Backyard Family Fun BBQ!

Jacob said this is mommy. Awww. How cute.

Practicing circles.

That's a door. The kids just started a new obsession with Monster's Inc. So now he likes to draw doors. Its cute - and creepy.

Train tracks---he says.

Jacob and Lexi had fun with chalk while Heath grilled chicken. It was so fun to hang in the backyard as a family. Its FINALLY cooling down! Yay! Still over 80 degrees...but I'll take it!

Where do they come up with this stuff?!!

"Conversation" with Lexi today:

I say, "Alrighty princess, all done...all done...all done"

She repeats, "I'm dumb, I'm dumb, I'm dumb"

I corrected, "A-LLLLL Dooonnnne"

She repeats, "I'mmmmm Duuuuummmb"

Gees.

Jacob comes in after playing in the dirt today, sad about his broken binoculars:

I say, "Oh did your binoculars crack?"

He say, "Yes, mom (sobbing) they're on crack"

Later in the day he comes up to me and says,

"Mom, stop crying, I want to give you a big big hug. I luv you julie." Pats my back

Haha, it was so cute. I was actually chuckling at a text message and my sweet boy thought I was crying. Love it. And, it was funny cause he called me Julie. He's learning to be a good husband from my heath. What a great example. (love you hunny:)

I love kids.

1st Day of Preschool

Finally :D Here's some pictures from the first day of preschool! Jacob was so happy to be going to school! He loves his backpack that Heath picked out for him. Isn't the yellow so cute. He was having fun sitting by the door waiting to go to school. He's there for 2 and a half hours and I'm loving the time I have to be with just Lexi!

a funny boy

Jacob gets little owies and bumps all the time. Every kid does right?!

Yesterday at preschool...

Mrs. Heidi: "Oh, what happened to your eye Jacob?"

Jacob: "I have an ouch-ie"

Mrs. Heidi: "Ya, I see that. What happened Jacob?"

Jacob: "I have to watch out for walls"

love it. I was rolling. Where does this kids come up with this stuff!!???

Jacob: "Heaf, Where did your hair go?"

Heath: "I cut it Jacob"

Jacob: " WAIT!!!!! I found it! It fell onto your chest"

We Were totally Cracking up.

Preschool Preview

Stopping to pose for a picture :D He's carrying his binoculars we bought at a garage sale earlier that morning. He really wanted to bring them so he could properly preview the preschool. lol. I love how his mind works.

He looks like he's running---and he is!

Preschool started this past week on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 2.5 hours each day! Wohooo! Jacob loves the interaction with other kids and I love my shopping/cleaning time...and alone time with Lexi! These pictures are when we went to the Preview Day.

I'm having fun watching him learning new things. He's struggling a little..but what 3 year old wouldn't?! His b-day isn't until November. I took some pics on the 1st day...still trying to find those...hmmm.

Family Project

She's tries to climb on everything!

Big Helper!

Working in the garage with the whole fam! My mom was so nice to watch Lexi while Jacob, Heath, and I were at his Preschool Preview. Lexi went with my mom to a baptism ( hence the dress :). Afterwards we were hard at work in the garage trying to set up some shelved my dad gave us. Thanks Dad!!

Jacob loves to see how things work - so setting up shelves was a PERFECT activity for him. Good teacher - heath!

So peaceful

Jacob wanted to nap in my room. Alrighty. I was actually happy about it cause I really needed to go through his closet and clean out old clothes and stuff. My sweet baby boy is getting so big. Awww.
