Jacob's 2nd Birthday!

Jacob had an Elmo birthday (He very cutely says "Melmo.").
He started the day with opening his present from Granny and Grandpa Perkins.

Jacob isn't sure that he wants to get up.

But wait! It's my birthday and this is a present for me?

How does this thing work?
You pull the arms and legs and he says "Elmo needs a good stretch!"

Yay! I have a Melmo!

Happy Birthday to me!

The lighting of the birthday candles!

My very own Melmo cake? Yum!


He was so cute with the candles. He wouldn't get any closer than this but kept blowing and blowing. Brothers finally gave him a little help:)


All right! Let's eat this cake!

Benjamin enjoys his cake.

Evan finally gets some cake and ice cream. He was ready to eat all day!

Jacob really enjoys his cake!


Really enjoyed it!


Finger licking good!

Benjamin's First Day at his new school

Here is Benjamin on his first day at Groveland Elementary as an official kindergartener. He is really enjoying it and goes to the morning half day class.

As you can see, Evan would really love to be going with Benjamin. He at least gets to walk with him to the bus stop every morning.

ETS Family Picnic

On September 16th, we attended the family picnic at the place that Ben works now. ETS has a huge campus and they set up a carnival with an Around the World theme. There were different regions that you could go to with food, games and entertainment and it was all free for employees and their families. There was a group of breakdancers that Benjamin kept imitating, a mariachi band and a Chinese acrobat that was really cool. We all had a great time!

See the kids still have Clemson at heart. They wanted to jump in the tiger:)

Sumo wrestling...I just thought this was funny.

This was the helicopter that kept circling and taking pictures of the event. The kids thought it was pretty cool to see one so close.

Random Pictures!

These really are a bunch of random pictures that I would just post so everyone could see. Enjoy!

Jacob is excited that I let him color with crayons.

Evan blows bubbles while wearing his favorite shirt, the blue shirt with silver letters that says Old Navy. He has worn this shirt so much that we got the new one that you will see later in these pictures.

Jacob's attempt at undressing and redressing.

Ice cream cones are good on a hot afternoon! They were all so cute sitting in their chairs together.

My mother-in-law got a new purse and cleaned out the old one. So Jacob decided to be a purse ghost. Oooooh!

Jacob fell asleep one night leaning on the side of the chair. It was so cute:)

Jacob got Evan's boots on.

Christian models the crocheted purse that I made for her.

Jacob and Evan have fun with daddy.

Go daddy go!

Jacob says "Giddyup Daddy!"

Evan and Jacob both take a ride.

This was just too funny. This is Catboy and he was using this block of wood as a pillow to sleep on the front porch.

Jacob loves playing in boxes and here he is in another one.

Jacob decided to put a PullUp on over his diaper and was pretty successful.

He just got both legs in the same leg of the PullUp:)

Jacob loves his watermelon.

YummO!
