Happy Birthday Jacob!!


Jacob's birthday was July 3rd. Yes, almost a 4th of July baby! I think this is the 1st year he didn't think that all the firework celebrations were for him ...ha. That makes me laugh.

Here is my little guy and his big sister. He was about 1 month here. She has always been momma #2. Despite his protests. We had to keep an eye on her, she would just pick him up whenever, plop him up on her shoulder... Jacob is all into Star Wars this year. He has about 4 or 5 different SW games for the X-box, they are his favorite. And he can pretty much tell you all about the movies. I've never seen all of them, but I don't need to, he gives me the scoop.
We had his party at a park with a splash pad.
Some of us stayed in the shade while the kids played in the water. Jacob just loves little Addison and requested that she come to his party. He always talks about wishing she was his little sister.

Xander enjoyed some cake. Yummy!


Jacob received so many cool gifts.

Darth Vader pinata. This one was cool because the kids just pull the string and there is one certain string that will open the candy. No flying bats!!

Some water fun.

Brice liked to hang out behind the water fountain, rather than being sprayed. Can you blame him, you should have seen his face! He was loving it.

On Jacob's actual birth-day he opened a few gifts from us. Here he is showing his aiming skills with his new laser gun.

And the new scooter. No more sharing Jordan's, he has his own cool red fire one.

Yes, Linds...I was going to explain the couches and forgot...ha. In case any of you noticed...the lovely "pleather" couches in the baby pic were given to us because we gave our couch to Todd's brother, and we were going to buy new ones once we got to Abq. and found a house...but then once we got moved out there we found out we may not be staying and we held on to the "ghetto white couches" a little longer. What was even better was that they had feet that we never attached to the bottom (remember they were supposed to be temps) and so they were "low ridin' ghetto white couches...ha! Oh the days!

Loved the pics. Can't believe how big Jacob is getting. That Darth Vader pinata is very cool. I think those ghetto white couches are making a comeback - very retro! Happy Birthday, Jacob!
