Wow!!! My baby has turned FIVE!!!!! For some reason, it has been easier w/Jacob turning five compared to Jackson turning ten! Maybe Jackson turning ten in Feb. eased me into accepting that his little brother would soon be another year older as well! :) Who knows?! Jacob had a nice birthday! We met some good friends of ours at Galaxy (a big, gigantic playplace for kids). We had pizza and the kids played games and climbed and ran and played for several hours. The next day we had cake and ice cream w/family and lots of balloons which were a BIG hit. My dad (known as "Gramps" to the kids) works at Praxair and gets free helium which is awesome!!!!! Jacob also got to take M&M cookies to preschool (which my mom better known as "Gramsey" made). Thank You, Gramsey!!!!! Gramsey is always helping us out w/things like that!!!! I sure hope I will be a grandma like that some day!!!! :) All in all, Jacob had a fun birthday and got some cool presents, too!!! :) My boys are five and ten!!!! They are growing up fast!!!! We did find out this week that Jacob needs glasses. I had noticed him having a teeny bit of trouble seeing something on the computer. Big brother wears glasses so I went ahead and made Jacob an appointment just to be safe. Well, a month after I made the appt., Jacob had kindergarten registration and, what do ya know?! They also thought he should get his eyes checked. I must admit, I was proud that I had already caught it myself and had already made the appointment!!!! lololol!!!! Sooooo, he had his first eye appt. this past Friday and yep, he needs glasses! He pretty much has something similar to his brother. For them, one eye works good and the other doesn't. The good eye ends up doing all the work while the "lazy" eye stays lazy. Jackson had to wear a patch (over his good eye - it forces the lazy eye to work) for a couple of months to correct his lazy eye. There is a good chance that Jacob may have to do the same down the road. Right now, he is to wear glasses full-time. I was very proud of him when we tried on glasses and picked out a pair. He did really good and we were able to find a pair fairly quickly!!!! I will post a pic when his glasses come in - should be soon!!!! :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACOB!!!!!!!!!!! (Birthday April 23rd)!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!! :)

Wow the big 5. So will he go to school these year?
He's so cute! If he ends up having to wear a patch, it could be fun for him to pretend to be a pirate! Happy Birthday to Jacob.
I'll be back on your blog checking it out tonight!! Thanks for your sweet notes on mine!!!
SO, YOU BE WAITING! I'll be back! :)
Hey! I DID do some reading! You have such a beautiful family! How do you know Steph and Michelle?? Just curious--
Gonna add you to my blog list! Would love to check in with a fellow Ohioan! :)
Your boys are just gorgeous! He has such beautiful coloring, and I love those poses. He seems like such a sweetie. Good for you for catching the eyes early. They just did a screening at Oren's school and said he may need an eye exam, that he had a little trouble seeing far away. Like you, I already had an appointment scheduled. I did move it up by a couple weeks, and we'll find out friday if he needs glasses. (We went to Walmart today to price frames, he looks adorable in glasses... is that odd?) I think Momma just knows sometimes, you know? :-) Happy Birthday Jacob!
