Jack turns 3!

Today we celebrated with Jack for this 3rd birthday at his "Barnyard Birhday Bash"' in his backyard at his house.  I am not sure who was more excited about the animals....the kids or the adults! ;)

Sarah petting the little piggies.

Sweet fluffy bunnies.

Yes! I real live pony!! This smile lasted until the horse started to move for the walk around the yard....scared Sarah to death!! She was not having it...but she did later pet the horse.

Happy Birthday Jack!!

Whew...what a weekend!! Now time to get ready for Leah who will be here in three days!!! WOOHOO!!

Kyleigh turns 4!

Kyleigh had her 4th birthday party today at the Young Chef's Academy.  It was so stinkin' cute!  The kids made their own pizza's and were able to enjoy them after they were baked right there in the kitchen.

Sarah and Ethan shared a table.

Once she warmed up to the party, Sarah had a great time.

Happy Birthday Ky!

DSHS Homecoming

Sarah and I headed to the DSHS football game tonight...again she was crazy excited about Yellow Jacket football and we actually had good weather!  Daddy was playing golf, so we went ahead without him and he joined us later.

Sarah getting her cotton candy on!

How cute are these two!?!?  Oliver is going to be a Yellow Jacket for Halloween...so he was getting ready to play the part.

Baby Leah will be here FIVE days!! I can hardly believe it's almost time to meet our baby girl...getting super excited!!

Bradley Turns 1!

"Baby" Bradley turned one today!!  We celebrated with him at his house for his Mickey Mouse birthday party.

Birthday boy waiting on his cake!

I tried getting a pic of these two together....but they were constantly on the move! ;)

LSU 35 v Auburn 21

This summer sometime, Andy planned for Chrisie, Faron and Smokey to come down to the LSU v Auburn game- since he had an extra ticket and all with me not being able to go. :(  I eventually got over the fact that I wouldn't be able to participate and just enjoyed the fact that we would have company!

 

Andy met everyone Friday afternoon in NOLA and brought them back up to our house.

The boys...Smokey, Faron and Andy all looking lovely in their gold for the "Gold Game"

Chrisie and Faron...this makes their third LSU football game...I think they secretly are fans!

And while everyone else was tailgating and at the game, Sarah, mom and I did some shopping during the day and then headed back to mom's house to watch the game with her.  While we were there, we decided to FaceTime Mike since he and Jeff had a birthday coming up during the week.  What was just going to be a quick hello, ended up with us having Mike "watch" the first half of the game with us! 

Getting Mike set up to watch the game....

And with a little manipulating of cords and other props by Jeff, we were able to let him watch the game and talk to him at the same time.  It almost felt like he was really sitting in the living room with us. Haha!

The day turned out to be a wet one!  The game goers were drenched in rain but had a great time tailgating and going to the game.  Sarah and I headed home for the second half and waited for everyone to get home so we could get our Aunt Chrisie and Uncle Faron time in before they left.  It was a great fun weekend...but to short of a visit of course!

Baby Gear

Seeing as how Leah will be here in two weeks...ummm we need to get some stuff ready for her- like a car set! They kind of require it!  Poor Andy had to get up in the attic in this heat and start getting some of our baby gear down to get ready for the arrival of Leah!!  And of course in that process...Sarah has thoroughly enjoyed playing all of HER old baby stuff! haha!

I think we've outgrown this a few years ago.

And since we don't have a "real" baby now, these babies will have to do!

Chef Sarah

I have tried really hard to get in some fruits and veggies in regularly in my diet since I've been pregnant with Leah.  So every Sunday, Sarah helps me make my salads for the week.  She loves being the big helper in the kitchen.  And every morning she asks if I packed our salad in my lunchbox..."Because mommy, you have to eat ;
'healfy' for Leah!" and then in the afternoon she asks if I ate the salad she made for me and Leah.  She's really on top of things this kid!

My salad maker...Chef Sarah!

LSU 45 v KENT ST 13

Sarah and I are again home alone on a football Saturday, but now that Grandma is home, we are able to have a big girls day on game day!  What started out as just a visit to Grandma's ended up with us just staying there for the day.

Sarah and Grandma playing with stamps, while I got to go to the grocery store all by myself!! Woohoo!!

Our new fun headbands.

Silly pic!

Time to make some cookies.

And a little licking of the beaters.

We really had a great time at Grandmas....Sarah and I are living up our just us girls days these last few Saturdays.

Friday Night Lights!

Well tonight was the home opener of DSHS football. Sarah has really turned into a football fan- guess she really doesn't have a choice at our house.  So we got her a new yellow jacket t-shirt for football season and a new visor.  We were geared up and ready to go.....mother nature however, had other plans!  Rain, rain and more rain!!  We waited out the lightning and rain in the gym with Andy (ya know one of those perks of being a teacher...you get to hang out in the gym during a rain storm ;)  Andy had enough of the "waiting it out" and headed home.  Sarah was to excited about "Yellow Jacket Football" that she wasn't going to leave.  So we stayed.

Waiting out the rain!

At the Car Wash...

Sarah and Daddy have been doing lots of things together lately while momma's been laid up on the couch - hot, tired and with swollen feet!  HA!  She was a big helper for daddy today cleaning his "funny truck" for work.

Leah...

I realized a few days ago that I have never offically put the new baby's name on the blog.  So here it is....

Leah Danielle Jacobsen
Leah....just because all three of us agreed on it
Danielle after my late father- Daniel
And Jacobsen, because well, Andy wouldn't go for Dumestre. ;)

36 weeks!

Only a few more weeks! Can't wait to meet Leah!

Nicholls Homecoming...

Jeff, my brother, the ultimate college student can now add - Homecoming nominee to his college career activities!  He was nominated by the Nicholls Veteran's Association. 

Yep! That's Jeff on the left in the green shirt!

Little bit better pic.

Although we had our bags packed and were ready to head south for the homecoming game at Nicholls in a few weeks, Jeff fell short of making the court.  Makes no difference to us, we still love him!

LSU 56 vs UAB 17

Well, it has begun....a football season of tailgating without me.  I, for some reason, have had a really hard time with this...I guess when almost every Saturday during the fall since you were about eight years old is spent on LSU's beautiful campus, you kind of feel lost when you can get out there on game day.  Or at least that's how I feel.  There is is just no way for me to be out there now...I am a die hard fan, that's for sure, but with heat in the 90s and this momma 35 weeks pregnant - keeping the momma and baby safe will always come before football...I know! Even for me!

Andy was sweet enough to send me a pic from tailgate...and come to find out, he was missing me as much I was missing him and the tailgate.

Due to the fact that Sarah and I would be home by ourselves all day Saturday, it gave us an opportunity to have a play date with some of Sarah's friends.  It really was nice having a girls day with just Sarah and mommy and we will get a few more before all of get our world turned upside down with our new little family member.  We met the girls at Pretend Play Party and then went to Mr. Gatti's for a pizza buffet lunch.  Sarah had so much fun...and so did I. 

These four have been together since the baby room at daycare.  Sarah, Kalli, Emeri and Addalyn.

The girls sat at their own table for lunch...told us they didn't have room for the mommies! HA! 

Emeri, Sarah and Addalyn "riding" the roller coaster.

After our fun outing, we headed home to get some rest and watch the LSU game.  I tried to get Sarah to rest with me....but mostly, I fell asleep and she played in the living room.

 

 

Mommy and Sarah

Sarah set up her dolls so they could watch the game with her.

We had a great day just us girls...but we did miss Andy!  We stayed up until he got home and then of course Sarah was wired so we had a long night.  Here's to a football season with just us girls!
