Family, Fun, and Food!

This past weekend we celebrating Granddaddy's 80th birthday.  Saturday we went to the lodge and had a birthday brunch.  It was such a surprise to him because he thought he was coming to the lodge for a breakfast meeting.  He had no idea that we were planning a party for him.  There were about 50 people that attended the party.  Jackson had a great time running around the lodge in his walker and charming all the ladies that were at the party.  He played so hard that he fell asleep at the end of the party in my arms.  He napped there for about 30 minutes and we headed over to my grandparents house to continue visiting.  We all sat out on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful weather and some great laughs.  Jackson ran all over the deck in his walker.  After our visit we left and returned home to rest before going out to dinner with the family.  Because our reservations were so late, Jackson stayed at home with his Nanny Toot.  He had an awesome day and seemed to have so much fun!!

Did I mention that Jackson discovered Queenie's water bowl this week?  I think the picture pretty much sums up that story.

On Sunday evening Jackson was playing in his walker and this is what I discovered.  He was walking around carrying our tax papers we just received this week.  One must understand that everything he puts in his tray on the walker usually ends up in the floor or pushed up under the couch.  It was kind of funny that we discovered him carrying around that purple folder.

I also have to mention that Jackson has selected a stuffed animal out of his basket in his room.  He picked out a white lamb and doesn't mess with the other animals.  He carries the lamb around with him when he is in his walker and it never ends up being thrown in the floor (as most other toys do).
