Our weekend was a combination of great and not so great. First we headed off to OK for a visit with family and friends. We get about an hour down the road and I realize that the camera battery is dead. Would not be a problem if we had just a cheapy camera that took normal batteries but nope mine has a battery that looks like a cell phone battery and I did not want to have to track down a Bedfords or any other camera store just to buy a new battery. so no pics of this past weekend. I was pretty bummed. TJ had taken off on Friday and so we headed to OKC pretty early. We got there early enough to go to the mall and do a little shopping. Jerrett did really well. After the shopping, we headed to Piedmont to see our good friends and their new little baby Rhett. WE got about 5 min from the mall and all of a sudden a dude rear ended us. No one was hurt and not really much happened to the car. Jerrett didn't cry or anything. He told me, "I am ok mommy. It scared me a little but I am ok." He is too cute! So we had to wait for over an hour for a stinking cop to get to the scene. After he was done we were off again. We got to the Harps and got to love on Jaylee and baby Rhett for a little while. Jerrett did really good with the baby. He had never been around one that small before. It was fun though.
Once we left the Harps we headed on to Clinton to see Mom and Dad and the boys. Jerrett got to meet my brothers as well as Grandma and Grandpas dogs. They have a really big one and a little one. And that was Jerretts names for them. Big and little. It was pretty funny. We were a little worried about taking Jerrett somewhere and staying the night just due to his not having been with us for very long yet. He needed quit a bit of reassurance that this was Grandma and Grandpas home and that Jerretts home was with mommy and daddy. Over all he did wonderful! Saturday morning TJ's dad or PaPa came down to Clinton to meet Jerrett and have lunch. Jerrett loved his PaPa. They talked about cows and tractors and then Terry went back to my parents with us and Jerrett showed him his farm toys. We were so glad that Terry came down and saw Jerrett.
After nap on Saturday, Grandpa packed up Jerrett and invited my mom and I along. We took Jerrett to the ice cream shop and then to the park. This was when I really wished that I had my camera! Seeing my parents climb all over the playground equipment, going up and down the slides and just enjoying their grandson. Jerrett loves my parents and speaks about them all the time. He wants to call them at least once a day and anytime I am on the phone he tells me that he wants to talk to his grandma. He is so blessed to have grandparents that love him and want to spend time with him! He has never had grandparents and so this is a big deal for him,
Sunday we went to my grandmas house for a small family get together. Jerrett got to meet his great grandma and aunt and uncle and cousin Taylor. Actually I guess it would be his great uncle as Don is my dad's brother. Anyway, that doesn't really matter. He was one loved on little boy and he soaked it all up. He was so good even though he had not taken a nap all day! Grandma and Aunt Tami had arranged a Toy story theme for the day. He had a cake that was made by a lady that my aunt knows. It was amazing!!! I wish I was that talented. The best part of the day though was just getting to see my uncle. He has recently had some pretty serious health issues and it was great to see him up and going. God is good and now my uncle is on the mend. Jerrett loved getting to play with Taylor. Taylor is 18 and just so much fun to be around. She had him climbing trees and running around outside.
After that we headed home. We left relatively early so that Jerrett could be in bed close to on time. Well we got home and opened t he front door and was about knocked over by a horrible smell. Sometime while we were gone, the fridge quit working so everything had thawed and rotted. Great times. Jerrett and I went and got a new fridge yesterday. Just what I wanted to do! Oh well. I refuse to let a car accident and a bum fridge over shadow the amazing blessing of getting to spend time with the people that we love most in the whole world. People keep saying how blessed Jerrett is to have us but if you ask anyone in my family, and they will tell you that we are the ones that are blessed.
