The perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon!

Flashback Friday

I just couldn't resist posting some pictures of our cutie patootie from back in July 2008!

Binoculars

We spent a very rainy holiday weekend at the lake for the 4th of July. It was so fun, but we were sad that we didn't get to truly enjoy the outdoors because of the weather. Since we were inside most of the weekend, we had to be creative with entertaining our little guy. Luckily, he found Grandaddy's binoculars sitting around and they became his new favorite toy!

All smiles!!

Cookie Time!!

Jacob and I spent the rainy afternoon baking my super-secret, super- special chocolate chip cookies for some friends. We had such a great time, I just had to share! Jacob loved helping me stir the ingredients and pour in the chocolate chips. The hardest part, of course, was waiting for our cookies to come out of the oven!!

Waiting patiently

The finished product! Delish!

Big Red Bucket

Several weeks ago, we purchased this big red bucket to store all of Jacob's balls. Being a typical boy, he has beach balls, soccer balls, basketballs, and various other balls that seem to always be in the way. We had to buy something to keep them all together and tidy in our living room. Little did we know that the bucket itself would become such a treasured plaything and Jacob just loves to empty it and climb inside!

Dallas Children's Museum

We spent a fun morning at the museum to celebrate Jacob's friend Anna's third birthday. He was so excited about the party all morning, and it didn't disappoint! During the party, we got to spend time in three areas of the Children's Museum:

The Farm

The Town

(Jacob spent most of his time in the Fire truck, of course!)

The Backyard

We had such a wonderful time and hope to be able to get back to the museum for more exploring soon!
