Birthdays and boxes

What a weekend. Last Friday night Katie flew in for Jacob's birthday. (sidenote: It was fun having Katie here for part of Mother's day. She gave me a necklace that says mom and the O is a heart. When I got it I said " I feel like a real mom now!" She replied "Uh you already are a real mom" True, but I didn't have any mom stuff. Guess working with kids for so long before I had my own made me look forward to the cheesy mom crafts from VBS-mugs, keychains, foam frames....) It was a short trip and she flew out Sunday morning. I realized later I have no pictures of her other than on my phone. Terrible I know. At Jacob's party all the big kids were in the game room playing air hockey and Wii so they only time I really saw them was for cupcakes and opening presents. We had a great time with all the family and friends that came. Thanks everyone!

What is this???

It's growing one me

My first sugar rush!

Jacob and Jaxs

One of Jacob's gifts was a little camping chair from Darrell and GayLynn Bonjour. Jacob loves it. The other night we had the TV on to dancing with the stars. First he danced around then decided to hang out in the chair and watch the show. He was fascinated. Note the cup holder also makes a great remote holder
After dancing with the stars Brancent decided sleding around the house would be a good idea. Dads! He took a corner to fast and dumped Jacob out on his head. Jacob recovered quickly and they were back at it for another 20 minutes.

Finish off the evening with a Blueberry Muffin and that's one good evening!

As always more pictures are posted at www.lyonsfamilyadventures.shutterfly.com. I have finally got Katie's bday pics there-thanks to Brancent for taking them. I'll post some of her b-day pics on the blog later next week.
