Jacob's Last Soccer Game

Jacob played his final game yesterday.

He is a real go getter...

and a fierce competitor...

"Monkey Boy"

We really need to get them a fort/climbing set for the yard. We are in negotiations for a trampoline. (with a safety net Memaw)

There is something about black and white photos and little boys...

And big boys too!

It took me awhile, but I am finally posting our beach pics. We had a great time, but it would've been better if Anthony had been able to come.

Even hotel hallways are fun when you are on vacation!

Jacob writing messages in the sand. It says, "take us to Hawaii". Apparently, Hilton Head wasn't quite good enough. Though, as soon as we got in the car to head back to NC they were asking when we could come back...

I asked Eli what he would think if it we had a boy ... he prompltly said, "no, I already have a brother to love." They are both looking forward to a sister, but we will not find out until June 17th. The c-section has been scheduled as well. I go in at noon on October 26th (Monday). It is somewhat strange knowing when the baby's birthday will most likely be. It is much easier to plan!
Looking at my last post (late March) it says that we were getting ready to start our landscaping project. Well, now it is finally (almost) done. We really didn't get everything together and ready to plant until last week. A lot of the hold up has been the rain. But, it is finally finished - all we have left is to add a few bags of touch-up mulch.
We also successfully got our small front garden planted. We will be cutting our first heads of broccoli very soon. The seeds for the large bottom garden are on the kitchen counter, but again, rain... We will be planting corn, half-runners, okra, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, squash, canatloupe, pumpkins, watermelon and a few others in the larger one. We already have the broccoli, peas, lettuce, jalpenos, beets, tomatoes, cauliflower and strawberries coming in strong up top. I feel like a little farmer girl!
Most of Jacob's soccer season has been cancelled due to rain. He has only been able to play 4 out of a possible 10 games. This includes 2 make up games they have cancelled. A lot of the practices have been called as well. He really enjoys playing. Hopefully next year they will have a more regular season.
Anthony is calling us for steak quesadillas. Another update and pictures coming soon!
