Jackson's Birthday Party!

Jackson had a John Deere party! Everything was great, except for the birthday boy! The poor little guy was cutting some teeth. So he was not a happy camper. We were able to get him to sit by his gifts and play with them for a few moments. We got some pictures of him with the cake, but that was about it! We all had a lot of fun. It was great to have the family there celebrating our little guy. I can't believe in 6 days he will be 1 yr. old! That is so crazy! So sorry that I haven't gotten pictures added. I really do hope to do that soon. The weather has been so nice here its been hard for us to stay indoors!

I will finish out the time we had with Nana and Papa. After Jackson's birthday party, Byron and Andy headed to Oklahoma City to watch the State Championship games in basketball. It was a nice and relaxing evening for Marilee and I. Jackson was pretty grumpy, but he did sleep a lot. Both kids actually had really great naps. This might have been my favorite day while they were here. Marilee and I had great conversation and drank our coffee. I really miss my mom-in-law. We have good talks on the phone, but nothing beats talking face to face.(Laughing and crying together) Sunday we didn't make it to church b/c I just didn't think Jackson would make it. By that afternoon he was doing a little better so we went into Duncan to shop and to play at some parks. We went to a park first. We were there for a while and then we had to make a few shopping stops. For Jaycee to leave the park happy we told her we would stop at another park before we went home. Well, by the time we made 3 stores and had Braum's milkshakes I think all of us were ready to head home. Not Jaycee, the girl that has an amazing memory, she looked at me and said another park. Byron was throwing away our trash and when he came back Jaycee said another park daddy its not dark yet! So we were like okay we have to keep our word. So going out the door Jaycee is saying I do I really really do want to go to another park. So we stopped at a park on our way home. She had tons of fun. Byron told her she had 2 more slides and then it was time to go. So she did one slide and then decided that she wanted to swing. So she swung for a VERY long time. Daddy never mentioned not swinging! So its so cute to watch how her little mind works! Its amazing at times! So Monday we headed for the Chuck Wagon for lunch, once again no one tried the Sooner Tailpipe. (Phil, I think you are the only brave one in the family) Monday evening we just hung out around here, had pizza, and finished off Jackson's birthday cake with ice cream. Tuesday we got up and headed to Oklahoma City. We ate at Chili's (one of my favs) and went to Gordman's. Which has now become one of Marilee's favorite places to shop! Its the best! So all of you in the Northwest need to start pushing to get one! Maybe you don't need to do that. If we are the only one's that have it then it is a MUST stop when Nana and Papa come to visit. So that means I get to shop as well! Well, I think that has wrapped up our time with the family. I really will try to get some pictures up. I know Aunt Ann is really wanting to see them!
