Car Snap Shot

Jacob and I (Jeff) saw some real cars that looked like Hot Wheels on tv today, and they did a loop and jump on a big track.  Jacob wanted to get his track out and do the same thing.  So, we decided to take a few pictures too.  The rest of the post will be done by Jacob.  He's going to pick the pictures and type the captions.  Enjoy.

It's Hot=Everyday, Pool Day!

Yep, the ONLY thing we did this week was go to the pool!  Here are a few pictures:

Awkward, Thomas!

MKs leaf pet leaf bug that she accidentally beheaded

Little did I know when I was snapping away, I would get to witness a sneak attack!

Watching Jacob's "dive"

Cheesing during snack time

I just ADORE living in this neighborhood!  It is so cool to go to the pool and end up bumping into people you know...and then having friends for the boys too!  One day this week there were like 6 other moms up there with all of our kids playing together...we haven't had that anywhere else we live and I am just so thankful that the Lord put us right here, right where we needed to be!

A Mini Catch Up

Doin' a little catch up this week...

Thomas and Grammy experience his first real live, up close and personal horse sighting...and it was amazing. Oh, and I should mention this was at the 90 mile yard sale...yea, weird.  

Jacob and Tommy cat outside a mud hut at the Etowah Indian Mounds

King Jacob surveying his kingdom from atop the mound

The three amigos on a mound

Cuddlebuggin' it on a swing by the river

Straight GANGSTA!

Letting Jacob hone his photog skills:

Lots of reading

and some more reading:

And then there's Jeff, who has also been having a rough time, toting customers around places like this: (and yes, he did take these pics while he was out at Barnsley one day)

We had a little baby shower for the professor...not The Professor, like from Cars2, but Alice, the professor of course!

Enjoying a little lunch and movie (hey! speaking of Cars2!) for the two sickies (Thomas=croup, Jacob=stomach bug)

OOOOOHHHHH!!!!!  Father's day work/present...some garage organizing things!  What a sweet, yet backhanded gift Jacob and Thomas!

Also another not feeling so well kind of day:

 And then I took the boys to Greenville to meet Cait and Grammy for the weekend (and they were thankfully feeling better than they had been for the past 2 weeks)...here they are having Jacob read them Mr. Brown Can Moo...while they do the noises of course!

Grammy and Tomcat gettin' ready for a dip in the pool

Enjoyed plugging his ears

Cait and Jacob doing something or another

Looking cute after our night on the town in Greenville

Day at the zoo:

Creepers in the hotel room

So, Thomas loves snakes...fantastic.  When they would slither up the glass and then fall off, he would say "up, please" (or bup peas...which is what he actually says)...trying to get them to go up the glass again!

And, Jacob likes snakes too...

The boys checkin' out the lazy lions

Thomas gazing at the giraffes

This is my attempt at getting Thomas and Mom in a picture together...Mom tried to squat down to get close to his level, and he stepped aside and squatted down and "cheesed" by himself!

Just thought I should document this because I like this landscape as an option for the upper part of our backyard...and I want Jeff to have a clear vision of my vision

Monkey man Jacob swings from the climby thing at the park by the zoo...where it was 110 degrees!

And the token picture with Mother in it to prove I was there for all the festivities:
