Happy Birthday Jacob!!!


Today was Jacob's birthday, it's so hard to believe but he is 5 years old already!! My little baby boy is getting so big! We started the day out with kolaches from his favorite local bakery, Max Donuts. Ironically Jacob's birthday fell on field trip day. I surprised him the night before by telling him that mommy was going to go with him! He was so excited!! We got to school, did a little coloring, and waited to get ready for the field trip. The kids in his class were so super excited & hyper for the trip!

For the days adventure we headed to The and Woodlands Mall to go to Exploration Station .
The kids were taken on a tour of their little bug exhibit. They got to see spiders, walking sticks, cock roaches! Jacob was brave enough to pet one!! It wasn't the normal type it was a Madagascar hissing cock roach!

After the bug talk, it was dinosaur time! I think this was the favorite of all the kids, they really seemed to enjoy it! There is a large pit with a dinosaur skeleton, covered with "dirt" and the kids get all kinds of "tools" to uncover the bones! I have a few pics!

After the field trip fun, we headed back to school, the kids took a nap, and finished their day! I was tired, but it was fun! My mom & I finished up some party planning for the party on Sunday, and by then it was time for Jacob to be picked up. Scott went to pick up Brandon and we all went to eat at Zio's for dinner. We had a good time, but it was such a busy day, he was so tired!





After spaghetti & meatballs, the wait staff came to sing 'Happy Birthday' to Jacob, he was so cute, I think he got a little embarrassed, but I know he loved the attention!







Here's a few close ups of the ooey gooey chocolate sundae... He loved it!!! Can you tell?

FYI

In case anyone was wondering about Jacob's invitations... No I am not that crafty and creative! Wish I could take credit but actually I purchased them on Ebay! CLICK HERE to see the sellers store.. They have alot of really cute invitations!! Jacob has been all about Transformers lately so I wasn't sure where to start, Ebay was the first thought I had!! I think they turned out pretty cute, and he was happy. Isn't that all that matters anyway?!!

No Turkey This Year!

Isabelle had her 1st Thanksgiving! No turkey for her this year though! She napped on Grandmas bed and played for a little while. Grandma made some really great food, she worked really hard, as usual. Daddy & Jacob ate lunch and then drove to Beaumont to visit at Paw Paw Charlie's house.







Here are the "after" pictures! She was really tired & worn out!

Happy Anniversary

Today was our 6th anniversary. We started the day off by clearing our room for our new bed, which is our anniversary and Christmas present this year! We got a Tempur-Pedic bed, finally in a King size! We spent most of the afternoon shopping for pillows, comforter, etc. It was nice spending the afternoon together. For dinner we went (without kids) to Fogo de Chao. This restaurant is a real experience! Not a place for vegetarians with their 'parade of meat' !!Definitely a place to go for special occasions. It was really good, especially since we hadn't eaten and just had a snack early that day.

Happy Birthday Gammaw

We went out to eat for Gammaw's birthday. It was really yummy, we went to Buca di Beppo. It's a pretty fun place to go; the restaurant is decorated with all kinds of Italian pictures and stuff, it's really neat! Jacob was a little tired and cranky, I think the time change has been a little hard for him. Here's a little video of Jacob singing "Happy Birthday" to Gammaw, and a few birthday kisses too!



Two Month Check-Up

Isabelle had her two month check-up today, and yes that meant shots too. Four of them!! Poor baby... We were waiting for the doctor to come in and I had her laying on the examination table. She was really enjoying herself for a while. I think she liked the noise she was making on the paper! Here's a little video!



She had a great check-up, and is doing really well. Here are her newest vital statistics!

weight: 10 lbs 2 oz. length: 23 inches head circumference: 38.7 cm

She wasn't happy about her shots, but she did really well. I got to nurse her right after, so I think that helped soothe her, and then Grandma took her and she fell fast asleep!


Waiting for the doctor...


The boo-boo's! You cannot see all of them, but she had 4 sparkley bandaids!

OUCH!!
