Jakob's Birthday

Jakob turned seven this year yes seven!!! I can't even believe how big he's getting!!! I really can't believe that I've been a mom for SEVEN years!!! Anyway his birthday was very fun! Jakob had two birthday parties for him(lucky dog) one for family and one for friends. Here is a pic of him opening up a present.

Thanks to Tara Rew we were able to have this huge blow up water slide in the back yard!!! It was obviously the main attraction. The boys went crazy!!

Jakob got a new water gun from one of his friends so they had a huge water gun fight. Jakob was very good at making sure that everyone had a turn with his new gun that squirted RED water.
I got some little kids crafts for the kids to do they thought it was pretty cool although it was kinda windy so all the little stickers kept flying away and i had to keep picking them up. It was worth it though.
They loved the cupcakes!!
We ended up haveing 12 kids 11 boys and one lonely little girl who had a blast anyway. It was crazy haveing soooo many kids but it was a lot of fun and Jakob loved it so that's all that mattered to me!!!

June

June was a very eventful month. My sister Tessa moved back for the summer, my baby sister Erikka or as I like to call her Lenard graduated and my little niece Kloee Belle got blessed not to mention Jakob's birthday which will be my next blog.



Most of these pictures were taken at the luncheon after the blessing. We had all the cousins together so we had to get a picture of all of them and i thought it would be a cute idea to get them all laying down, and well the one of Zakry just makes me smile!! Adorable!

Resolve to blog!

I just really love looking at everyone's blog and what they're up too and realized that everyone else prolly feels the same way. So I have resolved to be a better blogger and let everyone out there know what we're up too.

Sinco De Mayo

Sorry its late but we had so much fun I can't not post it. We have Sinco de Mayo every year with my family and every year gets a little bit better then the last. We had dinner with lots of delicious food, then did a pinata for the kids, and even though it started raining Aunt Lizzy still taught us all a dance. It was a good time. I have so many pictures i can't hardly narrow it down so I'll try to do just a few. Mikah triied winking at the camera for his picture with Grandma Jiggy. . . too cute!!!

My brother-in-law Darren had to show off his duds with his new fancy shoes.






All the kids couldn't wait to hit the pinata. The one of Jakob is my best shot of my three boys they got kinda blurry because they were moving so much.












Zakry being the little sugarbug that he is. . .couldn't get enough of the candy!!!

School Music Program

Jakob has to be the cutest kid in school!! He had his spring music program the other night and i was so excited he did so good!! I forgot to charge the camcorder so i had to settle for a couple clips on my camera. It"s really hard to see the kids but you can hear them pretty good! Jakob is the smallest first grader of all the classes and he knows how to use that to his advantage too!! The pictures are so bad because they had the stage so dark and he was too far away for a flash. I was a little disappointed but that's ok.

He sang 5 songs which was nice that they kept it short. I think his favorite song was Mr. Golden Sun. Oh sorry that the video is sideways I don't know how to flip it. I hope you enjoy the little video i wish I could show you all more .

Baby Kloee Belle!!

My little sister had her baby last week so I took the boys and went for a quick overnight trip to be there for her!! We left Wednesday afternoon so the boys slept on the way up (nice right?). We thought for sure she would have had the baby or was close when we got there but she didn't end up having her until like 1:30 am. Poor girl, my sister was a trooper that's a long time to be in labor!! It was nice although we didn't get to see her very much!! The boys just love Kloee and still ask when we're going to go see Tessa's new baby again. It was a fun trip and I'm glad I was able to go!! Here are some cute pictures of the boys proudly holding thier new cousin!!!!CHEESERS!

Spiderman mask

It was so funny!! This morning I was watching Mikah and Zakry play and Zakry did this so I made him do it again on camera it isn't as good but just as cute!!
