Catch up



 Hallie's dog Abe cleans up the high chair.

 This was at Christmas time

 The first time I dropped Jacob and friends off at the movie theater by themselves.  My baby.
(L to R) Julian, Teagan, Miles, Jacob



 Maverick stopped wearing a bib forever ago, earlier than his mom would have liked.  But for some reason he would always wear this one at my house.  Of course, it's backwards here...


 Jon literally cut the tip of his finger off at work. Gross.

 First day of school, age 2

 I'm sure this has already been posted, but it was in my "not posted" folder, so whatever.

 We were watching the Grizzlies game one night and spotted Jacob's friend, Michael.  He has blond hair and a hat on, toward the left.

 He was in there, looking at his phone...







 Lucy was only in the 3rd percentile for the first few months of her life.  She is now in the 75th...

 We played some silly games at our work Christmas party and the lady sitting next to me and I won for the assistants team.  This earned us a lunch off campus.




 Teagan, Julian, Jacob.  Eating some more of those gourmet buttered noodles...

 Michael became friends with the person who owns the paintball park in town.  So for a fraction of the cost, they get to go play.


 End of the season basketball party.

 They were league and tournament champs.

 For the party, we rented out an old court that barely gets used.

 Getting his trophy.





 Fed Ex had a family day where the employees could bring their families to the airport and see the planes.


 This is Reese, she and her twin were 3rd graders this year.  They stole my heart last year in the cafeteria.  During teacher appreciation week this year, Reese drew this pic for the "cafeteria helpers" and drew a pic of me on there.  Super sweet.

 Jacob's class got iPads this year for the first time.  They were supposed to take selfie pics for their screen saver so it would be easy to tell who's was who's.  Of course this was the pic Jacob took.


 Jacob, Teagan, and Jacob making slime.

 If I remember correctly, it was close to midnight when they convinced me to take them to Walmart to get slime making supplies...


 Hallie teaches 3rd grade Sunday School at our church. I filled in for her when she went on maternity leave.  This is Jacob helping :)


 Jacob is at the top middle in the black.


 Jacob and friend Dax playing with his old toys that I had gotten out for Mav.


 For Valentine's Day I gave Jacob a free week of chores.

 We assistants are rarely together but on this particular occasion we were all helping in Kindergarten.  We are scattered down the hall.




Jacob's 13th birthday party trip

We decided to take Jacob and 2 of his friends on a weekend trip for his 13th birthday celebration instead of having a party here.  He was really excited about it, and I didn't have to clean my house after 8 boys spent the night.  Win-win for everyone.

We went to the Wilderness at the Smokies Lodge in Sevierville.  We had been a couple times before so we knew it was great.  I didn't take many pics, I concentrated on having fun.  Plus, since we have been before, I've taken all the pics.




 Gonzo gets very upset when he can tell we're leaving.


 The weather forecast had been saying that it was supposed to rain all weekend.  Thank goodness it was wrong.


 One morning Jon woke up early and attracted some ducks.  He woke Beau & me (Beau was the only of Jacob's friends he knew would appreciate it.  Beau fed them, and even crumpled up some poptart on his toes and they ate from there.

 We went to the car museum, again, Beau loved it more than the other two because his dad is really into cars.




 One morning we went to Waffle House for breakfast.  We had to sit at 2 separate tables and this is was the boys ordered.  They ordered everything on separate plates because they each ate a part of the others' meals. That is 10 different plates. 



 Beau, Jacob, Teagan.  We've known Beau since 2nd grade (5 years) and Teagan since 3rd (4 years). 










 A pic of the area that was burned from the fire set by teenagers the year before.























At one of the restaurants Beau told the waitress it was Jacob's birthday.  We were hoping they would sing.  They didn't, but she did bring him a sundae.
