Visit

Nana and Papa came to NC recently for a 1 1/2 week long visit! I didn't get any pictures when they stayed at our house, but I did bring the camera to Charlotte when they went to visit my sister. I took Jake to my sister's house towards the end of my parents' visit, so Jake would get a chance to see them more and hang out with his cousins:




Jake absolutely had a blast getting to play with his cousins. He was at a great age to do stuff with them this time. They had fun running around the house, hiding/kicking the ball, playing hide and go seek, jumping around the outdoor playground set, and riding bikes:






We had such a great time. It was so good to have a nice long visit with you Nana and Papa! We can't wait to see you again in a couple of months when the baby is here :)

Rockin' Out

Too cute- here are some pictures I took of Jake rockin' out in his red undies! He loves picking up this guitar and playing some songs or dancing around to music. Like I said....too cute:

Celebration

We went to Kentucky this past weekend to celebrate Jason's Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary! This was for Jason's Mom's younger brother (Uncle Lacy) and his wife (Aunt Freida). We all had such a great time. Below are some pictures from the party:





Above is a picture of Jason with some of his cousins (Bev, Pam, & Kim). It was great to get to spend quality time with some of Jason's side of the family! It was also a lot of fun the next day when Jake got to swim in cousin Beverly's pool:





And finally, I had to include some pictures I took of Jason and Jake's water fight the first night we arrived at Nanny's house:




I think it's safe to say that Jake won!!

Playroom

Here is Jake in his playroom yesterday morning. I was trying to get some pictures of him in this hat he put on b/c he looked so cute. But of course, he would try to take it off or hide behind it when he knew I was trying to get his picture:

I managed to get one though!

The Fountains

I took Jake to the fountains at the Center City Park in Greensboro yesterday, where we enjoyed a picnic lunch. Jake loved playing in the puddles and running under the water archway. Here are some pictures I took of him playing in the puddles:




This was a great place to bring a toddler- Jake loved running through the water! Below are some pictures of Jason and Jake enjoying a popsicle the other night after dinner, just trying to stay cool in this hot weather we've been having:

I like cookies...

Above is a cute video I took of Jake and Jason singing a song they made up while they were eating cookies the other day. The only way I can figure out how to put videos up on the blog is to download them to youtube first. So, it might redirect you to watch other people's videos after ours is done.

Jake's Photos

Jake has become quite interested in taking photos of his own lately. Whenever I am taking pictures of him, he insists on me handing the camera over so he can take some pictures too. Here are some of the photos he has taken recently:




And here is a picture of me at 5 1/2 months pregnant:



So, Jason actually took the picture of my baby bump. But, Jake got his turn with the camera next and he snapped this photo of Jason:


Our little camera man!
