Jake's Birthday in Charlotte

We went to Charlotte to celebrate Jake's birthday with a special trip to see the Clemson Tigers play the Charlotte 49ers in basketball. Clemson won at the last second so it was a good night.

During the day Aunt Suzanne and I took Jake and Emily to get pictures made. Jake took his 3rd birthday pictures and Emily got her pictures taken for fun....yeah, I guess she would say fun!

Seeing the Clemson Tigers play basketball was the highlight of the trip for Jake AND Jamie.

Race Cars

Last weekend we went to Charlotte. Auggie Dogg got Jake tickets to the Clemson vs. 49ers basketball game and he was nice enough to take the rest of the crew too. That was definitely the best 3rd birthday gift! Aunt Tonya and Aunt Suzanne probably came in 2nd with the race cars. We put it together last night. He played for hours then and even got up this morning and played some more while we got ready for work. I only have time to post a video of him playing with the cars but will post more pictures from the weekend later.

Thanks for the race cars Aunt Tonya and Aunt Suzanne.

USC vs. Arkansas

Last weekend was the last home game of the season for USC. The Charlotte clan didn't make it down for the game so Nana and Pop got their fill of Jamie, Alyson, and Jake.
-I know you wouldn't trade it for anything Nana and Pop - hahaha.

Friday night we went to the USC basketball game. Jake loves any kind of sport and getting to see the gamecocks made it that much better.

The next day was the football game. It was a 1pm game so tailgating was short but a great time for Jake.

Ready to be 3

Last night we went to pick out party supplies for Jake's upcoming 3rd Birthday. He had such a great time going up and down the aisle looking at everything. It didn't take him long to decide that he wants a THOMAS THE TRAIN birthday party this year. He had such a great time picking everything out and got so excited thinking about his birthday. After that, we went to pick out the cake!! He loved doing that!

Look for all of the Thomas and Jake pictures in a couple of weeks! (Nov. 17th)

This is the only picture I took because the camera battery died. I hate it did because he tried on some crazy things. This was not one of the things we bought. :)

Just another day at the office...

From time to time Jake comes to the office with me to work. He's been doing it for close to 3 years now and I love it everytime. No smile in the picture...very serious about his work.

Here is a picture from when he first started coming with me to work!

USC vs. Tennessee

The USC/Tennessee game was last weekend. We always look forward to this game each year because we get to see Peni and Sam. The game didn't turn out well for them...esp. Peni but being together all weekend was great!

This is what Jake and Emily did the majority of the time tailgating.Jake and Emily visiting Sir Big Spur.Mallory and Peni.A well needed nap.

Happy Birthday Aunt Suzanne

HAPPY DAY AUNT SAN!!

Aunt Suzanne..or Aunt San as Jake calls her..turned a year older last weekend and we were all there to celebrate with her.

Making a wish.
