Whole fam to Tiger Town!

We loaded up the whole family for Clemson late Friday afternoon!  We were lucky to be invited to stay with our friends whose parents have a condo right in Clemson on the lake.  It's the perfect scenario - it's right in town, on the water, can take the children to the game, but then back to have late naps with sitters while we enjoy some kid-free time tailgating and walking around downtown!!  It was the perfect weekend!

Champs had a ball playing with Mac, their 2 year old, and Jack enjoyed watching the boys play.  He has really mastered crawling now and was moving all over the place by Sunday!

We also lucked out that we had my parents West Zone tickets since they weren't going to the game this weekend.  We had so much fun showing the boys around Clemson - both at the game and on Sunday before we headed back to Columbia.  I know we will spend many a Saturday in Clemson with these boys!! 

Though the boys are little and I only got to see about a quarter and a half of the game, I sure LOVED being back in Tiger Town!!!











































He was making us laugh telling us he was just relaxing and having his Clemson "ba-nilla" ice cream!

Lately with the boys

I think the biggest things as of lately are:
- Jack FINALLYYYYYYY sleeping all night (with a couple of paci-pop in's early in the a.m. or either bringing into my bed to snuggle for the last hour 6-7am)
- Jack really starting to crawl and wanting to pull up
- Jack holding his own cup and bottle if he's laying down but let's be honest, I still like giving him his bottle :)
- Champs really starting to adore his brother and telling him "I love you Jack" and smothering with kisses totally unprovoked!
- Champs getting back into the groove with school and not having the 2+ hour agony of dreading it that he had for over a week!
- Champs is starting to say all these big words but not necessarily using them correctly.  Hysterical!   The other day he told me "he didn't recognize it was time to wake up from his nap."  And then he said the football player "completely caught the ball."  He did ask me about having all the "ingredients" for cookies the other day, so that was used correctly.  What else....I'll have to add to this one as I think of more!

Love these boys so much it's crazy!  They make me laugh oh so much.  My favorite thing to do is watch them playing when they don't know I'm watching and to listen to Champs talk to Jack! :)  Jack absolutely lights up anytime Champs pays him any attention. 


Brother baths!

Clean baby!
