Fun Weekend at Mimi and Pops House

Dad finally felt good enough to have us come down for the weekend, and we were all excited to see Mimi and Pops. As Jackson gets older, he's a little easier to travel with - not as much stuff to take and the car ride is fine as long as we have snacks and videos to watch. We got home on Friday evening and it took a little while for J to get acclimated to his new surroundings. He was very shy with dad, which was surprising. He knows them and has even started saying "mimi" and we might have heard a "pop" by Sunday afternoon.

This is what my childhood looked like! It was fun playing with mine and Sarah's old toys all weekend, and Jackson really enjoyed the poppers.

Jackson finally warmed up to Pops after bath time Friday night.

On Saturday morning, we went to Nannie's house to see her and our cousins, Chris, Shannon, Kayla, and Landon. We got to see them back in May when we went to Springfield, so again Jackson enjoyed being the center of attention.

He really thought he was big stuff here.

After a messed up nap schedule, we needed to get out of the house but it was too hot to go outside. So we all went to the Family Life Center at the church. Dad walked while Brent shot some hoops. Me and Mom chased Jackson around and threw the ball to him. If only he was wearing his Heat jersey!

Saturday night we were all pretty tired, and we had the cousins back over to play some more. J didn't go to bed until around 9 p.m., but after his bottle, we ended up watching the Gaithers. Dad laughed and said that he wasn't going to be like Pa, but here we were on a Saturday night watching a singing program. ha! (We used to watch Hee Haw every Saturday night at Ma and Pa's house).

On Sunday, we went to church and saw our friends there. Jackson was again a little shy acting, but he recognized Pops and went right to him. We had to have a photo session after church (because before wasn't happening). ha!
