Mother's Day Weekend



Oh what a wonderful weekend we had, this mother's day weekend.
On Friday, Nana came to watch the boys and we had a fun evening of just playing around the house. Saturday was swimming lessons- we learned how to jump into the pool. Last night we went to Nana's house and met Uncle Dave and Adam there for dinner- they brought their dogs, Baley and Blake- Shane and Jackson had a great time with all of the dogs. Both boys played with the dogs and Shane loved to follow Uncle Dave around the house saying Uncle Dave, Uncle Dave. A. Val and U. Terry stopped by for a brief hello and saw the boys as well. A big thank you to cousin Daniel for the leggos! They are awesome. After Shane and Jackson tore Nana's freezer apart and ran around the house about a million times we had dinner- Daddy's favorite: Chinese food from China Moon. It was a great night.

Today we went to the zoo and saw all sorts of animals. There is a little park at the zoo and i think that was the best part for the boys. By the farm they could go down the slide and see goats, pigs and bunnies as Jackson liked to point these out to complete strangers. I asked Jackson what the leopard said and Jackson replied "Meow"- close enough I guess. The bears were the highlight but a close second was the big bird Shane and I got to see up close. After our picnic lunch we saw more animals and headed home, now it is time for a visit with Grandma. We bumped into mommy's friend Jen and her family at the zoo- Jackson is on the left and Shane is on the right of Madison. The boys wore their wicked Smaht shirts from A. Val and U. terry.


Grandma and Grandpa were great! Grandma is home from the hospital and is looking more beautiful than ever. The boys had some fruit, played on the computer then we walked down the street to Pisa Pizza for dinner. Mommy and Daddy sat on one side of the booth and Grandpa, Jackson, Grandma and Shane all sat on the other side. Grandma had a smile on her face the entire time. Shane called Grandma Gamma tonight and I think she liked her special name. The played the pretend drums while waiting for the pizza and had a grand time with their drinks. At bed time Shane went right to sleep but Jackson sat on his bed singing songs- ABCs and the wheels on the bus- after each song he clapped for himself (he thought I was asleep). Too cute.
