Matthew's Turkey Project

 To celebrate Thanksgiving this year, Matthew was assigned to build a turkey to display in his classroom.  He totally got an A on this project!

I immediately passed this project on to Sam as a father/son bonding moment and it worked beautifully!  Sam is so creative and Matthew was right beside him the whole time helping with their creation and giving his ideas.  His turkey was the biggest in the class and everyone loved its feet!

Strrrrrrrrrrrrrrrretch!!!

Cuddling with papa

 I love the STRETCH!!!

 Sweet baby boy!

Bex the Reader

Rebecca stole Emily's glasses to read her book today.  I thought this picture of Bex was just beautiful even though the book she chose to read is about 4th grade level and her eyes are probably blurry while she reads along!  She thought she was pretty hot stuff!  Love this girl!

Jacob Hangin' with the Family

 These two are inseparable!  I have to beg Sam just so I can hold little Jake!

 The girls givin' him some lovin'

 Emily with baby Jake - he was just so tiny!

 Sunday afternoon nap for my boys.  I caught these 3 snoozing on the couch while I was working that afternoon and had to sneak a few pictures!  Matthew sure loves his baby brother and Sam!  They are all going to be such great pals!

Sam doesn't know that I'm posting these sleepy Sam pictures, but it's just too adorable to resist!  Jacob fits right in to this family and I couldn't be happier!!! 

Cute Baby Pictures

 This is one of my favorite outfits on baby Jake! 

 Monster Jacob!

 Sleepy time!

 Snoozing in the bassinet

This adorable creature is so tiny, but still finds a way to take up our entire bed!  I wouldn't have it any other way!!! 

Ellisor Elementary Fun Run

Grandma, Rebecca, Jacob and mom went to join Emily and Matthew in their Fun Run fundraiser today!

 Grandma and Bex did a lap together

 Here is Emily cruising around the field while mom and Jacob took a little break!

 Emily ended up completing 25 laps and was dying from the heat at the end!  Such a super trooper!

 Later in the afternoon, we made it to Matthew's Fun Run.  He had fun pushing Jacob a couple laps!

 Here he is cruising!  We love supporting the kids at school!  They worked hard to raise money this year!

Veteran's Day 4th Grade Choir

 Monday morning had us up early to head to the elementary school - this was Jacob's 1st big outing and he was just 5 days old!

 We did make it through the choir performance without any screaming (from Bex or Jake) and Emily sang so beautifully!

Emily loved having Grandma here to watch her choir perform and honor all the men and women who have and continue to serve our country!
