Diary of a Jacob: Memorial Day F-U-N

On Monday, the college friends crew...minus the Birdsell's came to our house to celebrate the beginning of summer! Too bad it was cold and rainy. We had 5 children under the age of 2 1/2 all under one roof, and one more will be joining us in Dec! Yay April and Gary!! :-)

So, we went from this a year ago....

to this....total toddler chaos

It's oldest to youngest starting with Ava, Reese, Trent, Lila and Max. We told Ava she was going to be the baby boss, and she took that title proudly. She woke up on Monday morning and asked, "my babies here mommy? I be baby boss today, mommy"! When everyone left she asked in a sad voice, "my babies go?"!

Now, we move on to Reese. She turned out to be the undercover bruiser! The day ended with Reese and Trent playing outside on the porch, suddenly I see Reese somehow take Trent down to the ground and he nailed his head on the door! Disclaimer, that Trent is ok. I had never seen Reese do something like that, and she immediately had to go inside and go to bed. Very embarrassing. That night, I was going through our pictures and realized, she not only took Trent to the ground, she also poked Trent's eyes and then proceeded to rip Lila's bow out of her hair. Let's just hope this is a bully phase, not a way of life for her! Sorry Apes and Amanda!!

I think it's funny that Amanda, Amy, April and myself were all pregnant at the same time with the 4 of these kiddos. Reese is the oldest by 4-5 months, and literally she is the shortest and weighs the least out of everyone. She's my little runt!
