Weekend Update

We have been very busy the past few days! Friday was Jackson's birthday so we started off the weekend with some over night guests, Nana & Gigi. We went to Fun City on Friday and let the boys play to their hearts content! They had a blast playing all of the games and running thru the tunnels. The cookie cake wasn't bad either! This was Harrison's first time here so he just rode the little kid rides.

Saturday morning started off with Jackson's 2nd season of soccer. Daddy wasn't feeling well so Nana and I were the lone cheerleaders but we handled it just fine. Jackson stayed up to late on Friday night so was not in the mood to play soccer at all. And then it happened, Jackson took a shot to the chest so hard that I think we all felt it! He was down for a quarter but rallied and played again in the last quarter. The Crew played a great game with a lot of help from their 2 newest members!

Saturday afternoon I took Gray to Chuck E Cheese for a birthday party. I almost didn't take him because he fell asleep and really needed the nap after the long night that he had but in the end I knew how badly I would pay if he woke up and realized he had missed the party...I'm glad we went, he had fun playing with his friends(esp. eating the cake with blue icing...we were seeing the return from that investment for 2 days!!). While we were enjoying that Gigi took Jackson shopping for a few new spring things so after that we met up at the park for the boys to play for awhile. Gigi decided to take the boys down to Alma for Saturday night to spend the night with Mom Freda, the boys had a great time getting to eat at "Crackerbox", aka Crackerbarrel and staying up late watching tv.

On Sunday we loaded Harrison up and went to claim our oldest 2 kiddos. Papa surprised the boys by showing up at Moms and this is what I found upon our arrival:

Papa had recently had a cold so Jackson had been really worried about him and asking about him daily...it was so cute. Before lunch Jackson and I walked across the street and he gathered some flowers for Mom Freda, he wanted to make a few more trips to get some for myself and Gigi but I convinced him that it was the thought that meant the most and that we really didn't need to pick all the flowers!

All 3 boys have had haircuts this week, Harrison and Gray on Monday night while Jackson played in another soccer game and Jackson tonight. H got most of his "baby" hair cut off and loooks like a little boy now. Jackson got to choose his hairstyle and well, a picture is worth a thousand words, right?

Harrison's hair was still wet from his bath

I think that about says it all, good night!
