Happy Birthday Jacob

I can't keep up this time of year.  We have 3 birthdays within one month.  We didn't plan that very well when we had these kids.   But our little baby Jacob is now 2 years old.  Not a baby anymore.  We had a pretty low key birthday but I think he had a good time.  Who wouldn't be happy with presents, cake and pretty much getting to do whatever you want all day long. 
Jacob is such a sweet little guy.  He's still not talking very much but what he does have to say, he says loudly.  He probably has to do that to get a word in around here.  He calls everyone Mommy, in a very loud voice, even if you are daddy or Christopher or Michael or Anne.  I've come to realize that Mommy is his word for me, but it is also his word for, "Hey you, pay attention to me!"  He is a picky eater, he runs everywhere, he loves to be outside and take baths.  His laugh is hilarious and he screams, "oggie" any time he sees a dog.  He loves to snuggle and give hugs.  He gets away with pretty much everything (typical youngest child....wink), but we love him tons.  Happy Birthday Jacob-bug.


Bottom left - Jacob totally got the "blow out your candles" thing. 
We didn't have to help at all.  He just blew a big puff and they were out.

Catch up and Annie's birthday

Here's some current pictures of my cuties and all the fun we've been having. 

Annie turned 4.  It was a fun day.  Zoo, presents, cake, Relief Society Broadcast (I let her go with me).   I love my only little girl,  and by little I mean it.  She still fits in some of her 2T clothes.  She'll love this petite thing when she gets older.  She is so imaginative and fun to play with.  She is pretty fiesty and somehow she gets away with not doing her chores half the time cause her brothers will do them for her, but we love her tons and are so glad she is in our family.


Annie's birthday fun

Day to day fun

Big 7 year old Christopher.  He's growing so fast.

Annie tells me this is her Tangled smile.  She kind of likes that movie.

I asked Jacob to give me his Flynn Ryder smile and this is what I got.


The boys like playing baseball.
