The Wiggles are in town!!!!

When I heard The Wiggles were coming to town, I knew we'd be there. Jacob is still super obsessed with them and I do have to say...it's really cute to watch him sing and dance with the TV.

Of course we had to buy souvenirs and take their picture with the cardboard cut out.
Jacob has now confiscated Sarah's Dorthy the Dinosaur. He sleeps with it every night!

We settled into our seats and waited for the show to start....

Once the show started, Jacob was in Awe!!!

Sarah was pretty mesmerized too!
I mean, who wouldn't be with a show like this going on....



During Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Murrary asked for everyone to hold up their phones - Sarah thought that was pretty neat.

That broke the ice and the kids were finally up dancing the way I thought they would be.


I've tried unsuccessfully for days to upload the video of them dancing :-( I took it with the digital camera and need to covert the hd video...I'll keep trying and post it later.

Jacob's Birthday

We tried reserving the pool at Bender's Landing Estates for Jacob's Birthday, long story short - someone else beat us to it.  But because we weren't notified until a month out, I had to scurry to find a place INSIDE for his party.  An outside birthday party in July is miserable!

So I called around and Jumpin' Jak's was available.  I've never been here, but I've heard great things about it.  Their concept is "Take the stress out of your child's next birthday....we provide everything except the guests!"  If you know me you know I like to plan..plan every detail. And having no control kind of scared me!

Upon arrival, they took pictures of each kid in Safari gear.
Cooper
Reagan
Abby

Of course Jacob and Sarah would have nothing of it....

Once inside, there was a huge ball pit that all the kids loved!





And who doesn't love a tire swing?



The rest of the place was made up of many different levels of mazes that led to slides.


And of course there was food

Actually, there were two rooms of food

And my friend, Shannon made the cupcake cake...how cute is that?

Cindy looks SO HAPPY!

Lots of great friends and fun ~















This year, we hired a photographer to take pictures at Jacob's party. It was nice to be able to enjoy the party and not worry about missing a great shot.

Here are some of my favorite pictures that she took.















Happy Birthday Jacob!!
