A Mickey Mouse Surprise...

New Mickey Mouse pillow and sleeping bag/blanket.
Helping Daddy vacuum. He did a great job!
Jake has decided to use his 'bobcat' bath towels as a blanket. He actually goes to the closet just to get them for that reason. I have no idea what that's about! Thanks Tracy for the blankets?

Playing outside

Since it's been so cold lately and we've been on the go, Jake hasn't been able to go outside and play very much on his new swingset so we decided that's what we were going to do Sunday.

A day at Grandmama and Papa's house...

Saturday we spent the day in Edgefield at Grandmama and Papa's house. We are always able to find something fun to do. Jamie, Jake and Papa went to the pond and Jake got to see a fox. I asked Jamie what the fox was doing and he said he was resting permenantly by the tree. I'm just glad they didn't come back with a picture of that! We also...

A Glimpse of Snow

Chapin didn't get much snow but we did get to see it fall.

Saturday night with the McKee's

Saturday night we went to Charlotte to meet up with Adam, Andrea, and Maggie (soon to be here). It has been a while since we've seen the McKees and wanted to do something for them before Maggie's arrival. We can't wait to go back in a couple of weeks to meet her!
When leaving church on Sunday Jake sat in the baby carrier for a fun ride to the car. This didn't stop just in the church parking lot though. He even left like this from eating lunch. One man made a comment about the 'baby' and Jamie had to show him that it was Jake. I know that man thought we were all crazy.

Jake and Prayer

Yesterday while we were out Jake picked out a stuffed Minney Mouse (you can bend her arms and legs) to give to Emily. He carried it to the counter, kept pushing it at the lady until she rang it up and then even carried it out of the store in it's own bag all by himself.
Later that night he had gotten ready to go to bed and on the way to his room I went to my room to do something. While I was in there he noticed Minnie Mouse on the bed. We played with her for a while and then I told him "Let's go night-night." Every night before I put him down we say our prayers. When he heard night-night I guess he knew it was coming up next. He starts saying "prayers, prayers", grabbed his stool out of my bathroom, brought it to the side of the bed, stood on it and folded his hands like when we say our prayers or the blessing. I looked and noticed that Minnie had her hands together as well and Jake, Minnie and I said our good night prayer...not only once but multiple times. Jamie was lucky enough to come upstairs and get in on it too. SO CUTE!!
We said good night to daddy again and on our way to Jake's room he kept pointing back at my room saying "prayer, prayer, prayer". I then realized he was talking about Minnie. Before it was all over this is what Jake ended up taking to bed with him last night.
Clemson played basketball last night so Jake was carrying around his Clemson helmet. Nothing was better then saying his prayers with Minnie and then making her wear the Clemson helmet to bed! GO MINNIE MOUSE!

Happy New Year!

Every year we go to Grandmama and Papa's on New Years Day to watch football and nap. This year Jeff, Kristine, Savannah, and Drew joined us along with Aunt Kitty and Helen. It was a full house and everybody had a great time.
Jake found Pop's rocking chair when he was little and had to take it home with him.



The kitchen was as far as we got the rocking chair while trying to finish cleaning out the car and Jake was already in it when we got back inside. THANKS POP!!Watching Bob the Builder and eating goldfish.
