Self Awareness

Jacob is growing so fast. I can barely pick him up anymore. He's becoming increasingly aware of his appearance and wants to put gel in his hair to make it stick straight up.

Jacob thought it was cool that he could make a cap eraser suction to his chin. He did it for hours and this is what it did to his chin....(HICKEY)

He thought it was funny. Oh and he told me a boy at school said he has "buck teeth". I tried to explain to him they just look bigger because all his other teeth are baby teeth. Why do kids have to be so cruel?

Jacob drew these letters and numbers on his marker board in his room and I thought it was hilarious! DANGER DO NOT ERASE!!!

Jacob was happy he didn't have to wear a tie this time!

My 3 handsome boys...They are growing up....too fast. :-(

Jacob is trying to casually hold Jonah with his elbow before he dove off the couch.

sneaking white powdered donuts out of my bag at the bowling alley....I didn't know he was eating them I just "Caught" him in the act!

We went bowling and the LOVED IT!!! Maybe we'll go back....one day.

Dentist Visit

They were playing with "Moon sand"

They were dressed up for picture day at school.

Jacob went to the dentist for his cleaning and he does not have any cavities. He also got a report card today and had all S's with the exception of one E in Physical Ed. And he got scored above average in reading. So he's doing great in school.

Seven Years Old!

I can't believe he's already 7. I decorated the night before with lots of balloons tacked to the ceiling in the living room and streamers in the kitchen. When he got up to pee in the middle of the night he said "mommy I'M SEVEN" it was so cute because with his eyes squinting and half asleep he still saw the decorations and realized it was his birthday. He said several times that day "I can't believe I'm seven Mommy" It was so adorable. He's 4ft. 1 in. And in the 95% for his age. How will I discipline him when he's taller than me? I am only 5'1" so it won't be long. Well Jacob was born on my mom's birthday so they came over and we had pizza and cake that day.

Jacob has grown up so fast and he's so smart. He can read and tie his shoes and he loves to help mommy with Jonah when he's crying or with the other babies I keep. He's gonna make a good husband one day. I am so sad to think of him grown but I feel honored that God would allow me to be a mother. I try to raise my boys to know the Lord. We teach them what the Bible says about how we should live our lives. Jacob took it upon himself to give $2 of his birthday money for offering sunday and he requested prayer by raising his hand "Pray for more people to get saved". He's so sensitive and sweet. I can't imagine the day he's too embarrassed to hug me or tell me he loves me in front of others.

Suckers...sulking & suits

We were given this suit and it fit Jacob perfectly. He wore it to church Sunday and everyone complimented him. He's growing up so fast.

The other day Jacob wanted to play outside and I didn't want to move the van so he went out and sat in the driver seat and was pouting....had to capture the moment.

They all got blowpops....couldn't even finish them...too big.
