5 Wonderful Years Together

Clay and I celebrated five years of marriage on August 9. I can't believe that it has been five years. God has blessed me with an amazing husband and a great father for my son. We have had some ups and downs during these five years, but we have come through stronger than ever. I am so glad that I was able to share it all with him. Clay, thanks for being an amazing husband and my best friend. I'm looking forward to the many years ahead we get to share with each other.

Gabby, Big and Heather took care of Jacob, so Clay and I could go celebrate our anniversary. We had a great night! He took me to eat at Fratesi's, then we went by Gaddytown (an upscale Chucky Cheese in Ridgeland) and then we went to the movies to see the Dark Knight (great movie). It had been a long time since we had spent some us time together. Date nights are so important in a marriage, and we are trying to make a huge effort in to have us time together once a week. Now that football season is here that is a lot harder, but so far so good.

Our Family

Jacob in my Project Room

I have been able to get in my Project Room and work on some stuff lately. Jacob decided that he needed to come in a help me. He pulled this plastic boxes out of the Target bag and decided that he needed to sit in them. He thought it was so funny. He is also learning to play on the computer too. He loves to look at pictures and videos of himself and of Perrin. Mary Ann has a webcam, so that we can see and talk to them. Jacob was watching Perrin one morning, and the webcam froze up. He got really upset that "Merrin" was not on the computer any more. He was screaming at the computer and then at me.

Jacob decided to put on Clay's shoes before his bath one night. He was so excited!

Nana, Jacob and Pappy

Clay's parents came and had supper with us one night.

We got some great pictures from the visit.

Jacob and Lillie Brooks

This is Maci's daughter Lillie Brooks. As most of you know, Maci and I have decided that they need to get married. At least that way, we would know that they were marrying into good families!!! Maci and Lillie Brooks came and spent the night with us on Friday night. We had a great time ... as you will see.

This is their first kiss. It was too sweet!

This picture cracks me up! Check out Jacob's face as she touches his shoulder. He is all boy!
They talked and talked and talked. They really had a good time together.

Jacob needed another kiss!
