Our Trip to KC!

We headed out on Friday night to Ft. Scott and stayed with my in-laws.  Then we all got up on Saturday and headed to KC for a little family weekend getaway!



Jaxson playing with Uncle Zach's phone on the way to KC

Uncle Zach and Jaxson!












We did a little shopping when we got to KC to pass some time before we could check into our hotel.  We got checked in and met up with Ryan's old church pastor and headed to Arthur Bryant's BBQ!  YUMMY!

Jaxson guzzled everything with a straw all weekend!  Here is drinking Papa's drink!










We got back to the hotel and did a little swimming in the pool....


Jaxson getting ready to get in






















I took this picture as Jaxson was getting ready to get into the pool and as soon as my camera flashed I looked up and Jaxson was gone!
He didn't jump or lean into Daddy's arms, but walked right off the edge like it wasn't even there!  Daddy quickly scooped him up and no one was hurt, but we all took an extra sigh of relief



Grammy and Jaxson











Papa helping Jaxson down the stairs into the pool











Sunday we had breakfast with Uncle Dustin and Aunt Meg who drove up that morning and we all headed to watch the KC Royals play the St. Louis Cardinals.  Ryan's Dad and youngest brother are Cardinals fans so it was a nice rivalry.  The Royals won the game and we had a great time!  It was really hot there so we found some unoccupied handicapped seating where we could spread out and stay out of the sun with Jaxson.



Uncle Dustin and Jaxson at the stadium











Daddy and Jaxson riding the baseball bat and glove on the rides at the game.









I have a really great picture of him in his stadium seat, but it is on my phone so I'll have to send it later....



Uncle Dustin caught a flying Twinkie so here is Jaxson enjoying the Twinkie with Daddy...this is what he does when you tell him to smile for the camera.











Shoving the Twinkie in his mouth!!











I had to drive home with Jaxson by myself because Ryan was picking up a truck that he had sold from a dealership from Kansas City.  I was so worried about the whole drive home alone with him.  I thought he might sleep all the way home as he fell asleep before we ever left the stadium parking, but he sure didn't.  He was fussy for the first 30 minutes or so but after that he was an ANGEL!
 I just have to brag about my precious baby for a minute because Saturday night in the hotel he laid in his playpen alone in a strange place while his parents were in the room watching TV and put himself to sleep!  He was so good all weekend long even in the heat and being in the car a lot.  I am so blessed!





Here he is in one of the new outfits I bought him...so cute!  He also now has 2 of those hats since Grammy and I bought him one for the game and his fabulous Aunt Meg and Uncle Dustin brought him one to the game to keep him cool!












All night Monday he had this hat on and this glove...

"Daddy base-a-ball"  "hat"  " gofe"  (glove)  "Zach base-a-ball"

He must have had fun ;)



Can't wait until Grammy, Papa, and Zach come out next weekend for our 4th of July celebration!  This kid won't know what to do with both sets of Grandparents to have fun with!

Getting back to it....

I have really been bad about updating this blog lately...but GOOD NEWS!

I just added the ability to update my blog via my cell phone!  I had no idea I could even do that...I was playing around with a new design theme and header (which I still haven't decided on the perfect one :( ) and I found that option.  Lately, I have been taking fun little snapshots of Jax with my cell phone because it is usually more accessible than my camera and I can upload straight to facebook!  Well, now I can update you here also!
I know I don't have many readers and most of you are my facebook friends too so you don't miss out on much, but it is worth a shot!

So HOPEFULLY we'll have more new things to share with you very soon and a new blog layout if I can find something that I like!

Hope you all have a wonderful Father's Day weekend!
