Book of Mormon Play Dough Style

This was Tim's idea for Family Home Evening a week ago and we had so much fun doing this activity. We each could make something out of play dough that was in the Book of Mormon. Jacob made an orange arrow and a white pencil to write on the Golden Plates. Noah made the sixteen, white stones in the story of the Brother of Jared (he wanted to taste them). Tim made a sword, sling, and an arrow. I made the Golden Plates and the Temple Bountiful (green). Now this week for FHE we are cleaning and organizing out the boys room, not as fun but needs to be done. Quess who's idea was this?...Daddy's too.

All Of 21 Months!

3. Baby Cake!
4. My dump truck is full!
5. Going bananas!

Surprise Me Again!

Tim loves to surprise me or lately he has been. We brought a van last Friday, as I surprise to me Tim has been researching for a while, finding out which van would be the best purchase for our needs. So Friday, after celebrating Jacob's birthday, he said, "Why don't we go and "look" at vans?" I have learned from this experience and others in our married live together, Tim doesn't "look" or "browse" for idems that he wants or needs. Tim goes and gets what he wants. Way to be sweetheart! I love you! FYI: I love driving it! It is a Dodge Caravan 2007, silver outside and dark gray inside.

Going To School- Pre School Style

Jacob goes to pre-school Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from eight to eleven thirty, every week for the whole school year. He started this past Monday, complete with homemade cupcakes and apple juice that we brought from home, to celebrate his 5th birthday. He loves school and making new friends!
P.S. Jacob picked out his outfit for his first day of school. Check out the shirt Grandma Wheelwright!

Jacob's 5th Birthday Party

Jacob asked to go to Chuck E. Cheeses for his birthday party. We went there last Friday afternoon. We had a fun and great time together as a family. Jacob was able to get a toy rocket afterword with our combined ticket winnings. On Sunday, we celebrated with a specially planned dinner (by Jacob) of homemade chicken nuggets and fries, green beans, tomatoes (from our garden) and his "car" cake, which was his idea and design. I got trick candles for his cake, we lost count on how many times we relit the candles on his cake. Jacob and Noah both wanted to keep blowing out the candles (a tradition from my Wheelwright family, relighting the candles on the cake so each child has a chance at blowing them out. Of course the birthday child got the first blow out!).

Happy Birthday Jana!

Tim's Lastest Work Of Art

While our boys and I were visiting family and friend, in Utah and Idaho for three weeks, Tim was busy here are home and work (understatement). We came home to three surprises, one he had cleaned all the carpets on our home! Two, he did a ton of yard work, so the outside looked as good as the inside. His third surprise was a desk he built, beautifully done and he gave it to me! Way to go sweetheart! I love you! I didn't know I needed a big desk so bad until I have one. It has been wonderful!

"Jacpob!"

Last month Noah started say Jacob name and now they love playing together. "Jacpob" is Noah's favorite word to call out when it is nap time and Noah still wants to play, instead of taking his nap. Here of some pictures that says it all, one of a single engine airplane with pilot and copilot aboard and the other "baby school" as Jacob calls it.
FYI: The outfit is Jacob's favorite, he picked it out himself and wears it everyday (except days of washing). "I am a soldier!" explains Jacob. Check it out Uncle Jared!

"I didn't learn anything!"

It is hard to believe, but yes, Jacob is starting preschool next Monday morning. We are bring cupcakes for his class too, to celebrate his fifth birthday. He is ready and very excited, so is his parents. Thanks to members of our ward, telling us about this wonderful preschool, through our local high school, Jacob is all set to go there.
Last Thursday night, our family went to the preschool open house. There we got to look around and see Jacob's classroom. Jacob stayed there while we (Tim, Noah and I) went to a parent's teacher meeting. When the meeting was over and we were driving home, Jacob informed us, "I didn't learn anything!"
