Jacob's preschool had a fundraiser for St Jude's Childrens Hospital this week. We were excited to take part in such a great cause. The kids raised money based on how many laps they completed.
At the "red light" they got stickers for each lap. I was the sticker mom, a job a lot easier than the moms that had to keep them on the course!
After all their hard work, they got to take a lemonade break.
Easter morning
Jacob sitting with the children's choir getting ready for his debut. Keep in mind this is the 5 year old choir:)
He even managed to sing a few of the words. He was very proud of himself with it was all over!
Getting a family picture on Easter is always a challenge. We don't get a chance until lunchtime and no telling what kind of mood everyone is in and what has already has been spilled on the outfit! This year was a little better than last year. Next year will be interesting!
By his 4th Egg Hunt Jacob had this mastered. Maggie checks on Jacob.We had a great Easter. Our first Easter Sunday @ LFBC was a great one! Jacob really enjoyed everything this year. We were excited to be able to celebrate with family for the first time in years.
Can you tell I love my cousin Nathan?
Finally he gets to eat one of his bunnies!
Egg Hunt with cousins 
Coloring Easter eggs was a hit this year!
Jacob at the church Easter egg hunt
He thought he was such a big guy and wanted to sit on "the floor."
Getting a fishing lesson from Stacey. He said, "I'll just watch." Probably a good idea for everyone!
Why would easter egg cupcakes and a preschool Easter party make me feel like a "real" mom?
For some reason, Jacob's preschool party made me feel very much like a mom! This is definitely a new phase of life. Maybe that was it....I knew years and years of cupcakes were in my future.
Not St Patrick's Day but a cute before church picture on Sunday
Jacob got a kick out of the Leprechaun (sp?) milk. He drank a few sips and said, "Momma, this tastes just like my white milk!"
Even better with shamrock cookies!
We were stuck at home yesterday because of Inman's car being in the shop but it was St Patrick's day anyway! We were in green, had green snacks and Jacob had his first corned beef St Patty's dinner. He ate all of the beef, carrots and cabbage!
A couple of funny Jacobisms for the last couple of days:
When eating mashed potatoes with our St Patty's meal, he said he liked the sweet potatoes better than these and asked, "so tomorrow could it be orange day?"
We have been going over a few Bible stories in Jacob's new Bible for toddlers. He calls Moses, "Mosef" and Joseph "Jovis." For some reason everytime we turn to the picture of Adam & Eve in the garden, he insists Adam's name is "Mack."
Last night Jacob said he glad Momma and Daddy and God kept him safe. He said, "I have got to go see God, I haven't seen him in weeks!"
I know there are more but those really got me tickled! I will have to refer to the blog entries when I sit down and write these down in his journal!
What a big guy! Jacob has been at his new school for 2 weeks (he goes on Tuesday and Thursdays). We have already had "farmer day" "green day" and are signed up for a trike a thon. We have been very pleased and he seems to really enjoy his new school and teachers.
Momma @ 26 weeks
Jacob has enjoyed talking to Logan.
These pictures are especially for my cousin Liann. I told you I was bigger than you! (she is several weeks ahead of me)
Friday we had a great treat. We were able to spend time with David, Heather, Caleb and Joshua at the Atl aquarium.
It was an extra special day because it was the one year anniversary of Caleb's gotcha day, the day he was officially David and Heather's. We were thrilled to share in this milestone with them. What a year!
Caleb never ended up in the water but loved the touch pools!
Yes, I was there. I am just usually behind the camera. Joshua was also there but was busy being an angel baby and slept the entire time! I will never believe Heather again if she says he is fussy:)
Otherwise, we are doing well and getting a little more settled. This is the 5th time I have tried to post on the blog. We have had LOTS of internet and cable set backs. We finally have cable after 2 weeks! And hopefully our internet woes are almost over. A doctor's appt yesterday brought the news that Logan is head down, which is the direction we want him just not the direction he was facing even a few days ago. Now, if he will just stay put! Jacob is getting more and more curious about his brother and includes him in lots of his conversations. Today he asked when would we get him a carseat. I am glad he is so practical and safety conscious:)
Jacob's 1st breakfast in bed on his 3rd b-day
Someone asked "Do you want a picture of Jacob by himself in front of his cake?" No, we have been waiting to be with our cousins! Check out Nathan with his arm around Jacob!
This is Jacob just after he almost ran over his Great Grandmother with his new car. Too bad the video didn't show how funny it was (since everyone was OK) and we could have won $$$ for his college education on America's funniest video!
Jacob chose pizza for his b-day lunch. Good, I know he is not scarred by how much pizza he has had in the last 2 weeks when I was cooking very little!
