Friday iPhone Dump #217

Last Friday, the Captain Underpants movie came out.  These are from some books that Jacob loves, so we had to go see it.  It was actually pretty cute, and so were my dates.

However, when my kids find a huge pair of underwear, they are going to be silly!

Jacob is LOVING that he can ride a bike now.  However, he's getting too big for his 16 inch bike that we took the training wheels off of.  I wanted to be sure he could ride a 20 inch bike (without being scared) before we buy him one.  So, he practiced on the neighbor's bigger bike and LOVED it too!

Saturday morning, we headed to Kemah for some fun.  Hannah loves this Jungle bounce ride and it's right next to Jacob's favorite ride.  So, she got to ride it a lot!

Just waiting for Jacob and Daddy.

Taking a break for lunch.

We then headed to Galveston to also do Pleasure Pier (they are owned by the same person so you can buy a wristband for both).  We first checked into our hotel and went swimming.  I was just enjoying my view.

And this was the view from our balcony.  It looks pretty but the pool stays open until 2:30am and was loud until about 3am!

At Pleasure Pier, they did a lot of rides.  But Hannah's favorite is the Pirates Plunge where you get wet.  Look at her face in this picture...love it!

Dinner at Joe's Crab Shack so that Jacob could eat some crab.

Sunday morning was very stormy, so we were killing time in the hotel room to see if the storms would pass.  The kids loved the robes and shower cap.

Since the rain didn't stop, we left the hotel and went back to Kemah to ride some more rides.  During our lunch break, I noticed that a bird had left a present in Hannah's hair.

We all did the Iron Eagle zip line.  Everyone loved it except Randy!

Last ride of the day!

Hannah was pretty exhausted on the way home.

On Tuesday, the kids and I went to the Fort Bend Children's Museum.  Jacob found Anakin Skywalker!!

And...some planets.

They also had DIY face painting.  Worst. Idea. Ever.

Hannah loved playing in the pretend Vet Clinic.

And Jacob liked being the security guard at the pretend bank.  He stood like this forever so that no robbers could come in.

At home, we finally used the last of our bubble wrap.  When all of the popping was done, we had a little fashion show!

Hannah pretending to be a vet at home too!

Last Monday was Rocky's 1st birthday (as far as we know) so we celebrated with a doggie cake.  Although he looks scared for his life, it was only because Jacob was holding him...tight...

On Tuesday, Jacob's class had their Celebration of Learning.  It was so cute!  Here he is with Mrs. Dockal.  He LOVED her this year...

On Wednesday, I had a lunch/meeting with the other first grade homeroom moms.  So, Randy took Hannah to Giggles and Fun.  It looks like they had fun (even though the place is kinda lame).

On Thursday, Jacob had a half day.  We were ready for them to get off of the but at 12:40 with 4 coolers full of water balloons.  After nailing them as they walked off of the bus, we let them handle the rest.

After asking Jacob to show me his "School's out for summer!" face, this is what I got.

After the water balloon fight, we had popsicles for them.  Have I mentioned how much I love my new neighborhood?????

We're on year 2 of taking Jacob's picture in this shirt, and I only have 11 more years to go.  Here's hoping I can remember things that long!!  Here is this year and then a comparison to last year...

Last Friday night, we went to the Astros game.  Randy has a client that sells his extra tickets and they are great seats.

We even made it through the whole game (thanks to A LOT of snacks) to see the fireworks after the game.

On Saturday, Hannah had her Gym Fest (sort of like a dance recital but way less formal) to show off her gymnastic skills.

She did awesome and was so excited to get a gold medal!

We also had baby Zach's 1st birthday party that evening.  The kids scored some huge lollipops!

On Sunday, we helped celebrate our friend Stella's birthday at McDonalds.  She had a PJ Masks party so here are my little superheroes.

On Tuesday, we had Hannah's class over for a swimming party.   9 out of 12 came and they had SO much fun!!

Silly kids playing with SnapChat!

Jacob's teacher sent these cute photos to us last Friday.

And I had to take a picture of how Hannah wanted to watch a movie the other day...in a dog bed.

Last Friday night was the Mother/Son Event at JRE.  It was SO cute.  The sons were given a wallet and tickets to pay for our mini dates.  We went around the gym and cafeteria and had dates.  There was dinner (popcorn), bowling, mini golf, photo booths...
Some couples wanted to match each other.  And if you know Jacob, that's right up his alley (to be fair, he wanted us to go in full costumes but I said no).

This was at our dinner date.

We had just bought his fidget spinner that day.  And we brought it (in my pocket) and waited to see if other kids were bringing theirs.  I probably saw 200 of them that night!  So, this is how Jacob and I waited in line a lot...

Photo booth!

The next morning, we headed to Crystal Beach for the Crab Festival.  Here are Hannah and me on the ferry.

With Memaw on the beach!

If you look closely, that's Randy and Jacob WAY out there.

Time for the Crab Festival!

The kids really wanted face paint...of course.

Jacob finally rode the zipper (again - he's ridden it before and loved it but then decided he was scared of it).  He absolutely loved it and can't wait to find another carnival with a zipper!!

This week, after Hannah's last day of preschool, this is how she and her friends spent their time together on the playground.  We kept telling them to go play, but they had fun!
