A day at Uncle Bubba’s

Yesterday was a sun up to sun down kind of day.  The boys and I drove to Charlotte to Uncle Bubba’s, Aunt Joanie’s and Jackson’s house.  Bradley was so so excited to spend the day with his big cousin.  We got to catch one of Jackson’s pee wee football games.  Although they look like they are in the NFL out there.  They get their name son their jersey’s and even support breast cancer awareness month just like you see the pro’s do during their games.  In case you are wandering about the pink socks! Here are the pictures.  Glad we got to go while Grammy was in town so she had all her boy grandsons together at once.  She see’s those beautiful girl granddaughters of hers in Maryland all the time ;).  Days like these make it hard living away from family.

Easton “looking up” to Jackson.

At the game.  Aunt Joanie spoiling the boys with Swedish fish and Grammy holding Easton.

Jackson wearing his number 44 like his daddy had growing up.  Always # 44.  Glad they were able to choose and keep it in the family.

017

My little nephew is all big and grown up and a sweaty football player now.

This was the closest I got to any action shots and they are in a time out! I was either holding Easton or chasing Gavin.

Huddle.

After the game.  Unfortunately I don’t think Bradley understood the game enough.  He ran around the track with Grammy a few times. 

028

Gavin with Uncle Bubba.  He said his name like 100 times yesterday and says it very clear.  Uncle Bubba had a little shadow for the day.

After the game we went back to the house.  The boys played outside while dinner was cooking up. 

They live in a very quaint neighborhood with sidewalks.  Right after we got back to the house Jackson’s friends rang the doorbell asking if he could come out to play. 

They live on a golf course and the golf day was over so they get to utilize all this space.  It was a very beautiful day too!

Gavin did not want to hang with the big boys so he just ran up and down the hill making the fat on his cheeks bounce while he ran.

Doing football plays and Bradley has no clue what is happening!

I don’t know why Gavin does this but he pretends “night-night” a dozen times a day. 

It is so cute! Hopefully Aunt Joanie will agree even after she sees her pillow on the floor!

Easton just crawled and explored this new place he was in.

Gavin got an early birthday gift.  He loved the puppy on the box so much that he gave it a kiss.

 082

We actually played with it this morning, THANK YOU!

Then after dinner we drove two hours back home and the boys didn’t make a peep the whole time.  They were all three so out of it that I got to crank the radio up loud. 

It was a great and tiring day but then again, that is all my days with these three!

Love you Bubba, Joanie, Jackson and Grammy!

That is so cute how Gavin was with Nathan. He did have a little shadow didn't he?
Glad you had a great day with your family. :)
