Jacoby's Third Birthday!

We had so much fun celebrating Jacoby's Birthday in Idaho this year with his favorite people! Not only were his cousins there but Ty was in Boise for Thanksgiving and got to come too. It was perfect!
Ash made this really cute poster and Jacoby and I found the other fire engine stuff for his birthday. He even picked out his own shirt. We had been trying to decide what kind of birthday to have either fire engine or tractors, two of his favorite things, and when he saw this shirt he told me he wanted a fire engine birthday. SOLD!
To make it even better my mom set up a tour of the local fire station for the kids and they even wore their hats!

The kids loved every minute of it. They were taking it all in like crazy!
He even had to wear his church boots that day because firemen where boots.
They got to try on all the gear
and practice driving the big engine.
Even Miss Emma loved it!

Boden really liked this heat sensor and he was happy playing with that for quite a while
We were trying to get a good shot of Jacobes from the front of the engine so the firefighter hoisted him up, as you can see he thought he was pretty cool!
But I think the highlight for Jacoby was actually getting to drive the fire engine. He got to sit on the lap of the captain while he pulled it out. He wasn't so sure about it at first. He kept looking at me wondering if he was ok but pretty soon he got caught up in it and loved it.
The fireman put the coat and hat and Jacoby because it was his birthday and I seriously cannot stop laughing every time I look at this picture. The poor boy! The hat ways more than he does soaking wet!
As you can see, he was terrified to move. He kept the same expression the entire time and would only move his eyes. Pretty soon, the hat slipped to the side and took Jacoby with it. It was so funny! He landed face down in the hat and his legs were still straight. Then he just said, Mama. It was priceless. We took them off of him and gave them to Michael.
He was still holding onto the hat though!
Then we put it on Boden. Love this pic!
He was so happy and loved every minute of it!
He didn't want to leave and him and his Dad watched as they pulled away. For some reason the pic didn't post but this was fire station number 3 in Boise- how fitting is that!


After the fire station, we headed back to my mom's house for pizza and white cupcakes with fire engines that Aunt Ash made and Jacoby requested.
He was so excited to have Ty there and we were so glad they were able to make it.
Then we opened presents and boy did we have a lot of help.
Jacoby was so sweet and went around and hugged everyone and thanked them for their presents. Here he is with Grandma GG.

Love this pic of him and Mama! And with Paka! We had the best time and I was so glad to be able to celebrate it with all of my family. Jacoby loves being at Mama and Paka's house and he is in heaven any time he is with his cousins. He loves them so much and it is so much fun to watch him play with them. He gets so excited and they do so well together. They are truly his favorite people behind his Mama and Daddy of course!
