Jacob is amazing!

You show this boy something once and he just does it. He's amazing. I realize blowing bubbles aren't listed on any milestone charts or anything but for my kids, it's a big deal. It's an even bigger deal when your 9 year old brother can't blow them yet.

Check this boy out!

Bribing Daddy

This weekend, we will be going to the mountains. First time since Thanksgiving! Oh we are itching to go! Well Jamie is off of work Friday and Saturday so Jamie, Jacob and Jenna are leaving Thursday when he gets home from work. The other kids and I will follow on Friday after Jazzi and James get out of school (which of course this week, they have this fun activity AFTER school for being good and they will be home almost two hours after they normally would be).

Jamie was joking with Jenna today that she couldn't go with him anymore and the conversation went something like this....

Jamie: Jenna, you can't go to the mountains with me and Jacob anymore.
Jenna: Why Daddy?

Jamie: Because you were a bad girl today. (which she actually was)

Jenna: But I'm good now.

Jamie: Sorry. You have to wait and go with Mommy.

Jenna: I'll buy you gum if I go with you Daddy.

Well needless to say, she's going with Daddy. She was anyway but now he gets gum too! Ha ha.

Picture Frame Craft Time

I was in Michael's craft store ~ one of my favorite stores....if only I coul get everything I wanted. Oh the baskets alone! Oh wait, back to the story. I was in Michael's getting some things to make a gift for our friends. I was in the wood section where you can get plaques, shapes, letters and whatnot. They have these awesome frames for $1 each! One dollar! Paints were on sale too. Yay! Each kiddo got a frame, two colors and a neat little package of about 8 paint brushes each ($.99 for each of those!).

Here's the pictures.



The finished products!

Not sure what I was thinking with Jacob's colors ~ hard to see his name but he's happy with it!



Jenna



Jasmine ~ Obviously also known as Princess ~ the 58 is her and Daddy's special number. It was Daddy's football number in high school. Jasmine just happened to be born on May 8th, 5/8. Talk about a daddy's girl from day one!

Beautiful weather = Park time

We have a great park not far from us and today proved to be a great day to go. Obviously, everyone else had that idea too. Not that I thought otherwise or anything. We stopped at McD's and grabbed some lunch to eat there and then to play. Here's some pictures of our adventures today at the park. **Is it not weird just a few days ago, I shared pictures of my children in snow suits playing in snow?**

Chad and Uncle Jamie

Someones loves their Uncle Jamie very much! He follows him the second Jamie walks in the door from work. These two are going to be inseparable. It's so cute watching them together.

Jamie was playing PlayStation and Chad just climbed right up there with him. I tried to get the picture without Chad noticing but he did and immediately started with the "CHEESE!" Hilarious!

Finallly a BIG snow!

If you want to call roughly around 6 or 7 inches of snow, a big snow, than that's what we had! Sadly for this area, that's a ton. I snapped some pictures (from inside of course ~ me and snow are NOT friends) of the kiddos out front playing.
