Jacob's Antics

Jacob's new favorite thing to do is turn the TV on and off again.  It is especially funny when he does it if Brett is watching something he's recorded.  Jacob will press the button and then look back at Brett and smile.  He'll turn it right back on again in 2 seconds. . . and then back off.  Since I could care less if the TV is on or not, it is funny to me :)

Jacob likes for Brett to push him around the yard in his little car while he goes golfing.

Chillin in my wheels. . .

Every time we go into Clint's store, Jacob heads straight for the Snicker's bars.  He takes them out of the box one by one, and hands them to whatever adult is standing nearby.  Clint has about 10 in his hands here.  Then he puts them all back in a heap in the box.  Uncle Clint is super sweet to him and loves when he comes by to say hey!

Go Jump in a Lake!

Every year, the Stephens County Literacy Foundation hosts a "Leap for Literacy" event at Lake Louise.  Groups raise money to have one person (or more) jump into Lake Louise in February.  Brett was nominated to jump for First Baptist.  So, on Saturday, Feb 16th Brett jumped in Lake Louise even thought the outside temp was 42 degrees and windy!!!!  The water temp was 37 degrees!  Miserable!

They decided to go with the theme of Duck Dynasty and wore camo and beards.  Nathan Ivester even jumped in with Brett just to be nice!

Freezing while getting ready to jump.

Saying that they are "happy, happy, happy to support literacy!"

Walking the plank. . .  (with EMTs very close by)

Running for the cannonball!

Getting out super quickly. . .

to get to the hot tub!  I told Brett later that I would only start talking about jumping in the lake fo $1000, and that was if I got to keep all the money.  Brett said he would start thinking about throwing me in for $300!  I told him I would probably never forgive him. . . he smiled and said, "sure you would!"  I believe I'll watch my back in Febuary at Lake Louise :)

Hannah Beth turns 1!

I can't believe it's been a year since little Hannah Beth came into the world!  On Feb 9th, we headed over to Steph and Bert's in Greenville to celebrate Hannah's b-day.  Steph did such a great job decorating the house with adorable decorations.  Jacob didn't appreciate all that, but he sure remembered the toy room!

While Emily was helping Hannah open her presents, Jacob was camping out in the play room with other party guests :)

It's in the wrong order, but here is a great picture of the family outside.

Precious lady bug cake for sweet girl!

Hannah got a swing from Bert and Steph and just HAD to try it out.  As you can see, she loved it!

Jacob was insistent that he wanted a turn too!  He camped out right beside it until Hannah got out.

Happy to be me!

Here he is when we arrived to the party.  He was actually getting a little bit sick that day and ended up with a bad stomach virus by Monday.  We were really hoping that we didn't pass it along to Em & Hannah.

Emily was REALLY helpful for the opening presents time.

Jacob got Hannah some books for her birthday this year.

Toy room fun!

As you can see, Hannah was ready to get outside and try it out.

So, Paw Paw and Bert went to hang it on the tree.  It was such a super fun party to celebrate sweet baby girl's b-day!  We love you Hannah Beth!
