I can’t believe my little snook turned 5 today…I’m a bit sad because it seems like the past 5 years have literally flown by, but also very happy that we’ve been blessed with such a sweet little boy. We LOVE our Jacob! Oh how he has worked to prolong the celebration…to the point that he now says, Mommy, can I have this pack of M&M’s…it’s my birthday. Really, he knows how to work the system! We had his birthday party at a gymnastics place on Saturday. It was a huge hit. We had 20 kids there and everyone had a blast. It was, of course, Star Wars themed, the kids played for an hour on all the equipment, we had pizza, and a cookie cake. Jacob said it was the best birthday party EVER!
Having fun after jumping into the pit of foam blocks:
Trying out the swing....he saw some older kids doing this when we walked in and he was determined!
Gwyn with her little crush Royce...she also likes Ben and pretty much the rest of the pictures she is by one of them!
The birthday crew...not the best picture, but this one had Annie in it, she kept running back and forth.
Loved the expression on Jacob's face, I just love that kid!
Annie chowing down, her hair is finally getting long enough for a little flip:
All 3 of them supervising the cutting of the birthday cake...Jacob requested the light sabers for his piece:
Trying out all the birthday presents. These were big hits, the Boba Fett helmet is being used non-stop. Jacob wanted to sleep in the Darth Vader costume, but we decided on just setting it on his night stand so he could get it first thing in the morning.
Jacob went with me to help set up and pick up the balloons before the party. He was a bit squished in the backseat:
The cookie cake was what Jacob wanted, and I thought it turned out great:
A video of Jacob jumping, Annie wanted to join him:
A video of Jacob running down the trampoline:
A video of Jacob swinging on the rope:
Gwyn jumping too (she now wants to have a gymnastics party too!):
Not to be outdone...Brian had to get in some flips as well. A friend who doesn't know Brian all that well asked if he was a former cheerleader, HAHAHAH!
The celebration has continued non-stop to include candles in his donuts for breakfast (he asked about them a few days ago and remembered that I did that for him on his 4th birthday):
He also requested candles in his pizza for lunch, when we had a few friends over to swim and help celebrate on his actual birthday. He got to go play at their house during Annie's nap and wore his Darth Vader costume over there. This was followed by his requested birthday dinner of “chicken he eats with sticks”, aka honey chicken from Pei Wei. Followed by candles in his actual homemade birthday cake of a death star (decorating done by Brian, all the prep work/making the cake/making the icing/clean up done by me!). The cake has imperial ti fighters, Jedi x wing fighters, surrounding the death star shooting out its death ray:
Oh yes, he wanted the entire death star, the maximum amount of black icing!
The night before his birthday I was telling Jacob and Gwyn the story about the night before Jacob was born and how we were so excited and then on the day of his birthday we went the hospital, got sent home, then went back to the hospital and he was born later that night. Jacob was loving the story and even said he remembered when he peed on the nurse after they took him to clean him up and warm him up. Gwyn by this point was so over all this Jacob-getting-all-the-attention-business, that she said, “I don’t like that story. I want a story with Anakin and Obi Wan and Princess Padma.” Poor little Gwyn, so sick of it that she is requesting star wars stories. She then started talking about what she wants to do for her birthday and asked when her party was going to be….that is what we’ll be doing next….talking all about her birthday party for the next 7 months, ha! We finished off our day with some sprinkler time outside:
Annie preferred to bring books outside to read instead of getting hit in the face with any water...she might melt:
Gwyn, Jacob and I went to her little friend Laura's birthday party at Noah's Ark on Sunday:
Lastly, this is a video I got of the kids a few days before Jacob’s birthday…Pete and Repeat strike again!
Funny things the kids said this week:
Jacob: Am I going to school on Monday? (He thought the exact day he turned 5 was the day he would go to Kindergarten)
Jacob: Why did you get me a balloon with a big S on it? (he was talking about the 5)
Jacob: I wish God would give us two more babies.
Annie: Bubba hit me. (yes, a complete sentence…I was in my bedroom and Annie walked in holding her back and said this. I go out into the living room to see Jacob holding his batman sword, I asked him if he poked her. He said yes, while shocked that Annie told on him. Into the trash went the batman sword.)
