Learning to shoot

Uncle T bought Jacob a BB gun before Christmas. Since Uncle T was gone for Christmas, he let Jacob open it early! He was thrilled! Here are a couple of pics of Ryan teaching Jacob to aim at a box in the backyard. He is pretty good with it. We have taken it with us to Ryan's grandparent's home where it is more open than where we live. I wish it would teach him some patience!

It's Gingie!

Before Christmas, Jacob came home with a blank Gingerbread Man to decorate for a game at school where they had to guess who decorated which one. Can you guess which one is his? Ryan spent about 90% more time on it than Jacob!

Jacob and his pup

Jacob loves his Taylor! Here is a pic of the two of them together while Taylor is waiting to see the vet.

Jacob's new cast

Jacob broke his arm the day before Thanksgiving! We were playing soccer in the back yard and he was walking backwards. Neither Ryan or I saw this happen, but he says that he feel on his arm. Needless to say, he was in excruciating pain. We took him to the ER and it was confirmed that it was broken. Because it was Thanksgiving weekend, we were not able to get a cast on it until the next Monday.

He choose maroon for his Aggies! The cast came off on Dec. 22nd, right before Christmas!

The funny things Jacob says!

We were at my husband's grandparent's home on December 23rd to visit for the holidays. We didn't want her to have to cook a big meal (as we knew she would), so we stopped and picked up bbq. My mother-in-law made a pecan pie for dessert. Jacob had a slice and asked, "Mimi is this yellow stuff in the pie snot?" He was quite serious!

One of Jacob's uncles has been dating lately. On New Year's Eve, he asked where his Uncle T was, since he wasn't at my in-laws home while we were there. We told him that he was out on a date with his new girlfriend. Jacob said, "Ewww, I hope he doesn't like her too much, because then he might want to kiss her!"

War Machine

 
Here is a picture that I got of Jacob last night before we went out trick or treating! He wanted to be War Machine from Iron Man. No one knew who he was, but he didn't hesitate to tell them! We went to his Mimi's house to trick or treat there first. Then we went to a dozen or so homes in their neighborhood, then back to our home. Like past Halloween's, Jacob wants to visit a few homes, then he is finished and is ready to check out his goodies! This year, his favorite candy was Kit Kat.

Our first watermelon

 
 
Jacob and I picked a watermelon from our garden today. It weighed in at 25.2 lbs. We cut it up and it was a light shade of pink with a really thick rind. It wasn't ready yet!
