Happy Bday Jakey!

Check out that cookie! For reals...these cookies were the size of baseballs. They had an oreo in the middle. I have become obsessed with other mommy blogs and I found this recipe, so I had a try it for the boys' hero, cousin Jacob's 14th bday. I think they were a hit! The boys adore Jakey and can't wait to visit him this summer. They think he lives in Alligator, Iowa. Too funny...

Guess what? We are taking a vacation...to IOWA!!!

I guess that's just how the George family rolls...vacation means Iowa to us. We planned a trip to St. Louis that we cancelled and another to Omaha that we were just to tired to plan. So when our family invited us to tropical Iowa, we decided to finally get out of the house! We loved our time with cousins and Gma and Gpa H. It was an awesome trip and actually a very relaxing one. We only had to be in the car for 3.5 hours, which is like a split second in our world! We swam, we ate, we relaxed, we fished, and we enjoyed the beautiful lake and weather!

Mommy, can you teach me how to pray?

My sweet baby C went to Vacation Bible School today. I have never been so proud. He has been having major social issues, so when he ran off with his crew today without looking back, I couldn't even believe it. Later today he asked me if I could teach him how to pray. Oh my goodness! Bless this boy. He said 'my teacher says I should pray every day, but I can't know how to'. I have never been so thrilled to teach Mr. Middle a very important lesson. Love this tenderheart!

Check out these STUDS!

The big boys are having a great time with their Daddy playing Tball. They are doing a really good job and not building sand castles in the dirt for the most part!

Mr. Student Council!

This boy...this little boy of mine is something. I have a feeling we will be saying that about him for a LONG time! A few weeks ago he 'organized a pajama party at his preschool. He had me convinced that it was pajama day. He also managed to convince his best buddy who convinced his parents. Well...it WASN"T pajama day, but because of his hard work, the teachers organized a preschool wide pajama day for the boys the next week. Little stinker!

And we have an ALMOST 1st grader!

Guess who is 6?

Our B man is turning 6 tomorrow...in fact I just told him the story of how 6 years ago today I was trying to eat a magic bar when my water broke...and the rest is history. B wanted a 'camping' party, so we did our best to make that happen. Instead of having a fire on our lawn with a bunch of 6 year old boys, we had a s'more cupcakes and grilled hotdogs. We also decorated bug jars and the kids all made homemade icecream in a bag. We were blessed by good weather and the kids had lots of fun!
