Jacob turned 10!!!

I kind of had a hard time with Jacob turning 10.  I just don't know where time has gone.  He is growing up so fast.  I still can't believe what a MIRACLE he really is!!!  He had a wonderful 10 th birthday.  We had a family Birthday party at my parents farm on the day before.  His friend Trenton came and hung out to.  We had lots of food, cake, and many laughs.  Then that night he received a phone call from his great great Uncle Bob Novak.  It was very neat that he called and talk to Jacob and Jeremy for a very long time.  Jacob and I have never met him, so we think it is pretty neat that he called to tell Jacob Happy Birthday.  Jacob really enjoyed talking to him.  On Jacob's Birthday he had to go to school.  Joey, Justin and I surprised him with his favorite lunch from Rumors- Breaded Loin(no bun), cheeseballs and XL Ice Tea.  Then that afternoon Justin and I surprised him by walking with his class to the ice cream shop and buying everyone an Ice Cream Cone.  He somehow lucked out and Jeremy came home before Jacob had to go back to football practice.  He opened his presents up and then had football for 2 hours.  At the end of practice we surprised him and teammates with pizza!!  Even though Jacob can get on my nerves.  He helps me so much with the little ones. He always makes me laugh.  He loved his new Case IH bag, his new TV, new Table, and new cowboy boots from Jeremy and I .  He got many other nice presents.  I will have to say his favorite part was taking his "CASH" to the bank!!! 

Happy 10th Jacob!!!

FOOTBALL!!

Jacob is getting play Little Raider Football this year.  He has played 2 games.  His team won both games by ALOT!!  He is a lineman and he loves knoking th other guys out of the way.  Jacob always looks little compares to others but he never gets plowed down!!!  His first game was in Leon.  We were so glad that his Grandma Peggy, Aunt Tracy and Great Grandma Kathryn we able to come watch him. IT makes for ALOT of running for me.  Jacob loves playing so it will be okay.

Surprise Party!!!

My parents will be celebrating their 40th Anniversary on September 7.  I decided we needed to have a big party.  So Saturday we pulled it off.  We had a very good party for them.  We also had some family pictures taken!!  It was lots of fun!!

School 2014

Well School has started.  Jacob is in the 4th grade in Mt. Ayr.  His teacher is Mrs. Lynch.  She is such a good teacher for Jacob!!!  He is also playing tackle football this year.  So we have been busy going to practice 4 days a week.  He will play a game every Saturday until the middle of October!!! 

Joey is going to Mt. Ayr to preschool this year.  We put him in the afternoon class.  Joey is NOT a morning person.  So it works out better for us.  Then he gets to ride the bus home with Jacob.  He loves that.  he had a great first week.  he came home with painted pictures, crafts and told us about the bear hunt song. 

State Fair!!!

Jacob has been at the fair since the first Friday, but the rest of us went up Saturday evening.  Jeremy took Joey and Jacob to the sprint car races.  Jacob really liked them!!!  Justin and I just got to hang out together.  Justin and I had a very relaxing time.  We need what he wanted!!!!  So her are a few pictures.  Of course we only came home with 2 kids because Jacob stayed!!!!

Where did summer go!!!

It seems like Summer vacation just started!!!!  Jacob played baseball in the month June, Joey and Justin play T-ball.  Of course we went SWIMMING!!!   We spent the 4th of July going to Clearfield to fireworks.  Then we had the Ringgold County Fair.  Jacob showed his bucket calf named "JAKE", we spent lots of time walking, washing and spoiling the calf!!!  Jacob received Best overall Costume award.  Jacob also took swimming lesson, and went to football camp.  Then came August!!!  We had the Schlapia Family Reunion and we finally got the Ford Excursion running (after 4 months!!!!).   As you can tell we have no schedule here.  We just go with whatever is thrown at us and try to have fun....
