Look who followed me home from the park! I saw this sweet little kitten get dropped off at the park. It just broke my heart so I called her over and she came running and followed me home. She is the sweetest little thing. At about 20 weeks old she is a playful kitten but house trained. She is loving and gentle. The boys fell in love right away and were so excited to hear we could keep her! We are all a little smitten! After much discussion we finally agreed to call her Jetta- a mix of Jedi and Jada. She has the prettiest coat and lovely green eyes.

Little Man

Our Jackie is 6 months and popped two teeth out!

Like his brothers he is not a great teether. When he is teething he is up more at night, fun for mama! He is such a busy boy that I actually do not mind the little extra time at night to cuddle with him (within reason). He is scooting backwards and in 360 degree circles. He can really move but gets frustrated that he is not moving forward. Jack is eating great and loving his zippy cup of water. Too bad he will not take a bottle or a cup of milk. Stinker! His brothers love him dearly and he cannot help but laugh when they are around. One day Joey was crying and looked at Jack only to receive a huge smile. He then stopped crying and said, "My baby makes me feel better!" Jack pulls the boys' hair and tries to take toys out of their hands but they do not mind it one little bit. They just smile at him and give him kisses! We love our baby!

Christmas 2013

We headed to Ohio again for Christmas. The boys were all sick and did a great job in the car! (We might just need to be sick before every trip to Ohio.) Beyond the drive the sicknesses kept us from taking our visit to Zanesville and visiting some other friends. I think the boys had a great Christmas overall.

Thanksgiving 2013

Uncle Robbie and Aunt Jane came to Nashville to visit us this Thanksgiving! The boys were very excited to be able to spend some time with their uncle! The high lights of dinner were the smoked and fried turkey and hot chocolate in my paternal grandmother Meme's china tea cups.

Thanksgiving Performance

The boys had their annual Thanksgiving performance. This was Joey's first time on stage. They both did a great job. Joey sang one of 5 songs, which we were pleasantly surprised to see. The song was If You are Happy and You Know It. Check out the video and pictures below.

Halloween 2013

This year for Halloween the boys were a Police Officer, Bat and a Pumpkin. We went trick or treating on November 1 because of bad weather on October 31. We went with our friends again this year. Trick or Treating started with supper and play at August and Miller's house. When we hit the road to trick or treat Jacob really had a great time running from house to house. Joey let Daddy carry him most of the way and sweet Jackson slept on Mommy the whole time. Once we got home we counted the candy and each picked one to eat before bed!

Pumpkin Patch 2013

Took the yearly trip to Gentry Farm in Franklin, Tennessee to hit the pumpkin patch and get our yearly pumpkins. Jacob and Daddy did all the work. Joey is not cut out for manual labor so he stood on the sidelines. (Maybe it was also the fact that he was pretty tired and it was pretty hot.) We picked up the pumpkins and then had some fun in the activity area. We could not leave with out a hayride. Oh, what fun!
