Busy Busy!!

Well school's out and I feel like we are busier than before. What is up with that?? I thought things were supposed to slow down over summer!! I'll stop complaining......it's a good busy!!

Jacob decided last week that it would be fun to give the dog and himself a haircut. I am assuming that the hair that was constantly getting in his eyes had bothered him one too many times. I'm sure he started with the dog and thought well Gee, that was easy! Let me see what I can do about my nagging hair problems. In the end all is well!! No harm done!! For those of you wondering where he got the scissors from and where I was.......I was on the phone (very important business!) and the kids scissors were in the kids craft box on their craft table. To be honest it never crossed my mind that he/they would cut anything besides paper. Crazy Me....WTH was I thinking?!?!


See Mom.....I can see!!!!

John started swim lessons this week. I have really dropped the ball on that one. This is his first time ever having them. He SO loves it though!! He thinks his swim instructors are the coolest guys EVER!! It's hysterical! I plan on signing him up for a couple more sessions this summer. I didn't sign Jacob up because the form stated that a parent had to get in the water with the 3 year olds. Low and behold that is not the case. I kind of irritated about it too. It would have been nice to have them both in a class this week. Oh Well.....I guess there is no point in stewing about it!!

John also started T-Ball this week!! I have high hopes that he will love it...only time will tell though!! The only sucky thing is Winchester City does not provide bats or helmets. Plus we got a call from the coach last night saying we need to bring money to his next practice for his trophy and t-shirt. The t-shirt is supposed to be included in the price I already paid. SERIOUSLY...what are we paying for?? I am thinking we will sign up for the county league next year. It's all about the kids having fun though......so I will try and remind myself of that every time I have to fork over more money!!

We leave for the beach in two weeks!!! WOO HOO!! I am beyond excited!!! I have even started packing!!

Our BIG BIG Boy!!!!!

John decided yesterday that it was time to take the training wheels off of Johnny's bike. I was extremely hesitant. I said he's only six....No Way......He's not ready. Boy was I wrong! His Dad and him worked on it again this evening and he is doing SO great!! I had to go inside because I started to cry. Why does it always seem like everything is always happening so fast. Oh how I wish I could stop time and enjoy every little moment for as long as possible! There really is nothing better than moments like these with family!!!

Starting off a little hesitant.....

Picking up speed.....

I think I've got the hang of this!!!.....

Look at that proud Daddy!!

Piece of Cake!!!!!

I'm sure the little one won't be too far behind!!! :(

At a loss.....

So yeah....I've got a lot going on today and ALL Jacob wants to talk about is Penises. Yup...you just read that right. He wants to know if my penis hurts, and if his Grandmom's penis hurts. That's what you get when you have boys. It starts from birth folks!

Jacob: Mommy. My penis hurts.

Mommy: Jacob PLEASE stop touching your penis.....BIG sigh.

HAPPY TGIF!!!! Hee Hee ;)

Fun with an Air Mattress!!!

Look at these two snuggle bugs!! Last night we got out the air mattress and let the boys sleep on it at the end of our bed. We rented Bedtime Stories off of PPV and snuggled in!! This was them at 8:45 this morning. I guess an air mattress + your parents room does a little body good!!!

It is simply amazing to me how they are able to sleep through the constant and EXTREMELY annoying shrill of John's alarm. He is one of those people that hits snooze for what seems like an endless amount of time. Can you see me cringing?

Birthday Pictures!!

Johnny had a great Birthday!! I still cannot believe that my little boy is 6. He seems so grown up all of the sudden too. Things are much more serious than they were a year ago! Not only did he turn 6 but he lost another tooth last week too. Just another thing to add to the list of things that seem to be making him age WAY too fast. Just yesterday I got him on the bus and then loaded Jacob and the cupcakes for Johnny's Birthday into the car and headed to the school. I found Mrs. H, the assistant teacher...whom I LOVE...and gave her the cupcakes. She asked if Johnny was in with the nurse. "No". I said. "He took the bus". She just busted out laughing at the fact that he had to take the bus even though I was driving to the school. I told her that it's over for me. I am now officially UNCOOL :( It's very sad too. I have already heard..... MOM. STOP. YOU ARE EMBARRASSING ME. Plus, I am NOT allowed to give him a hug or kiss at the bus stop. She did reassure me that he will come back...it might be many years from now, but he will realize how awesome and important Moms and Dads are!!!

On Saturday all of his Grandparents came over to wish him a Happy Birthday. Of coarse my camera died after one picture :( He had a great time though!! He did not want cake this year....he wanted to go out for ice cream. That was just fine with me :)...and all of his Grandparents!!

He got lucky and doesn't have any homework this week!! I think I might be more excited than him!! This meant that he was able to open his presents as soon as his Dad got home. It is all about Ben 10 right now!! I did my best to find the perfect gifts.....especially seeing as how I know nothing about Ben 10...except for the fact that it is a cartoon. He was very excited at all of the things I was able to find!! We then headed to the bowling ally for a couple of games and dinner! We all had a GREAT time!! Johnny even got a spare and a STRIKE on his third game.....my little man bowled a 93!! Pretty impressive!!!

He looks so old in this picture.....it scares me!

He finally figured out that the heavier the ball the more pins he would knock down!!

Jacob was his wild and crazy self. Three games of bowling is just WAY too much for a three year old. He was READY TO GO!!!

Mr. Jacob LOVES getting his picture taken!!

Isn't that the sweetest picture of John and Jacob!!

Johnny patiently awaiting his cupcake for dessert!

Johnny blowing out his 6 candles!! Look at the dog...He SO wanted a cupcake too!!

Johnny winding down with one of his new Ben 10 toys.....he is so tired by this point he is just staring into space!! I LOVE days like that!!
