Jake's weekend with Nana & Papa

Jason was off for the weekend so we decided to tackle a few things on the list of "Things We Wish we could do, but never have time for...." The two main things that this included were going to visit Nana & Papa and going to tailgate with friends for the UGA/Tenn game. Having a baby sure does change things and we haven't been up to Royston or Athens as much as we'd like to.

Friday was Papa's birthday. He and Nana were "campering" with Sarah and Alex for the weekend. They wanted to be close by for the Brown family get-together. Jake was able to spend a lot of time with them while Jason and I headed for Athens for a few hours to catch up with our tailgating buddies.

Racing to Jake's Second Birthday!

Rev your Engines and Shift into Gear... Jake's Second Birthday is almost here! We celebrated Jake's birthday a few weeks early this year because of Jason's work schedule. His official birthday isn't until March 29, but extra partying never hurts anyone! We also combined his party with a special surprise for Nanna Nette's big 6-0 party. Jake had a blast celebrating with all of his favorite people. Jake found his gifts before the party even started. He was riding his new tricycle from Nana and Papa before all of the party guests arrived. Nanna Nette was surprised to find out that she had helped plan her own party! Cousin Alex helping Jake open his presents Jake loves his laptop. He feels like such a big boy! Claire is on the move! She loved all of the attention she got during Jake's party. Jake in his party hat (Thanks to the Dizzy Dragonfly!) Claire also took a ride on Jake's new trike Jake's new 4-wheeler from Mom and Dad Jake attempting to blo...

Babyland General

On a recent trip to visit the some of the grandmothers, we took the kids to Babyland General. While they aren't mature enough to adopt their own babies yet, they enjoyed all of the babies at the nursery. I expect that we will be going back to adopt when they get a little older. They had a blast! Claire really liked the ones with big hair. I think the school bus was Jake's favorite part. He wanted to get on and ride!

Jake and Nanny Shewbert

Image
Nanny Shewbert , my great-grandmother, is 98 or 99 years old. (She says she is 98, but the family Bible says 99.) She lived with us some when I was a child to take care of Allyson and me so that Mom could work. Because of this, she and I have always been very close. In fact, I like to joke with my cousins that I'm her favorite. So when Jake came along, I wanted him to be around Nanny Shewbert as often as possible. She lives in Helen, so we don't see her (or the rest of our mountain family) often enough. Jake is incredibly blessed to have 1 great-great- grandmother, 3 great-grandmothers, and a great-grandfather to all welcome him in to the world. For Labor Day weekend, Nanny Nette and I decided to take advantage of the long weekend and get up to see the family. The Nannies felt like getting out so the 5 of us piled in the car to go visit family that we never get to see, do a little tourist watching in Helen, and made quick stop at Dairy Queen. During our 3 h...
