While I have a few moments...

We are LOVING our time with Nana and Papa. The weather hasn't been as nice as we would like, but its not been terrible.

Here is a recap of our time thus far. Monday was actually a nice relaxing day. We knew that Nana and Papa would be a little tired from their very long drive. So we hung out here at the house and had lunch with my parents. We had one of my favorite meals beef brisket, cheesy scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole and cornbread! I can hear all of your stomachs growling right now, b/c mine is doing it as well! That evening we went to Velma and showed them our house. (That hopefully we will be in soon.) We had dinner at the Chuck Wagon.(No Phil no one ordered a Sooner Tailpipe) Tuesday, we headed to Ardmore to do a little shopping. We got Jackson's 1 yr pictures developed. We bought the frame and matte to have everyone sign for his 1st birthday. We had lunch at Braum's. Its a lot like Dairy Queen. Then we came home. That afternoon we played outside and took Scooby and Zoe for walks. The dogs are loved right now, b/c they have their Nana and Papa's attention. That night we went to Byron's basketball game. Wednesday we went into Duncan to order Jackson's John Deere birthday cake. That night we went to church. Thursday we headed up to Oklahoma City. We bought all of Jackson's birthday party supplies, shopped at Mardel's christian bookstore, and showed them around. They were quite amazed as to how cheap living is around the OKC area. Just to let you know 1 acre lots were selling for $45K. The houses in the neighorbood were no less than 2500 sqft. These houses were selling for just under $300K. After we did that we headed to some basketball games. It is State Tournament time and so we had to let them see how things are here. We saw some great players and pretty good games. Jaycee was wonderful all day. She had lots of fun with some new toys and also that her cousins were there. Jackson didn't do so well. Poor little guy is cutting some teeth. He was just miserable. He was so tired and just wouldn't go to sleep. So needless to say the ride home wasn't great either! For today, the guys went back to the State Tournament and us girls went and did the food shopping for Jackson's birthday party. We picked up his cake as well. We came home made up the food that we could tonight, decorated for the party, and hung out. We hope that by morning Jackson will be feeling much better. It won't be a lot of fun tomorrow if our birthday boy is all grumpy! We should have lots of pictures to post in the next few days! Enjoy the weekend!

Dana, I've been thinking about you all, non-stop since Andy and Marilee arrived. What fun you've been having - oh, the memories you're making!!! I can't wait to hear (and see) everything about Jackson's birthday party. The cake sounds darling!!! What joy to have everyone there to celebrate our precious little boy, Jackson. Makes my heart happy just thinking about it.
