Update on Jacob
Jacob had his 18 month check-up last week but he is actually 19 months old but anyway he is doing great. He weighs 25lbs (45th percentile) and his height is 32 inches ( 45th percentile). The Doc said he was growing and doing great. He is in to everything and I mean everything. His favorite thing to do at the moment is pull a chair up to the silverware drawer and pull all the silverware out and then try to put it all back. You can imagine how well that goes. He is the sweetest little boy and I enjoy him and Tucker so much. I have so much to be thankful for.

Labor Day Weekend
We are home safe and sound from Bama. We had a great trip and got to see lots of friends and family. The first part of our trip was in Tuscaloosa with Mom and Dad. I haven't been home since Christmas so I was really excited about seeing Mom and Dad. The boys had so much fun playing outside and riding Dad's golf cart. We had so much fun just being home. I have been so homesick lately so I really needed this time with my parents. It was wonderful being with them . I just wish we could have stayed longer.
This is one of my best friends Heather. We have been BFF's since about 6th grade. I love her like a sister. I haven't seen her in almost 2 years so I was so excited that she was able to come down to see us for a few hours. We talk on the phone about once a week but being able to see her was so great. We have been thru so much together I can't imagine not having her in my life. We had a great day together and I can't wait to see her again in a few months.
The boys really enjoyed Grammy's and Pop's swing.
Tucker is always up for a photo.
Jacob had a blast playing outside.
We stayed in T-town for 2 nights then headed to Birmingham. We stopped by my grandparents house for a short visit. I love this picture so many reasons. First, I love that my kids get to spend time with there great-grandparents. I didn't know my great-grandparents so this really means a lot to me. 2nd, Jacob doesn't like many people but he went right to my grandfather. He sat in my Pawpaw's lap and let him read books to him almost the entire time we were there. When we got to there house we had a surprise visitor. My aunt Rebecca was there to see us. It was so nice to see family. Did I mention I have been really homesick?
After our visit with my grandparents we headed over to Jason and Amberly's house. The boys were so excited to play with all of Nate's toys. Jacob was really enjoying the light saber.
These little guys really had fun playing together.

Story time with Uncle Johnny.
These two were always up to no good. Um, I don't really think they were suppose to be playing on Jason's and Amberly's bed.

Mary Raines
All summer me and Kasey have talked about letting the kids spend the night with other but we have both been busy and haven't really been able to plan anything. Well, last week Kasey needed me to watch Mary Raines for a few hours so we just decided to let her spend the night. We were all excited! When Tucker woke up the first thing he asked was when is Mary Raines coming over. I was super excited because I am so out-numbered in this house it would be nice to have another girl for the night. She is such a sweet little girl and we all had fun playing with her. She played really good with the boys and was very easy to take care of. She actually had me wrapped around her little finger and she knew it. If she asked for juice she got it. Chocolate milk for breakfast, absolutely. We had a great time and can't wait until she comes back for another sleep over.
She finally got her and made herself right at home. Sorry Kasey, the bow is already out!
She is showing Tucker how to draw.
Her and Jacob took turns riding the horse.
So, Tucker comes downstairs first and tells me they are playing in the snow. Mary Raines had found her favorite shoes. Tucker's snow boots. She always finds these and wears them when she comes over.
Mary Raines can you give Tucker a hug?
She didn't want me to push Tucker she wanted to do it.
This lasted about 2 seconds.
I know, they are going to hate me when they get older. This was probably the most interesting part of the evening. Tucker has never seen Mary Raines undressed so he had some very funny comments about her. Mary Raines has a little brother so she wasn't in as much shock as Tucker was. Good Times!

Prince William County Fair
Guess what was across the street from the speedway? The good ole County Fair. So, guess what we did this past weekend? We took the boys to the Prince William County Fair. When I was a kid we didn't have the fair we had the carnival. I really loved going to the carnival and looked forward to it as a kid. I was really excited about going to the fair. I guess things are really better when you are younger. Once we got to the fair I just wasn't that into it. I tried to be a good sport but boy was it nasty. I think some of the same rides I rode as a kid in Winfield were at this fair. Does anybody remember the "Roundabout"? Um, yeah it was still running at this fair after all these years. The boys had a good time and Johnny thought it was the best thing besides Disney that we have ever done. Stay tuned, I am devoting another entry to the Demolition Derby that was part of the fair. Yuck!
We love petting zoo's!
Jacob loves tractors and was so excited about seeing all the different kinds.
This was Tucker's favorite.
Tucker is not afraid to try anything.
Is this really safe for a 3 year old????
The wiggleworm.
He loved this ride.
The Ferris wheel. He never got scared!
One of the only rides that Jacob would ride. Jacob and I just weren't really ready for the fair!
If a pony ride is available Tucker is all about it. This was fun since they let Johnny walk him around the fence.

Old Dominion Speedway
Here is how the conversation started: I got something fun for us to do tonight. OK, what? Well, you are going to think it's pretty redneck but just hear me out.
Johnny worked on Saturday and as he was leaving his customer's house the customer told him that they were about to head out to Manassas to go to the Old Dominion Speedway. Johnny was like what is that? His customer told him that it's a race track that races all kinds of cars and that kids get in free. I wasn't really into going but I knew the boys would like it and seeing that I am out-numbered here I said OK let's do it. Johnny was right, it was pretty red but the kids really enjoyed it and at least I got a funnel cake out of it.
Gentleman, Start your engines!
These are what they call "The Legend Cars"
Lovin the race!
This little guy liked running back and forth on the bleachers and eating funnel cake.
When we got in the car to leave Johnny asked Tucker if he had a good time. Tucker's response: I liked it, a little bit.
After the race was over they let the crowd come down into the pit. We got to look at all the cars and even sit in some of them.
Jacob got right in and started waving bye.
This was my favorite car and guess what a woman drove it. Wow, I could have a future at Old Dominion Speedway. Um, I think I will keep my day job.
