Chirs's 5th Birthday Party

Happy Birthday, Chris! I can't believe that he is already 5...my how time flies! We had a party at Monkey Joes with 15 of his friends, and it was a wonderful day!

Matt Turns 2!!

My baby is turning 2!! We had Mema, Granddaddy, Aunt Robin, Aunt Gail, Kaly, Gracie and Zach up for the weekend and celebrated Matt and Graddaddy's birthday a few days early! For the first time, I made Matt's cake...and it turned out great!! Happy Birthday, my sweet boy!

Loving that cake!

The Birthday Boys - blowing out their candles.

Happy Birthday Matt (2) and Graddaddy (63)! Two of my favorite men...born exactly 61 years apart!

Happy Halloween!!

The weather was horrible this year for Trick-or-Treating! It was cold and rainy, but that didn't stop the Jacobs crew!

Mario, Luigi and Buzz Lightyear

Apparently, "Buzz" had never seen a hydrant up close before...he was amazed!

Oh, No! Buzz Down! Buzz Down!!

Our trick or treating crew...with Ellie, too!

The boys and Jake.

Chris's School Halloween Party

Carving Our Pumpkin!

Here is our pumpkin for Halloween 2009!

Chris gets his orange belt!!!

Chris has been working really hard at all of his Tae Kwon Do classes. And now he has an orange belt to prove it!

Chris's Soccer Game

Well, our second game was much better than the first! Chris was like a completely diffferent child! He was ready to go...no shyness at all. At one point towards the end of the game, he was so excited that he began to do flips on the ground as he ran down the field!! He scored 3 goals, and smiled the entire time!!

Fall Soccer 2009

Well, we have kicked off another soccer season. Both Tyler and Chris are playing this time around. Chris was a little shy for his first game and I had to spend a good bit of time "talking" with him to get him to play. Needless to say, we didn't get any pictures of him this week. He did finally get in there and play a little and ended up having a good time. Hopefully next week will be better!!

Tyler had a great game! He played sweeper and goalie, and did a great job!

My Boys

I just love this picture! Chris and Matt "drove" down to pick up Tyler when he got off the school bus. No room for him to ride, though...

Backyard Camping

The boys decided that they wanted to camp out in the back yard. As the time grew closer, the nerves started to kick in. Everbody went out, got settled in, and only Chris came back in to sleep with Mommy!

Matt and Barney

My boy loves his Barney!! I ordered him a Beanie Baby Barney, and he absolutely loves it!!

Chris is now taking Taekwondo lessons after school. He is taking it through C.B.B.A. - Christian Black Belt Academy - and he is loving it! I love the fact that to level up, not only does he have to master certain skills, he also must be able to repeat certain bible verses.

This is the board that he broke with his hand during his first lesson.

First Day of School!!!

Today is a big day at our house. Tyler is now a first grader and Chris is going to Pre-K. Both boys were excited and ready to go. Matt was excited...but I don't think he knew what was going on! My house is too quiet now, and Matt misses his "bubbas"!

Tyler - 1st grade

Chris - pre-k

Check out my new backpack!!

Tyler's 6th Birthday Celebration!!!

We celebrated Tyler's birthday while we were on our Jekyll vacation. He decided he wanted to go to Tokyo Joe's Japanese Steakhouse. All the gang was there!! Happy birthday, Ty Ty!!

Getting ready to dig into his Spongebob cake that Aunt Gail made!!

Jekyll Trip 2009

We borrowed an RV (thanks Uncle Eddie!!) and went camping at the Jekyll Island campground for vacation. Gail, Les and their kids took Mema and Graddaddy's RV and parked next to us. We all had a ball camping out...going to the beach...taking off on bike rides...it was a blast!!

Roughing it in the RV!!
