1st Major Bicycle CRASH!


If you will look closely at Jacob's left elbow you will be able to see 1 of 3 battle wounds from his first real bicycle wreck. Jacob wanted to ride his bike last week when Trista went for her evening walk. She had Lauren in the stroller and Jacob was on the bike. Well, Jacob got to the top of the hill before his mother and when he got there first she thought that he would stop and wait for her. Well he didn't wait and it is all down hill from there. He was going down hill fast and didn't know how to stop so Trista yelled at him to turn his wheel into the grass. When he turned his wheel he ended up flipping about 3 times. His elbow was probably the worst of the wounds. It scared his mother to death. So when she finally got to him she put him in the stroller (covered in blood) and hung his bike on the stroller and headed back up the hill for home. When she called me I could tell that it had scared her alot. She said that everything seemed to be in slow motion. He wasn't crying when she called me but when she got him on the phone so that he could tell me what had happened he started crying for MeMe. That always makes us Grandparents happy to know that our little angels love us so much.

Trout, Trout, Trout



This is a picture from Roaring River when we took Jacob with us to visit Mom & Dad and to take him Trout Fishing. His NaNa Blevins bought him a book for Christmas called "Trout, Trout, Trout" and he loves for us to read to him. Trista is always saying, "Jacob Neal Blevins don't talk to me like that," so while we were at the river one day fishing he was getting a little too close to the edge for MeMe and I told him to scoot back a little bit. He turned around and told me "MeMe don't say me like that!" It sounded just like Trista telling him "Jacob don't talk to me like that." He managed to say the same phrase to me a couple of times that weekend. Right now he is saying, "What the heck," and everything is "Why come?"

Our little cheerleader!


I guess she is going to follow in her mother's footsteps. Sometimes though I think that she is tough enough to be a football player. If she gets mad enough she can give Jacob a run for his money. PaPa Freeman is a little concerned about her wearing an OU cheerleading outfit, because as most of you know he is a loyal ALABAMA fan!
