Friday iPhone Dump #216

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!

Last Friday, Jacob's school had a Writing Celebration where we were invited into the library to spend some time with them.  They had written a series of books and were to read them to us.  Jacob wrote about a person named Connie.  It took me about 3 books to realize Connie was a boy.

Hannah was excited to go but more excited to play in the library!

On Saturday, we headed to Minute Maid Park for Jacob's Boy Scout Fair.  Friday afternoon, Hannah had gotten her new glasses but that didn't go well.  By Saturday morning, she loved them!

The Scout Fair had a little bit of everything and A LOT of people there.  Jacob got to sit in this cool racecar and make faces.

They also got to play dress up which is right up their alley.

And Jacob stuck his head in a dinosaur's mouth.

Later, Randy fixed the picture and Jacob likes this one better!

Since we were at the Astros ballpark, we took some pictures with Mickey.

That afternoon, some neighbors had a derby and crawfish party.  Hannah was so proud of herself that she finally held a live crawfish.  Too bad I ate him later!

Jacob just looking tough.

So the kids would also enjoy the derby party, Kristen made this.

On Sunday, we headed to Lorena for Logan's confirmation.   Sadly, this was the only picture I got.

The other Logan (also known as friend Logan) came to play with Hannah one day and they wanted to watch Trolls and eat popcorn.

Rocky got his summer haircut this week but refuses to take a good picture.

And, we are FINALLY almost done with our outdoor patio.  Randy did a lot more work than me, but I did pick the cute throw pillows.  Nevermind that our tv is playing KidzBop, we still think we're cool!
