Since the last few posts have been about Jacob, I thought I'd post this funny picture of Kera. Before our trip to Ca, Dave's sister Carrie came to stay with us while she was recovering from surgery. While I was gone to take Jacob to his kindergarten testing, Kera was upstairs "taking a nap" on my bed, or so she pretended to be doing when Carrie went to check on her. I minute later, she decided to go through my make-up bag and of course she found my waterproof mascara to play with. This is where she thought it should go on her face.

With quite a bit of scrubbing and makeup remover, it finally came off. But not before I got a picture and a big laugh out of it. At least it wasn't the scissors this time!

Jacob's 6th Birthday Party

Like I said in my last post, Jacob is growing up. He just celebrated his 6th birthday on May 29th. He had some friends over on his birthday, and thank goodness all his friends could come on such short notice. We had just gotten back from California Monday night and I gave out the invitations the day before, on Wednesday. He had 5 friends over for his party, then on Sunday we had Dave's sister Carrie and her husband Travis over along with my dad, who was visiting for the week.
Jacob had a great birthday, and I am sad to see him get another year older, but also I look at all of the things that he's learned and accomplished this past year in school and how he is maturing, and I'm very proud of him.

Jacob's officially a 1st grader

We had Jacob's kindergarten graduation last Thursday. He has moved up from the kindergartener stage and will be going into 1st grade in August. I can't believe how time flies! He will be going to real school now, all day long. It will be strange having him gone all day, but I know he is ready for it. I told him last week after he turned 6 that he can't grow up anymore. He needs to stay little. He thought that was funny that I wouldn't want him to grow up. But he's still my baby, my firstborn. I love this little guy, even if he does have to get older and move on to new things. It's all part of life I guess.

This video was so funny to me. I love watching him and all his classmates "rock out" to the song "Rockin Robin". His teacher's name is Mrs. Robbins, hence the reason for singing this song.

Here is a slide show of our trip to California and to Disneyland that we took in May. I looked at the date on my last post and realized it's been a whole month since I've posted anything. I have a lot to catch up on! I'll be posting more pictures soon of Jacob's kindergarten graduation, tball, Jacob's 6th birthday, etc. So keep checking and I'll try to put up some new posts soon!

It's Official

I know I posted a few weeks back about our last ultrasound. We found out at our 16 week appt. at the doctor's office that we were probably having a boy. I went to the hospital today to do a detailed ultrasound where they measure and do tests and stuff and we are SURE that it's a boy. The baby looked really good and is measuring right where he's supposed to. So my due date is still the 23rd of September. (I'm 20 weeks along). Almost to the halfway mark! I swear in the past two weeks my stomach has doubled in size. That's what it feels like anyway. I was pleased to have a great ultrasound visit and that everything looks good. The sonographer said that he was such a great baby to scan and that he was so cute. Hmm, it was harder for me to see the "cuteness" in an ultrasound, but she sees these things all day everyday, so I'll take her word for it. If he looks anything like our other two, we'll be happy.

Kera the bike riding cowgirl
We decided to go for a walk today as a family since it was such good weather outside. As we were getting ready to go, Kera ran out to the garage on got on her bike. She asked if she could ride it on the walk. I said sure. She found her cowboy hat in the stroller and put it on. Out of the garage she rode as fast as she could with her cowboy hat yelling "yee haw!" It was hilarious. I had to get a picture of her in her get up.

Soccer Saturdays
Jacob started his spring soccer season in April. So we spend each Saturday at soccer games. Jacob made a soccer goal his first game of the season, and since then every team he's played against has been pretty competitive, and it's been harder for him to get another goal. He likes playing though, and his buddy Joseph (who's also in his kindergarten class and lives around the corner from him) is on the team with him. Jacob also started Tball this month. He's only played one game, and he has two friends from church on his team. So that makes it more fun. Jacob says he likes tball the best. I think it's because there aren't a bunch of kids fighting over the ball and he always gets to hit. Jacob isn't a real aggressive player. He'd rather do stuff where he doesn't have to fight to get a shot or a goal or whatever. He's happy playing the sports though, and he's even in karate. Next year we're scaling back and making him choose one sport! Too much of this will wear me out!
