Happy Birthday Jacob!

It's already that time of year again!!  Jacob will be turning 5 on Saturday!!  The years are really flying by.  Kindergarten this year, wow!  Jacob has always been our comic relief and practical voice in the house.  He has really taken a liking to music and drama with a great imagination! 

Here are some pictures from the past year...

Bowling at his 4 year old birthday party.

Showing us his hurt finger...  I think?

A flare for drama and dance.

Just Jacob.

Lovin' his brother

Dancing the night away.

Jammin'

Cute.

A normal day

Posing for a picture.... (I might be guilty of watching too much Americas Next Top Model.)

Rockin' Santa

First role in a play.  He was the Inn keeper.

Jacob with his acoustic guitar. A more laid back day of music. We have since got a strap and pick.. loving it!

A full on jam session, complete with a Michael Jackson glove and microphone.

Christmas

We have been very busy over Christmas.  We celebrated Christmas 3 times and had 2 more family gatherings.  Jacob and Evan received many presents, thank you to everyone!  They have been very busy testing everything out.  Here are a couple pictures from the last couple weeks.

 Cars rescue vehicles

The boys are addicted to Nate's Buck Hunter game on Wii.

Jam session.  Notice the Michael Jackson glove on his left hand. 

Playing band with all the new instruments and microphone.  All they need is a stage!

Chistmas Play

Jacob was in his first Christmas Play that involved speaking.  I was so proud of  him.  The whole class did great and it was very cute!  Here are some pictures of my little Innkeeper.  His lines were.... 

"No, there are no more rooms.  But you may rest in the stable in the back if you wish." 

I loved seeing his face and how proud of himself he was.

 After the play we took a picture of the Jacob by his prop.

Snow Globe

I found Evan looking at a snow globe this morning.  It was so cute, he spent at least fifteen minutes shaking it and then gazing at it.  Makes me wonder what was going through his mind at the time.

Christmas Rock Concert

Jacob came out dressed up like this the other day.  He said he was getting ready for the Christmas Rock Concert.  He was dressed as a Rock n Roll Santa.

Annual American Family Christmas Breakfast

The same characters were at American Family this year as years past.  Reindeer, Penguin, Snowman, Clifford, and Santa.  But this year we also met Maynard from the Mallards. (Bucky never showed up.)  Evan was super shy and wouldn't go near anyone so our pictures consist of Jacob hugging all the characters. Here are two of them.

Happy Anniversary!!

Happy Anniversary to my dear parents!! Don't forget to take some time for yourselves today. I am very thankful to have such a great example of a loving marriage in my life!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Children's Museum

Here are some pictures from our visit to the Children's Museum a couple weeks ago.

Happy Halloween!

We tried to have the boys carve a pumpkin this year but they were not too into the slimy mushy stuff.  So much for having boys!  They much prefer to paint their pumpkins.
