Friday iPhone Dump #254

Last weekend, a bunch of us grabbed tickets to our neighborhood casino party.  Tickets are very hard to get and sold out in less than 24 hours.  We got all dressed up and had a great time.

My husband refuses to take normal pictures most of the time.

Last Tuesday night was an Olympic themed Cub Scout meeting.  Jacob had a blast!

Hannah even got in on the fun when the bobsled came open.

Wednesday was the wedding of Q and U in Hannah's class.  They got to wear their nice dresses to school that day!

And Thursday was Open House at Jacob's school.  Hannah was most excited to sit in Jacob's seat (which she is) but there were also little games at all of the tables.

Last weekend, the kids went to stay with Memaw and Pawpaw so that they could do the Mardi Gras parade in Crystal Beach.  Memaw made sure they were decked out and parade ready!

However, Hannah decided that she needed a little more bling.

Apparently, that morning, they were locked in the pantry for a while?!?!

But they were allowed out and had a ball at the parade.

While the kids are away, Momma and Daddy will...go to a bar with our neighbors.  And take selfies in the parking lot.

On Sunday, we met in Galveston for another parade (this is the Children's parade that we went to last year also) but this year it was only like 38 degrees.  SO cold!  Each kid also likes to be the one taking pictures now so you get a few different shots here...

All done and ready to head home.

At home, Memaw wanted us to count the beads.  We were too tired to do that on Sunday but we did pour them all over the island to see how many there were.

Jacob's class had their PTA party this week and I got to attend.  We had a ball!

And more selfies by Hannah.

Last Saturday was Jacob's second Pine Wood Derby. Last year, he didn't place and we were in and out of there in under 30 minutes.  This year, he did so well among the Wolves that he got to race in the finals.  So, Hannah and I had to come home and eat lunch while the boys ate up there.  We were back in time for the finals.  He won 1st place among the wolves but didn't place (for a trophy) with the whole group.  I think he ended up in 7th overall.  He was SO proud of this even though he didn't help Randy with the car much (or at all) this year!

I love our neighborhood SO much.  Not only can I send my kids down the street to play with friends for hours, occasionally the Fulshear PD stops by to talk to them while they are outside.  One of the other moms sent me this picture.  And although Jacob was scared to go inside the car (even after being told he could), Hannah LOVED it.  They even got to sing over the speaker for all of the neighbors to hear!

Hannah got a bit of an early Valentine's Day present from her Daddy when they went to CVS together.  He knew I would think it was obnoxious so he bought it for her!!

Again...the pretending to drink wine (it's grape juice this time).  Wonder where they learned this from??

We had a little playdate last Friday with Hannah's class and a few other friends.  They had a blast!

On Saturday, we sent the Dads and boys and Hannah to Monster Jam.  Hannah had no idea she was the only girl with 8 other boys!

Sunday was Jacob's 7 and a half year birthday!

And another playdate/lunch date with Hannah's friend Claire at Lupe's!

Hannah decided to stuff all of her balls from her Giant Kerplunk game in her shirt...

While M and Pa were here, we had to have an early celebration for M's birthday.

On Saturday night, we went to Top Golf with the Bonners.  Hannah was really into it this time and loved to have Randy help her.

Crazy kids

Hannah and Micheala

After Top Golf, we went to hang out at the Bonner's house.  Apparently we stayed too long because Hannah couldn't make it.

Hannah and her friend Charly being silly!
