My Helper

One thing Jacob loves to do is help with projects. Sometimes he wants to help a little too much, but I would rather it be this way than the other.

We painted two bathrooms and the master bedroom. Jacob was in charge of taking the plates off. 

He then helped me build a bookcase for my classroom & organize the chairs.

All that work deserves a pizza lunch. This boy can eat some pizza!!

A play date with the cousins. 

Trot got a new pet Turtle, Sheldon. He is pretty cute. 

Football is back in full swing. Jacob has been the quarterback most practices. We'll see what the season holds. 

Birthdays and Father's Day - Part II

We had a fun weekend in Chicago with the family. Jacob has been playing air hockey like it's his job. 

Trev makes this outfit look good. 

A Boy in Love

Jacob is in love with his 4 wheeler. I think he rode it for almost a solid hour before stopping. That was of course after we went over the list of about 50 rules....parents are no fun!!!!

Butterflies, Basketball, & Birthday

What more can a boy ask for? Our butterflies came out & we released all of them. Jacob noticed a butterfly in a parking lot today and said, "That could be one of mine!" 

Nana and Bumpa made a huge purchase  and it made Jacob one happy boy. Bumpa and Jacob had many hours of bonding time while putting it together. 

Let the fun begin. 

Jacob had his party at an indoor trampoline place. The kids all had a great time & I had nothing to clean up afterwards!!!

You know your child is growing up when he gets a 4 wheeler. He is over the top excited. 

A water gun fight to top it all off.

Father's Day

We had a nice day the three of us. Lunch was at Shapiro's and then we headed to the zoo and NCAA museum. 

A Lot of "Stuff"

We've been enjoying summer. Jacob is always busy doing something.

Dad's new employees.

Each week, Jamie & I try to get the kids together to play. We went to Skyzone this week. 

The ladies sat, chatted, & watched the kids jump. 

The Cubs had their last game on Tuesday. 

DQ celebration. 

A New Employee

Apparently Jacob thinks Wrigs needs a job.

Jacob was in desperate need of a haircut. We finally got one today.
