Handsome Little Jacob

Just a quick blurb about something cute Jacob said...

The other day he & Abby were playing with playdough and he ran up to me and said "Look Mommy, I made you a handsome, little Jacob. Isn't he sweet?" In his hand he had a little ball of yellow dough with some red on it. He had made a little statue of himself. Very cute!

Trip to the Air Museum

Robins AFB has a really nice Museum of Aviation, so Saturday we packed up the kids and headed out. Our first stop was Subway where we picked up some subs for a little picnic. We ate ate the covered picnic area and then the kids played on the swings. After that we had a quick tour (Abby & Jacob ran from airplane to airplane). It is a very nice museum with lots of exhibits and aircraft. It was really incredible to have a glimpse into Air Force history. Steve & I plan to return when the kids are not with us so we can spend time reading all the info about each display.

Other than that we had a realtively quiet weekend. Blake is in S.C. and we really missed him, but Steve just spoke to him and he's having a nice time hanging out up there. Jacob got his hair cut at a place called "Sweet & Sassy." I think that will be Abby's new hair place, but Jacob will be more in his element at the base barber shop.

Doctor visits and Valentine's!

Yet another busy week at the Copeland's! Both Abby & Jacob had to go to the doctor. Abby had a small infection on her knee and when Dr. Tuckey came in and introduced himself she said, "Tuckey is a state." Of course, Steve, the Dr. and I cracked up and I told her Ken-"tuckey" is a state. Very cute. Jacob went for his four year check-up. He was such a big boy and after he got his shots. He said they hurt, but was very proud of his three band-aids and two stickers.


All week Abby & Jacob were very excited about Valentine's day. They made cards for their friends and decorated hearts for the wall at school. They had a party on the 14th. I ordered special allergy free cupcakes (very yummy) and candy from divvies.com. They each got a little stuffed animal and a book for V-day. Jacob took his little stuffed puppy to the doctor. Steve sent me flowers and a balloon for Valentine's Day. Blake offered to babysit for us, but Steve and I stayed in and watched a DVD while Blake kept the kids occupied. They did "artwork" which the kids love to do.

A & J making their hearts for school!

Blake was out of school today and Steve and I had the day off. So, the three of us went to eat lunch at Zen (a Japanese steakhouse). The food was pretty good, but we miss Samurai of Tokyo and Benihana! After that we went to the movies and saw "Michael Clayton." It was ok, but some of us found it hard to follow. We had a nice day spending time with Blake.


Tomorrow Blake leaves for S.C. for his winter break. Steve & I are planning on doing some unpacking and taking Abby & Jacob to do some fun stuff. Happy President's Day to everyone!

Busy Weekend (Again)

Friday I had to work until 11pm, so Steve, Blake, Abby, & Jacob had to drive half way to Blake's mom's house to meet Patrick so Blake could go up for Logan's b-day. I felt terrible that Abby & Jacob had to spend so much time in the car. I just could not get out of working late.

Saturday, I had a hair appointment at Awaken Salon. It is always so hard to find a place I love to get my hair done when we move. I think I got lucky this time and am very happy with Awaken (and Jon who did my hair). Then, we took Abby & Jacob to Monkey Joe's, which is a place with eight blow up bouncers/slides. They had a blast. After all of that excitement we were very hungry so we stopped in to eat lunch at a place called "Fatz Cafe." The food was delicious and I had fried green tomatoes... YUM!

Today, Abby & I got up early to go grocery shopping. Steve had to drive back to pick up Blake, so the kids & I did some chores and unpacking. When Steve & Blake got home, Jacob was sleeping so Dad & Abby took a spin on the 4-wheeler. Tonight we will get ready for the week. This weekend went by so quickly... we will be ready for the long weekend next week.

We're Here

Well, it has been a long time and a lot of things have happened since our last post. We had a wonderful Christmas in Arkansas with Meemaw, Grandpa and Uncle Dustin. Dylan flew out and we were able to all spend Blake's 15th birthday together. Steve, the big boys and I went to see "National Treasure 2" on Blake's b-day. Then the whole gang went to eat Mexican and then to visit Grandpa, who had to work.

Christmas was so much fun! Meemaw gave everyone a box to put their goodies in and Abby spent the entire time organizing her box. Jacob and Blake played Santa. Each time Jacob opened a gift he LOVED it... "Oooo, look at this... Thank you!" he would say. Poor Dylan had a terrible cold and he was exhausted.


Jacob had a small 4th birthday party with family at Chuck E. Cheese. Dylan was able to come down from S.C. so that was really nice. I made Jacob some egg-free cupcakes, but they weren't the best.

Once we got to Georgia things became crazy, but everything has worked out and we bought a beautiful home. Grandpa came down this weekend to help us move in. Blake, Abby and Jacob are all settled in their schools. Steve and I are working (not settled in, but working). We miss all of our Texas friends... Now that we're back online I will try to do better keeping up with the blog.
