Friday iPhone Dump #176

Jacob is a huge fan of snow crab so we went to Joe's Crab Shack again last week. Unfortunately for me, I'm the official crab cracker and I don't do it fast enough for Jacob!


Monday was Jacob's first day of 1st grade at a new elementary.








Found his classroom and got right to work.


He is even riding the bus in the afternoon (to a stop near our new house).


Hannah went on a little date with Jake for his 5th birthday. Jill took them to Toys R Us and Chuck E. Cheese.








My packing helper found something and wants to be a baby again...

Last weekend, one of the vendors that works with Randy treated the whole clinic to a night of Top Golf. We decided to take the kids with us, and they had a blast!

Learning from Daddy.


Hannah's favorite part was waiving her club in front of the sensor that dispenses the balls.


Silly time!


On Wednesday, we went to Typhoon Texas again and brought Jacob's friend Jamie. They had a blast.


Hannah totally thought Jamie was there for her!


You know those key and key hole games in arcades with expensive prizes in them? Randy loves them and usually spends at least $20 trying to win something. Well, he finally did it. With less than $5, he won a $200 Samsung galaxy tablet. I'm not sure who was more excited...Randy or Jacob.


Who needs professional packers when you have help like this? Her job was to pack the Tupperware cabinet. This should have taken one box but is now in about 3 boxes...oh well!!

Last weekend was MORE birthday celebrations for Jacob. This time, with the Wiltshire side of the family. Friday night dinner at El Jarrito where they sang and gave him dessert. I know this embarrasses some kids, but Jacob LOVES it!!


On Saturday, we all went to Typhoon Texas and had a blast!


And even more swimming on Sunday at home.


Then, the kids went to stay with my parents for 2 nights. They rode the beach in the golf cart, a lot.


And, ate cookies.


And cookie dough...


They got to go to the water slide that is near their house.


And get snow cones.


Hannah hated the water last time we were there but is quite the beach bum now!!


Washing the shells she brought back from the beach.


Back home, wearing Daddy's hat that makes you look like you have blonde, spikey hair.

Last weekend, we headed to Moody Gardens in Galveston. But first, we had to eat dinner where we have eaten every year when in Galveston...Salsas!


I can't find the picture from 2 years ago, but here was last year. It's the same restaurant but their mural was repainted this past year.



Jacob, being a cowboy.


At the hotel, we got to meet a penguin.


And be silly frogs.


Hannah looking at the real penguins.


Watching the scuba divers work.


Waiting for the bird show to start.



Waiting for SpongeBob to start!


Hannah got picked to be one of three button pushers during the SpongeBob show. She got to, ummm, push a button!


Jacob learned a new trick!


Being Wizard of Oz people!

We went to see Ice Age last Friday. I thought it was very cute and the kids liked the snacks the best.


This was, apparently, Jacob's birthday week. It all started with a party at Chuck E. Cheese with his friends.











The whole reason he wanted to do his party there was to get in the ticket blaster.


He quickly figured out that it's harder than it looks.


Super Jacob!


Super Tyler!


Sunday was a swimming party at our house. He had a blast!











Hannah getting thrown in the air. Yes, she loved it because she's crazy!


Birthday cake #2.


And more presents!


On Wednesday, we went to Typhoon Texas.


Then to Texas Roadhouse for his birthday dinner.


He got to be the birthday cowboy!!
