More Messes

The boys got quiet again yesterday and this is what I found when I checked on them. They completely emptied Jacob's toybox and crawled in it. Yes, they had to clean it up.....but they sure did have a good time making the mess. Gotta love em'!

My Birthday Dinner!

My family took me out to dinner this past Sunday for my 33rd birthday. We had a really good time. The group consisted of my Dad, Mom, Sister Melissa, Brother-in-law Shane, Keith and our boys Jacob and Benjamin. The boys had a good time believe it or not. We went to Puleo's Grill in Knoxville and I think Jacob ate more food than any of us adults. That boy sure can put it away!! My family says he's just like his mama! LOL!! Thank you family for such an awesome time!! I love you all!!

The Red Sox did it again!!!

Jacob's baseball team won again Monday night. It was another blow out!! Jacob did good again. Several of the kids had a bad batting night though, including Jacob, but we will get it right in practice on Thursday night and we will have another good game this coming Monday. Go Red Sox!!!!

Sunday Dinner with Papaw and Granny Eskridge

We had dinner today at Papaw and Granny Eskridge's house. Yummy! The boys love their cooking and they are always excited when we tell them we are going to eat with them. Jacob asked me if it was time to go eat at Granny's all through church service this morning. LOL! We had a good time with them. The boys' Great Uncle George was there too. Thank you Papaw and Granny!!

Kingston Country Fair

Mi-mi (my Mom) and I took the boys to the Country Fair in Kingston this morning and they had a big time jumping in the bounce house and sliding on the big inflatable slides. Jacob also wanted to climb on the rock climbing post so we let him give it a shot. He really couldn't get his feet placed just right to climb it, but he gave it a really good try. Maybe he will be able to climb it all the way next year. He had fun trying though. Thank you Mi-mi for a fun day.

Veggie Tales Live!!!

Keith and I took Jacob and Benjamin to see Veggie Tales Live tonight at the Knoxville Christian Center on Cedar Bluff. It was awesome!! The boys had so much fun....and so did we! They loved every minute of it! Here are a few pics from tonight.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.......they had a drawing to win two different prizes tonight at the show. One prize was 3 new Veggie Tales releases and the Grand Prize was a 24 DVD Library of Veggie Tales shows. When I first got there, I didn't realize that we were supposed to fill out that card we were given at the door for a chance to win one of these prizes (duh!), but when I found out from someone sitting beside me, I thought "I'm not gonna fill that out because I never win anything", and then I had a second thought "well you never know"............... and so I filled it out and turned it in. The announcer finally got around to drawing names at intermission and believe it or not..... I won the Grand Prize of the night!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How cool is that? Jacob said "Why didn't they say my name instead of yours?" I explained to him that by the announcer calling my name, that meant he was the winner. He was happy then.

Jacob said something so funny tonight: On one of the scenes, they were singing about a Cheeseburger, and there were two girls on stage singing back up. One was dressed like a bottle of ketchup and the other like a bottle of mustard. I said "look Jacob, they are dressed up like ketchup and mustard bottles!" He looked at the stage and then looked like he was in deep thought for a minute and then he looked back at me and asked "Mom, where is the hot sauce?" Is that hilarious or what???? Keep in mind that we like spicy foods here at our house and the hot sauce bottle makes it to our kitchen table for many meals. My kids never cease to amaze me.

Red Sox win again!!

Jacob had his 2nd Baseball game this past Monday and his team won again!! Jacob got a base hit every time he got up to bat. He also stopped a ground ball that was hit to him in left field and threw it in to stop the runner. We were winning by such a landslide that the coaches decided to switch up the positions and Jacob ended up playing short stop. That was funny! He had no clue what to do. He would just watch the balls zooming by him and it looked like he was thinking "what was that?". It was too cute! We all are having such a good time. Of course Benjamin had a good time playing in the rocks behind the bleachers. At one point during the game I said "Keith, do you see Benjamin anywhere?" and Keith started looking around for him and found him at the gate getting ready to go on to the ballfield. I guess he is ready to play too. lol. Everytime we get ready to go to a game he says "Gacob bawgame". Jacob is really loving this baseball stuff and can't wait unti the next game. He loves getting dressed up in his uniform for the games. He thinks he is big stuff (well, he is big stuff :) ) I will be sure to post updates on all the games. Until next time...........................
