posed like him.


And a Lego car.


Hannah did "Driving School" for 3-5 year olds and was terrible at it. This poor worker had to help her the whole time!


We were all HOT and tired.


Still going though.


Hannah driving us on the Duplo Tractor. Lucky for us, there was a track and no real driving involved. She just thought she was driving.


Riding the Duplo Train.


Not only does the hotel have figures made of Legos, they have a lot of character meet and greets. Hannah didn't like these guys AT ALL.


Jacob loved them and showed us his "hook".


The wall of minifigures.


Hannah did like meeting a real princess though!


These were Lego figures (in the park). That's why Hannah would stand by them.


More Lego figures.


Hannah being Batman.


These were people dressed up which is why Hannah is not in the picture!


Hannah jousting. I had to tell them she was 4 and they bought it.


Jacob was bored on this ride because he likes the bigger things!


They got their faces painted, of course.





This was another first for Hannah.


More Lego characters at the hotel.


Some of the Lego animals.


This was our last ride on the last day. :0(


This was Hannah's favorite Lego statue in the whole park. She laughed at him every time we passed him.


Randy has more pictures but I haven't gotten them off of his phone. So, there may be a special post...we'll see.

Friday iPhone Dump #121

Last Saturday, we had a great party for Jacob. However, we actually used our good camera instead of our phones. So, I don't have a lot to show here.

I was pretty impressed with how his cake turned out (thanks to Mom's help). I bought the icing sheet on Etsy and had a plain cake made at HEB. Now, getting the icing sheet off of the backing paper was tough, but we got it done without too much tearing!



Jacob with our neighbor Marckus.


Silly girls.


We also had a dentist trip this week and it was Hannah's first. She did fantastic! Here she is before she got her first x-Rays.


Watching the movie (on the ceiling).


Hannah watching Jacob get his teeth cleaned. She kept telling him "Good job, Jacob. You're such a big boy." And, once, even said "Looking good, Jacob!" Needless to say, the hygienist was dying laughing!!


Her turn!!

Friday iPhone Dump #120

Another slow week for pictures.

What should have been a fun-because-someone-has-a-birthday week has been a how-long-until-his-next-dose-of-medicine week.

Last Saturday, Jacob started running a low fever. It was a little worse on Sunday but seemed to be getting better on Monday. Until 5pm, of course, when he said his throat hurt and I saw the dreaded white stuff in there. So, for his 5th birthday on Tuesday, his first gift of the day was a positive strep test!! Followed by some antibiotics. He's definitely better now and should be (fingers crossed) perfect for his party on Saturday.

We were up bright and early one morning (probably for another dose of medicine) and could hear a strange sound. This hot air balloon was so close to our house. I know it doesn't look that close in the picture but it was!


Hannah refuses to leave Jacob alone when he's sick. I just hope she doesn't start running a fever, like Saturday morning...


By Wednesday night, he finally ate a little dinner and was feeling up to an ice cream. So, he got one!


One of his (many) birthday presents was a bathtub shaving kit. He wanted it so badly so he could pretend to shave "just like Daddy"! Hannah just does whatever Jacob does...

When Jacob goes to a mini camp at the Little Gym, he is gone for a total of 3 hours. And when he gets back, Hannah can't stop doing this...


Allie, being lazy.


Randy was trying to catch a quick nap last weekend and Hannah thought he needed a teddy bear.


On Sunday, we went to the circus!























After the circus, we went to visit M in the hospital. They took us up to the 24th floor observation room that was really cool. Right above Hannah's head is the Astrodome!


Wearing big girl panties!


Allie's eye was so swollen the other night. Luckily, I know a good veterinarian and she was back to normal by the morning.


Jamie came over to play and they all had a blast.

A few more pictures from Memaw and Pawpaw's house.

Both kids LOVE this fish mailbox just down the street from my parent's house. I'm not sure why they can't smile normal though.





A few more rides on the jet skis.





At dinner, Hannah wanted to wear the chip basket. So, we let her!


And, of course, Jacob had to do it too.


Last boat ride of the trip.
(No ears were cut on this ride!)


Back at home, we celebrated Hannah's half birthday.











And, Randy and Jacob played around a little with photo shop.


We went to Pump it Up on Monday and had to do the hurricane machine.


Tuesday was Crazy Day at camp and they made these crazy hats!


On Wednesday, we went to see the Minion movie.





Wanna know how to make Hannah lose her mind in 1.5 seconds? Have Jacob do this...
