4th of July

Well, I have quite a bit to catch up on since we have been gone for two weeks but the first stop in our journey across Texas was San Antonio for the 4th of July!
We went with Papa and Nana and had an awesome time at Mandy's house. I think Jackson would rather live at Aunt Mandy's (he did actually cry today when we came home from the store and realized that we weren't going to Mandy's house). Anyway, here are some pictures of all of the fun. There was excellent food, great company (Paul, Evan and Lauren also joined us), a wonderful home and lots of family fun. Thanks Mandy!



Papa, Jackson and Aunt Mandy out by the pool.



Jack and Nana.



Jackson loved riding with Josh on the "tactor."



Jackson loves to "hit balls" with Papa.



We couldn't get any good pictures of the 3 of us but this at least proves we were all together:)



Papa and Jack jumping in the "boune house."



Jackson and daddy love their snuggle time.



More "tactor" rides for Jackson.



Paul made Jackson's day by letting him vaccum with him.



Nana helping Jackson clean the pool.



Jackson and dunkin talking on the phone.



One of the delicious dishes Paul created for us.



My man:)



My happy little man.



Aunt Mandy helping Jackson to ride Dunkin.



I love this picture of Jackson and Papa.



Nana and Jackson in the bounce house.



Jackson in his full sun protection gear:)



Jax loves to relax on Mandy's super comfortable sofa at the end of each day.



An afternoon of golfing with Dadddy.



Mandy has tons of fun toys for the kiddos.



Jackson is always happy when daddy is around!

One funny story from this trip was when Mandy had several of the bakery staff over to have a few drinks out by the pool. Jackson after watching Jay shake hands with a few of the people went up to each one to shake their hands. It was super funny and everyone said that I must have taught him networking 101. The funniest was when he picked up one of the guys beers (note: he did not drink or try to drink any of the beer so no body needs to worry and email me about the dangers of children drinking:) and carried it with him while shaking a few other guys hands. The entire weekend anytime someone new came over Jax would immediately walk up to them and shake their hands and say "Yacksin" (Jackson). I love that funny little dude!

He is so precious! We all miss him so much. Make sure he doesn't grow up anymore before we see him next. He's getting too big. What a sweetie! Have him call us later.
