Jacob turns 5!

 Wow! I can not believe my baby is 5! It seems like yesterday that he was born. We had his birthday party before we left OK so he could have fun with his friends one last time. We had the party at Bouncin Craze, which was a big hit! Before everyone arrived, we took the opportunity to take a few family pictures in the big birthday chair! We all had a great time and it was good to visit with some friends before we left.




 Maddie wasn't quite big enough to bounce, but she loved this thing that blew air in her face.
 Jacob was so animated when he opened his presents! He was so happy for each one he got.
 Everyone wanted to help unwrap the gifts!

 Everyone singing to Jacob.
 He really wanted a Scooby Doo birthday but there weren't any cakes, so he opted for Angry Birds instead!

 Jacob and his sweet friend Kate.
Miss Priss got into everything!

Fini Flight

 Jonathan had his final flight on the AWACS on June 15th. We got to go and see him land and then soak him with water when he got off the plane. It was a lot of fun and Jacob LOVED squirting his dad with the big soaker!!
 Waiting patiently on Daddy to get off the plane!
 ATTACK!! Jonathan got soaked!!
 Jacob wouldn't stop spraying Jonathan!



 Goodbye Tinker AFB! We will miss Oklahoma but are looking forward to Mississippi!!


The Big 30!

 Wow, I can't believe that I'm now 30! When I was younger, 30 seemed so OLD and now it's just another number with so many fun things going on! We had promised Jacob a trip to Celebration Station before we moved and so we decided to go for my birthday! It was fun doing kid things for my birthday. Jacob loved the go karts and had a lot of fun!!

 We also played mini golf where Jonathan beat us all!
 Maddie wanted in on the fun!
 Someone wanted to go on the go karts and couldn't :(.

 It was a great birthday and I'm so thankful for my little family helping me celebrate it!

Family Pictures

 We went to Target and got our pictures made for Maddie's 1st birthday. Here are my favorite ones from the day. They turned out really good considering it was in the middle of nap time!






 







Adventures

 After living in Oklahoma for three years, I am not sure why we finally visited White Water Bay and Frontier City. These are two amusement parks here in Oklahoma. We decided to get season passes for the time we have left here and visit as much as possible. White Water Bay has tons of slides, pools and fun things to do with water. Jacob is in heaven when we go there. His favorite things are the wave pool, the lazy river and jumping off the cliff (my son has no fear of water). He will do the big slides as well. Maddie loves it there too. She loves to be in the water and thinks she doesn't need help from Mommie! They have a kiddie area where the water isn't deep and she can walk around by herself without one of us holding her just following her! We have really enjoyed going every weekend and have a few more weekends to enjoy it!

 Frontier City is the amusement park that has tons of rides. The first time we went, Jonathan and Jacob waited in line for two hours to ride the ride and so we left after that because Maddie was worn out from waiting (me as well!). But we've gone back and enjoyed some of the rides. Jacob is a little unsure of the big roller coasters (he gets it from his momma!). But he did the kid swings and the tea cups. We can't wait to go back again and have some fun!!
