Jacob's First Visitors

 Grandma Whimpey flew down from Seattle to visit and help around the house with our brand new baby. 
 She sure loved on this beautiful boy!  It was hard to get him back into my arms once Grandma had him!
 Aunt Amy and cousin Maren came to visit too!
 Maren is the baby of her family so she never got the chance to hold little babies like this!
 Everyone helps her out!
 Even Uncle Brad came to visit baby Jake!  We were so happy for the great company and Jacob loved all the attention I'm sure!

SPRINKLERS IN NOVEMBER!!!

As crazy as it seems, the November weather still permits backyard sprinkler time here in Texas!
 Matthew making a dash!
Silly Monkey Emily
 Rebecca posing for the Heisman's!
 These 3 kids are sure fun to watch!
 Rebecca was super silly with her high stepping through the sprinklers!  Well, there goes our water bill this month!  But oh what fun!!!

Car Seat Bundled

 So tiny in his car seat.  Our friend made this adorable hat for him - super warm and fluffy!
Searching for food!
Not a huge fan of being strapped down in his car seat!  This baby has some lungs!

Jacob Louis Lopez is here!

On Wednesday, November 6, 2013, our family expanded by 2 adorable feet! 
Jacob definitely had a good set of lungs!
 Weighed in at 7 pounds 5 ounces
 More screaming with his first diaper
 Mom and dad are totally smitten with this little guy
 My boys
 Very satisfied after his first nursing
 Bex meeting Jacob for the first time
 The whole crew meeting Jacob - Katie was so funny because she looked so surprised when she saw Jacob and said, "He looks so normal!  So cute!"  We are just going to assume she thought he would have sideburns like his papa!
 Brothers and soon to be best buds!
 Emily holding him like a pro!
 Katie getting some lovin' in!
 Bex is not too sure about this little dude, but loved to touch his head and constantly asked to hold him while she visited the hospital.
 Ahhh....
 Our first visitors brought gifts - lots of clothes from my boss and co-workers.  Kevin and Patti held Jacob and they were such naturals!  Got him quieted down and he loved them instantly!
 Rebecca also met Santa (who was watching his granddaughter at the observation window)
 It didn't take long for her to open up and tell him everything she wanted for Christmas!
 Such a handsome boy!
Ready to head home. 
 He looks so tiny in his car seat!
 We brought Jacob home from the hospital on Friday afternoon and that night I got a load of files from the office to work on over the weekend.  Work and a new baby - I didn't skip a beat!
 He loved his swing - the best seat watching momma work! 
Our family has been so blessed to have Jacob in our home!  We all adore him and I love watching everyone love our little man in their own way.  He is perfect as our 5th child and I cannot wait to watch him grow!

Happy Halloween!

 Our Halloween crew ready to head out trick-or-treating
 Katie gets the creepy award this year!
 Sam took the kids up and down our street while Preggo mom stayed home to hand out candy
 Cuties on our staircase!
 The night after Halloween, we drove to Patti's house for our traditional Pirate ship adventure!
 The kids always have fun with Kevin and Patti!
 What a great Pirate ship!
 Everyone piling off the boat.  Patti always spoils the kids with yummy treats and gifts at each holiday.  So we thought it was perfect getting dressed up one more time into our Halloween gear for this visit!
Beautiful Cleopatra wishing everyone a happy, safe Halloween!!!

Pumpkin Carving




Everyone got their own pumpkin to carve this year and the kids had a blast cutting away!
