Friday iPhone Dump #281

Here is a post from Friday, August 31st.

Hannah did a cheerleading clinic with her friend Khloe at Tompkins high school one Saturday morning.

Here is the whole group.

When eating at Lupe Tortillas, you must be silly on the pig.

Hannah and another friend Cori playing cheerleaders at a birthday party.

Jacob has a hard time waking up in the morning.  When he was too tired to move, he laid down on the kitchen floor.  Hannah was trying to annoy him and it worked!

The kids wanted to make fake poop (peanut butter and chocolate syrup) to try and trick Randy.  They enjoyed this way more than the should...haha!

Hannah got to perform at the Tomkins peprally but Jacob is the one who got a picture with the mascot.

The Aggies had their season opener on a Thursday night.  So, we took the kids (even though it was a school night).  Of course, we had to take them to the bar first.

Hannah loved her face "tattoo".

And she loved the dance team there.

And they always love Bottle Cap Alley.

Here is a post that should have been posted on Friday, August 24th.

Murphy and Rocky are learning to love each other.  Sometimes, they even quit playing/fighting long enough for a picture.

Hannah is definitely loving Murphy because she can carry him around.

And he's even been in the pool a few times.  He doesn't love it but he doesn't hate it as bad as Rocky.

Hannah's teacher sent this from the first day of school.

We also got her an extra pair of glasses in case she ever breaks hers.  She had to wear them for a few days and actually likes them.

We ended the week with a fun birthday party for Jake at Chuck E. Cheese.

Here's a post from August 17th.

The boys in this neighborhood love to play baseball during the summer.  And the girls love to cheer for them. So, on the last Friday night before school started, we had the Ibis Lake All Star game.  One of the parents even made shirts for them!

Here is my baseball player.

And our cheerleader!

The whole gang.  Clearly we should have done this picture before it got dark!

Then on Monday night, we had Meet the Teacher.  Jacob has Mrs. Reddit and Mrs. Shah.  I forgot to get a picture with him and Mrs. Shah so here is Mrs. Redditt.

And Hannah has Mrs. Brown.

Crazy girl in the bath!

And then it was time for the first day of school.  They were both kinda excited....but Hannah more than Jacob!

While they went to school, I went to meet Mom and Dad to pick up our new dog!  They adopted Murphy but he wasn't getting along with Mr. Whiskers at all.  He and Rocky play/fight ALL DAY LONG!

Hannah was VERY excited!

Walking to the bus stop the next morning, we saw another hot air balloon.

Cori and Hannah at bus stop.  Hannah is SO happy that she gets to get on the bus with them this year!!

This should have been written on Friday, August 10th.

So this was the weekend that we headed up to The Woodlands Resort with our neighbors, the Bonners.  We had never been there before but the kids loved it.  And I loved that you didn't have to walk a mile to get back to your room from the pool, like you have to do at Hyatt Lost Pines.  Otherwise, it was very similar.

This middle tower thing has 2 slides that are racing slides.  I always lost...FYI.

Fletcher did not want to take a picture and jumped in the water just before snapping this. But there really were 4 kids that had a lot of fun!

While the girls/kids hung out at the pool, the boys went golfing.  So, we had to do a hotel room selfie!

And we asked the boys to do a golfing selfie!

Me and Micheala at the pool.

When we got back home, we had out LAST birthday celebration for Jacob.  We had been so busy that we never had a chance to go to any restaurant he wanted (which we always do).  He got smart this time and choose Uncle Julio's because they have a chocolate piñata.  Most of these pictures are terrible because of the sun...sorry.  The last picture is after her broke the piñata open.

Later that week (on Wednesday, of course) we headed to San Antonio to Fiesta Texas.  Although Jacob is not in any pictures, I promise he was there!  He's really into the big roller coasters now and Hannah is NOT.   So we had more fun playing around while the boys rode the big coasters.

Hannah's favorite ride is the mini coaster called The Roadrunner Express.  This chicken is always at the exit and she always takes a picture with him. One day I'll dig out the other pictures we have with him!

 She choose to lay on the ground like Bugs...I didn't make her.

 Just hanging with Santa...in August.
