My attempt at a year in one post

A lot has happened in a year.  Since my last post, I was barely pregnant (not sure if anyone is barely pregnant.  You either are or you're not).  I guess my point is, the 2 kids you usually see in my posts are now a year older and very much enjoying the new sister, who is now 6 months.

1 token preggo pic.  I have many more but there is already a lot of pics for one post.

A lot of cousin. There would probable be no water left in there if the rest of the cousins joined in

Kenna B'day invitation to her 4th birthday.

Another Christmas in Arizona.  My sister and I had no idea we got the same jammies for our kids. So fun we needed a pic.

A fun cheap activity. Thank you Simi Deals. Bruised ankles for Jake.

Another Simi Deal

And another...There is also another one Hip Hop class but I only have video.

Annual egg dyeing with Mimi.

Jake playing basketball.  He's the blonde with the grey shoes.

Just enjoying an evening at the park when a lady showed up with her horse and offered rides to the kids.

Thank goodness it's May 2nd!!

This little girl made me sick for 35 looong weeks.  It was a very happy day when she was born.  I think I only threw up 3 times in the delivery room.

Mother's Day and my 3 amazing reasons I get to celebrate this day!

For Jacob's 6th Birthday we went to Lego Land.  The kids had a great time!

Tony Hawk was in line behind us for this ride.  Since it's only 2 people per plane, we needed two planes.  There was only one plane available when we got to the front of the line so we let Tony and his daughter go ahead of us.  When he got off the ride, we asked Jake if he wanted to go get a picture with Tony Hawk, Jake said no because he wanted to go on the ride.  There was only about 6 people in line so it wouldn't really have been a pain to stand in line again.  Maybe for a newly 6 year old it would have been.  Jacob was even wearing a Tony Hawk shirt.  Oh well opportunity lost.

After Lego Land, we made a surprise visit to Sea World to meet up with a few cousins

1st day of Kindergarten

The first day of school was a day that we were regretting.  We had a great summer and we were not ready for it to be over.  He wanted to know why mommies can't go to school with their kids.  He wanted me to sign my name in the office (volunteer). 

 

I was so relieved to see this smile when I picked him up from school.  

I love you Jacob and hope you have a great school year!  I also hope our first day of school next year is less emotional for you.  I will still probably be silently emotional.
