teenager in the house--yikes! (september 2014)

Okay, so the weekend we returned from Hawaii, this amazing fantastic kid turned the big 13!! Meaning we officially now had a TEENAGER in the house. I don't know if this is way super exciting or entirely terrifying--but I guess I'll go with both:-). 

We had an especially fun time celebrating as, in addition to the grandmas and auntie Jill's family,  Grandpa Jacobs happened to be up from Portland and Aunt Carrie was visiting from Japan!! Woohoo!!

It was awesome to be together celebrating this great day:).

The new teenager got some fun b-day gifts--crazy teeth, a cool book, a magnetic toy that K and I brought back from Hawaii, a Seahawks hat, and more!

We also had a tasty time eating a very thoughtful cake that the other kiddos made for him--in case it's not obvious, it's a book cake. Perfect for Porter!!

After the indoor fun, the kids all had a wacky and wild time out on the trampoline--must have been a beautiful Fall day. 

And then some of us hung out at the park for a bit, staying warm in our blankies and watching one of the girls' theatrical/sporty performances.

Fun fun times being together and celebrating a great b-day for a great kid!!

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010
