Coming home from Lorena last weekend, we saw a carnival in the parking lot of the mall in College Station.  We rarely pass a parking lot carnival without stopping!  The kids (including Randy) had a blast.

Jacob was out of school on Monday for President's Day, so we went roller skating with some friends.

Jacob is very cautious (surprise, surprise) and Hannah fell a lot (surprise, surprise).  They both got a lot better while we were there, but this was my view a lot of the time.

Tuesday night was Jacob's first real Cub Scout Pack meeting.  He was so excited.  It didn't hurt that this meeting was Star Wars themed.

He also got his Batmobile Pine Wood Derby car back.

Some friends from his gymnastics class.  Pierce (in the middle) is also in his class at school.

Last night was Open House at Randolph.  Both kids had a blast!

And, a silly picture, of course!

Our sweet valentines got their gifts a little early.

Randy and Jacob are working on riding without training wheels.  Jacob is a little scared but doing well.

On Sunday, we had a birthday party at Westwood.  Here is Monkey #2.

And here is Monkey #1.

The coach was throwing them into the foam pit.  Look how high Hannah is!

Jacob got a valentine surprise at school.  We had written notes about why he was so special and they were wrapped up in this kiss.

Eating lunch with Jacob at JRE.  One of Hannah's favorite things to do!

Last weekend, Jacob did his first Cub Scouts activity which was the Pine Wood Derby.  That morning, we didn't even have his uniform yet so he had to go in his new Cub Scouts t-shirt.

Hanging out with his friends...

After the Pine Wood Derby (where he came in 6th out of 24 cars), we headed to the scout store to finally get his uniform.  He loves it!

We also finally found a pair of glasses that both we like AND Hannah likes!  We have ordered these since the eye doctor changed her prescription...again.

On Monday they started digging our pool.

And Hannah likes to sit like this and watch them as much as she can.

This was what it looked like by Tuesday afternoon.

We also kept Sassy for 2 nights which Hannah LOVED.  Sassy would help me wake Hannah up each morning.

On Thursday, Jacob's school had one of their big fundraisers called The Retriever Dash.  It was basically fun, outdoor obstacles that they rotated through.  We had a blast!

This is Jacob's best friend Chase and his mom Kerry.

On Thursday, we got our gunite sprayed in.

And, you are supposed to water the gunite, twice a day, for seven days to help it cure.  We got in a little late last night but I still needed to water it.  So, I had a helper...

We are keeping Mr. Whiskers this week while my mom and dad are on another cruise.  Clearly, nobody has taught this dog any manners.

 We went to Party City and made Jacob try on this mullet hat.  It scares me how much that looks like me at 6 years old...

 Last Saturday was another half birthday around here!!

 On Tuesday, it was the 100th day of school so Jacob dressed like a 100 year old man.  He LOVED doing this but didn't make it long at school with the eyebrows and mustache since they itched him.  This is the face he thinks old men make...

 Mrs. Dockal used an old person filter and sent us this picture.  Notice half of the costume is gone!!

 We took the kids out of school a little early on Wednesday to go downtown to the NFL experience.  Here is Hannah as a football player (ignore Randy's feet back there).

 Silly kids.

 Jacob as a football player.

 My 3 news reporters.

 They marked off for our pool this week and should begin digging on Monday!

Just hanging out in my bed.

Hannah had her yearly eye doctor appointment this week.  She insisted on bringing baby Elizabeth because she was worried about getting drops in her eyes.  Other than the nurse missing her eye once, causing it to roll into her mouth and causing Hannah to spit everywhere, it went fine. 

One of Hannah's best friends that she has been at Grace with for the last 2 years is moving to Mobile, Alabama.  Last Wednesday was Bradley's last day.  Hannah doesn't fully understand the move as she has told me he is already back (they are planning to come back in 3 years).

And, one more with their friend Harper.

Again, I have no idea why I don't have any pictures of Jacob this week, but he's around here too.  Don't worry, you'll see him next week because next Tuesday is the 100th day of school and he is dressing like an old man!

Last Saturday, we went to Traders Village again to ride some rides.  The kids think a day at the flea market is so fun!

Saturday night, we went to Lupe Tortillas and had some margaritas.  Jacob even had a kids strawberry margarita.

Poor Rocky...some days he has to act like a baby and hang out in the baby's bed.

Hanging out at the neighbors house (after swimming...in January!).
