Jake's Weekend of Fun

2 Weekends ago, Jake got to go to the fair & meet this Gator Boys. Last weekend, he had another action pack weekend. It started Thursday night, when he got to ride down with his Dad & Granddad to the RV, which was in the infield of the Talladega race track. It was dark by the time they got there, but boy was he surprised Friday morning. He was at the RV &  he got to see race cars. Jake loves the movie Cars, so he was super excited.
Sitting on the viewing deck of one of the RV's that was parked with Rob's group
(Um, can we say extremely not kid friendly? Robbie said he was having a
heart attack the whole time Jake was up there. Rob wouldn't let him move from the seat.)




Jake kept looking for Lightening McQueen

He was not having fun at all
Jake was having so much fun, Robbie was scared that he would completely meltdown when it was time to leave. (Jake & Granddad were coming back to Birmingham Friday afternoon.) Thankfully, since my sister's husband Brooks was going to be with Robbie all weekend getting their redneck on in Talladega, Lindsey & baby Woody came to spend the weekend with Jake & me in Birmingham. Jake was super excited about Woody coming to visit!

...Until he realized that Woody is now mobile. And can grab things.
And take toys away.
(Look at those beautiful blue eyes on those sweet boys!)
I LOVED having my sister up. After the kids went to bed, we stayed up until 2 in the morning just laughing & talking. Such a wonderful time! Then on Saturday, my mom was coming up to go shopping with us. My dad was going to come up to watch Jake, so he figured he might as well bring the other 2 cousins as well! Jake, Maddox, Marrell & Dad spent the day at the park while mom, Lindsey, Woody & I shopped. Jake was over the moon to get to spend the day playing at the park & it be with M & M.

 On Sunday morning, Lindsey & Woody headed back to Atlanta.
Robbie was still in Talladega and the Bush's were in Auburn, so Jake & I had the whole day to ourselves. It's been so long since its just been the 2 of us, I wanted to just soak it all up. We decided to go to the McWane Center.
Jake wanted his picture in the fish's mouth
 I hope Jake enjoyed the last 2 weekends. They will be pretty hard to top, but I'm glad he's had so much fun. He is at such a fun age. He is old enough to appreciate and have a good time, but still young enough to be easily excited. He is such a sweet boy and kept telling me all weekend how much fun he was having. This is such a fun age & we are just trying to soak up every minute of it!
