Jacob's 2nd Birthday - May 31, 2009

Ben's 6th Birthday - May 31, 2009

The Invitation

I got text messsages on this phone that Ben told me to tell us our next "mission"

Tease the Mailman (and The Farmer and Mrs. Beady)

They had to copy Ben acting all crazy when I looked away

then when I turned around with whichever face held up

they had to quick get down on all fours like a regular cow

Looking for Maddie & Her buddies (ping pong balls with chick faces in plastic eggs)

Throwing Maddie's buddies into their "play nest"

Squeezing some honey from the hive into the honey jar

They used the chick balls as golf balls for Izzy Springs golf

The potato head hole

The geotrax hole

The Science hole

The last hole, The Big Castle

Josey in Pig's Kitchen, they found the ingrediants

(including Pork and Beans)

using clues on paper rocks with x's, put the pan in the oven,

and pulled out Pig's Peppermint Pie

There were 6 games in the "Barn", you got candy point for each

game, then made your decorated your chicken hat, and picked your candies

from the Candy Tree

Puzzle Race

Lotto Stickers

Chicken Launch

Pin the tail on Pig

Veggie Patch Match

Pick a Duck

Chicken Hat

The Candy Tree

Tv to watch the chiken dance song

Finding the animals that rhyme with the word on their candy cards

Throwing the animals at Deg

Buying prizes on Gopher Hill

Ben with his Barn, barn napkins, pig tail spoons, and Pig Out! cups

The pig cake was under the barn

Josey's Field Day - May 29, 2009

Concentrating very hard on the egg race

Running in for the long jump

and the landing

Tug-o-war

With Timothy getting ready for the 3 legged race

He stopped running on the 5 yard dash when he saw his "girlfriend" walk by

Then just stood there and insepected a hole in the ground

Sack race

Totally exhausted (and begging to go home)

Ben's Field Day - May 28, 2009

Jacob was not cooperating

(I had to walk home, put him to sleep, put him back in the stroller, and walk back)

so I missed the 5 yard dash and "lame" jump roping but here's the rest...

Talking strategy with his teacher and friends

The "super really big jump" ... See that footprint way back behind him?
That's how far he actually jumped. He ran to the start, stopped, and jumped
but hey it was his favorite thing of the whole day

Darlin' lil Jacob - he threw himself down on the field, I think
if he would've stayed there a couple minutes he would've fallen asleep

Benny-in-a-sack

Jacob in his one moment of good behavior for the day

He loved it when they fell down (notice the purposely mismatched socks)

Ben's Vet's Office - May 19, 2009

Josey and I set up this vet's office for Ben for his birthday

We gave him a little food scale to use with it too

The x-ray machine, there are 4 x-rays for it including
one Josey made of a broken tail


Ben added this waiting room -
It has sections for land, flying, swimming, and ice animals

Jake's Tongue Boo Boo - May 17, 2009

You see now children, this is why we don't jump on beds.
