Memphis Fan Day

The Work Family visited The University of Memphis for Tigers Fan Day. It was a hot afternoon, but we had a lot of fun. Jake has grown so much since last year. Next year, he will take on the big blow up slide! He was a little scared of the big blow-up tiger, but was very interested in the real tiger. Paulo is Jake's favorite player. He even got to help the players sign autographs.




Playing Outside

Jacob loves outside play time. We spend at least an hour every night outside playing. He loves to play in the sprinkler, pool, use sidewalk chalk, and go for walks. Michael and I both love to take him to the Elementary School to play on their playground. A favorite there is the steering wheel. He really drives well!

Lord of the Swine - Memphis in May Champions

This is a delayed post (as most of mine are). The Lord of the Swine BBQ team won the Memphis in May Cooking Competition this year! Congrats! There was an article in our local paper and we made the news. Scott is one proud papa, and Jen is enjoying dusting that huge trophy. Jacob got to enjoy the ribs this year; he likes BBQ thank goodness. Monetary donations are being accepted for next year's contest :)

Summer is Almost Over

The Work family's summer vacation is almost over. It has been a busy and exciting summer, too. Michael and Zack (with help from Jacob) have ripped out carpets and laid new flooring in the house. It looks awesome and is finished!!


Here Jacob is helping select the flooring at Lumber Liquidators. This was a much nicer shopping trip than the paint store.

Jacob has discovered that he enjoys sweeping. He is very helpful with clean-up efforts.



Michael Work's word to the wise "Square rooms are easy - not so square rooms are not, and hallways really stink!"
