Friday iPhone Dump #226

Yes, I'm very late in posting this.

Last Friday, Hannah got to join me and a friend at the nail shop and get her fingers and toes painted.  She felt like such a big girl and loved it!

One day, she requested braided piggy tails and looked SO old!

I realize we didn't move far from our last house, but the sunsets here are much prettier!

Mr. Whiskers stayed with us for a week while my parents drove to Colorado for Kelsey's wedding.  He barks a lot so I asked Jacob to have a talk with him.

We went to the big mall (Memorial City) with some friends to have the kids play in the awesome play area.  We quickly learned that you can't play in there if you are over 48 inches tall.  So, Jill stayed with the little ones and I took the big boys to find something else to do.  We found a virtual reality thing that was pretty cool.

But those big boys aren't too big for the train!

Or the carousel!!

Jacob has wanted to do iFly for a long time and made us add it to the Summer bucket list.  When asked what he wanted to do for his last Wednesday before school started, this is what he picked.  They all loved it and did great!

We got new pets this week.  Meet Raphael and April (both from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

Hannah loving on Whiskers!

More pictures from the lake... M wanted to do a picture of all of their grandkids.  However, Catie wasn't there so Randy is going to photoshop her in.  We got 2 good ones...

And, of course, a cute picture of J and H!

The whole group...after a long day on the water.

We met my parents at Bubba Gump's one day so the kids wanted to take this picture.  Unfortunately, the sun was very bright!

When your neighbors are out of town and ask you to check on their turtles, you put your kid in their pool to take a picture!

Last weekend, we started the birthday week celebrations for Jacob.  It started with his birthday party at Altitude for his friends from school and our neighborhood friends. 

Pierce, Jacob and Chase

More pictures since his Momma is crazy!

That night, he chose 2 friends to spend the night with us.  They went swimming and (mostly) had a blast.  One got sick in the middle of the night/early morning and had to go home.

Then, on Tuesday, we headed to the lake for our trip with the Wiltshire side of the family.  Aunt Laura always has such fun stuff planned.  The kids did a Pringles Challenge and, believe it or not, Hannah actually tried all of the flavors.  As you can see, she didn't like all of them.  If she didn't like the flavor, her guess was ALWAYS bar-b-que!  And poor Jacob came in last.  But he had a blast!!

When the jet skis arrived, Randy flipped his cap around and started riding and bringing kids on rides.  What he forgot to do was put sunscreen on his head.  So, we all enjoyed the semi circle on his head from the back of his cap.

MORE birthday celebrations!

Then we took a little sunset boat ride.  Hannah loved it until she got tired.

One of Jacob's birthday gifts from M and Pa was the game Pie Face.  They had a blast playing around with it...and made quite the mess.

Piñata time!

We also played another game that I can't really explain.  But at one point, you had to pick someone for M to rock and then, later, someone to sit on Pa's lap.  Everyone picked Randy and he participated.

Jacob on the ski trainer and just enjoying the water.

Hannah liked swimming near the house and LOVED riding in the tube.

Sweet cousins!

MORE birthday celebrations for Jacob.  This time, on his actual birthday.
