A picture of Mom and Dad
John and Emily...
Here is Mom and Maggie enjoying some time on the water. Maggie has been such a good girl on this trip! She started sleeping through the night last week and it has made such a difference (at least in my life it has!). Here she is wearing her hat, which she later chewed on for quite a long time.
Here is a picture of Brent riding "big bertha." He had quite an interesting stance on the tube, but I have spared you that picture. As usual, he got sunburned on our first day down here...
Here is a picture of Jacob and Brent fishing. Jacob had quite a time playing with the night crawler worms. He let them crawl all over his arm, etc. Funny thing is he wouldn't hold a frog!
Jacob enjoys sitting inside the tube while in the water but we have managed to actually get him in the water some and he does pretty well. He really likes holding onto his noodle and he LOVES playing with tubes of sunscreen, which he calls his chapstick and rubs on his face nonstop. At least he is protected. (They actually look like a fat tube of chaptstick...we're not letting him play with lotion sunscreen...)
Here are Jacob and Emma eating some strawberries in sync.
John and Emily got to spend a few days with us before heading for a 2 week tour of Europe. At least our arm pits won't be as hairy as the folks they'll encounter over there...that, and we actually like Americans.
And here is Jacob with his hands in the air, ready for his arrest. I tried loading the picture with his hands behind his back but I kept having problems...
Dad (Grandaddy) with Maggie...
Me and "the grad" at his party...we even hummed the graduation song as he walked around in his cap and gown.
Here are a few pics of our firstborn Jacob. I felt I should post some recent pics of him since the last two posts have been mostly about Maggie. 
He's running around in his daddy's shirt in this photo...and decided to show a little shoulder. Gonna be a heartbreaker one day!!
Maggie having a visit with great Granny Murphree.
Jacob is always looking for new ways to accessorize. Here he is sporting a watch and bracelet on his ankles and some fancy rings on his toes. Watch out Project Runway!
Time for summer fun! Brent rigged Jacob's slide so that it lands in his pool and Jacob has had a blast playing in it so far.
Well this picture just makes me sad because Jacob looks like such a big boy. He is ready to go to church with his back pack and all...even saying "cheese" for the camera. 
Here's little Maggie with her cereal beard. Seriously, most of it ends up on her face or bib. We're not getting a lot in that stomach yet...
Here Jacob is enjoying some "ice crean" with Grandaddy the banker. Yes, Jacob can now tell us the profession of his family members. For example, "Jacob, who is the preacher?" He'll answer "Pop!", etc.
Awwww, here's Maggie ready for church this past weekend. I must say that she is adorable in this picture!
Here's Maggie showing off her smile. Her Daddy got her laughing good for this picture (note...this would be what Brent would look like if he ever smiled for a picture...ha!!!)
And all three of us...
So, below you'll see a cake I made on Friday. I bought some new tools and wanted to try them out so I made a cake and it turned out to be one of the prettiest ones I've done so far. The congratulations is for Brent graduating with his master's degree and also making it into a prestigous leadership academy for upcoming principals. Way to go honey! (oh, the blob at the bottom is supposed to be a star...I had extra icing and played around some...)
Jacob sporting his new Superman outfit (thanks Wesley) and munching on a granola bar.
Wesley stayed with us some yesterday and I got a shot of the boys tuning in to a video. Ahh...tv is the best babysitter ever...ha!
Jacob giving Maggie a kiss. He's very into kissing her these days...too cute.
Jacob smiling for the camera. He will pose a little better these day since he likes to look at his picture on the camera afterward.
