Catching Up Chapter 3: Jacob turns Six!

Jacob's 6th birthday was June 21st... We seems to be on an every-other-year pattern for parties... Last year was the great Bliss Water Park party, with pool & sprinkler & slip-n-slide, so this year was a "just family" year. It also turned out to be a "one-present" year, because it was such a BIG present! :) We sent him on a scavenger hunt...

and the clues eventually took him to the present...

After some more practice rides, we let Jacob choose where to go for supper, and he picked Gattitown. I was so glad he picked it -- I was wishing I had gone there for MY birthday, but didn't get to! :) Both the boys rode the (lovely pink) car... love those faces!

And Jacob took a ride on the bumper cars:

He also did great at the skee-ball & the whack-a-mole games. It was very fun for everyone!

(And that concludes our catching up adventure! I think we're up-to-date. :))

Catching Up Chapter 2: Fun Moments

Here are a few fun moments from January of this year:

Ring-around-the-rosie:

Jeremiah playing along to Rowlf the Dog's "Halfway Down the Stairs"...Listen for Jeremiah's enthusiastic "hallelujah!" part-way through. heehee.

And, one rare quiet moment that I caught. Check out those faces! (Jacob's eyebrows, especially!! Yikes!)

Catching Up Chapter 1: Jeremiah Turns Two!

Jeremiah's 2nd birthday was April 1st... He opened some presents:

And played:

He did great at blowing out the candles:

And eating cake:

The present that Jacob picked out for Jeremiah (with Nana's help) was this microphone... which Jacob also enjoyed a lot:

I remember thinking "I can't believe he's TWO!?!?!" ...and now I'm still thinking, "I can't believe he's TWO & a HALF!!" :) Arrrrgh...

Playing at the Park

Jacob has some kickin' new monkey skills:

And Jeremiah was learning about his shadow:

All very fun. :)
