Heidi comes for a visit...

Heidi Hinton came for a visit while her mom and dad went away for the weekend. It was hard to give her back :( I'm sure Jake will try to put her in his bookbag.
Nap time...
We told Heidi not to bother Kayce. You can tell she heard me because of how she is approaching her but must not have really believed me.

Easter...Part 1

We spent most of Easter weekend in McCormick but made it back home for Easter at our church. We really love going there and love seeing everybody. Jake was so nice that he got together some of the Easter candy and shared with his special friends at church. Below are a couple of pictures...a couple...didn't do a good job with pictures at all. :(

Jake's Easter basket.
He told me the Easter Bunny did a good job knowing his favorites!
Way to go Easter Bunny!!The Easter Bunny left mama a basket too...Very nice!This helped make his Easter basket perfect.He took a bite out of the ear but that was it.

Hopefully Part 2...pictures from Nana/Pop and Grandmama/Papa's house...will be posted soon.

Hope everybody had a great Easter and as Jake loves to say,
"HE'S ALIVE"

Jake's Flying Adventure


Jamie and Jake took a trip to Atlanta on Saturday just to let Jake experience flying. They flew from Charlotte to Atlanta and back to Charlotte. We have been counting down the days and when it finally got here he didn't know what to do with himself. He loved the entire process but Jamie said that his face when they were about to take off for the first time was totally priceless!!! Below are some great pictures...thanks to Jamie for making sure he got enough for a photo book!! :)

A Day in Charlotte

There was no daycare in Charlotte today so Suzanne and I volunteered to keep all of the 'charlotte kids'. We love each one and had such a fun day.

My favorite part was getting to look in the back of the car and seeing this image. SO PRECIOUS!!

Brecken, Jake, Emily, Will and Jack


Our favorite kids CD is the CD we got from Vacation Bible School. Here is a preview to the song Y-E-S


We took the kids to Chick-fil-a for lunch and to play on the playground...oh yeah, and some ice cream!The kids had such a great time getting to play together.
The view from above...We were happy to get to hang out with Aspen.
Jake was so tired by the time we got home and Kipper was SO excited to finally have him home.

Jake's thoughts about being a Big Brother...

As many of you know, Jamie, Jake, and I are going to add to our family through adoption, hopefully a boy Jake's age. It's something that Jamie and I talked about even before getting married. We're about half way through the process and so excited for what's to come. We talk to Jake about it often and he knows that he will be the brother. Yesterday our next door neighbor delivered a beautiful baby girl. That means Jake's best friend Isaac is a Big Brother. All Jake has been talking about since we told him Isaac's sister was born was what a great Big Brother he is going to be. Here is a conversation between Jake and his older friend Carson.

Jake: "I'm gonna get a baby brother"
Carson: "Really? When?"
Jake: "When we find one."


...PRICELESS...

WE DID IT!!!

We did it. Jake talked to Santa!! I'm so happy that he finally asked Santa for his "truck that McQueen comes out of". He didn't want to sit in his lap but he didn't have to. I was just proud that he spoke to him.

Jake and Daddy having fun waiting in line...

BIG WHEELS at EdVenture

Today we went to EdVenture to see the BIG trucks. I mentioned going to Jake Friday and by Saturday morning I hoped he had forgotten. 1st thing out of his mouth when he woke up..."When are we going to see the big trucks?" Luckily Jamie was able to go with us. We all had a great time together!

We hope this is the ONLY time this happens...


They had bikes to ride...



After looking at the BIG trucks we went inside for some more fun!
Jake vs. Jamie. Is there that much difference in the speeds?? They were both into it...wow!Jamie and the heart!Jake was so glad it wasn't his turn in the chair.Bought his own birthday cake for the party.
