We have been so busy lately! We came home from the Panhandle on Sunday and then on Wednesday my mom and grandma came up for a few days! Jerrett loves his Grandma and his Grandma M very much and is always excited when he gets to see them. And this was the first time that Grandma had ever seen our new house! They got here Wednesday mid afternoon and we just hung out and played with J until dinner time and close to time for TJ to get off of work. Mom took us to eat Mexican food! It is so much fun to see how much J has my mom and grandma wrapped around his little finger. They let him get away with so much more than we were ever able to! So after we ate it was time to come home and play some more. When it was time for a bath J wanted mom to give him his bath. So I got a little time to spend with my grandma.
Thursday morning we got around and packed a picnic lunch and went to the park. There is the nicest little park about 15 minutes from our house. It has a little stream that runs through it and a small lake. There are play things and ducks to feed. Since it was a weekday, there were hardly any people at the park. J got to play on everything that he wanted. I love getting to sit and watch my mom go down the slides with J and swing on the swings and just to love on my little boy. Once J got tired and hungry we brought out the picnic and sat by the water to eat. If you know our boy than you know that he doesn't sit still long. After lunch he and grandma M went wading. Due to all of the rain we have gotten that water was frigid!!! But the things that J can get people to do with him! So they waded and Mom and I sat on the bank with our feet in the water. We floated sticks in the rapids and watched them go over the little waterfall. Then we took bread to feed the ducks. They are the cutest little things!
Thwn off we went for nap time. It must have worn everyone out because we all needed to relax for a little while. Mom and I with books and Grandma M and J took naps. Once J woke up we were off again. This time to Lowes to get flowers! Mom helped me to shape and plant a butterfly garden under Jerrett's bedroom window. He is so excited to see the butterflys, frogs and hummingbirds that like the flowers we planted. We also got Jerrett two different pools. One we filled with water so that he could swim and the other we filled with play sand so that he can have some dirt to play with other than what is in my flowerbeds. My dad is drawing up plans to build J a sandbox and fort like my brothers and I had growing up. But since he was not able to come when mom did this time, we will build that later this summer. But J's swingset was delivered on thursday! Tj and I built it on Sunday and can't keep J off of it now!
Anyway, we had so much fun just getting to visit with mom and grandma. J is such a lucky little boy to have them in his life! Just as they are blessed that he is in theirs. Grandma always talks about how J is not just a blessing to me and TJ but to the whole family. It is so nice to have such a wonderful upport system and to know that he is loved. Jerrett is the first grandchild and great grandchild on this side of the family so he is well loved! He deserves it though! I am one blessed momma. I have an amazing husband who I love more than anything, a wonderful son who is the center of everything that we do, and a family that is my rock. I know that I can do anything with them behind me. Even my tough as nails brothers melt into puddles whn J is around. He is such a blessing!
We had so much fun with TJ and my famnily lately. There are more plans in the works for being with family over the summer but what is next for us is church camp! We leave on June 20 to go to camp with 60+ youth plus J! Should be exciting!
