6 Week Comparison

Jackson wanted to join in on the fun ... 

7 Week Comparison

Benjamin

Just some cute pics of Ben for everyone ... 

Preschool

Jackson had his first day of Preschool a few weeks ago and I had to document the special moment. He was so excited about his book bag and getting to ride the van to school.  His teachers say that he is a great listener and is learning to share really well.

MICKEY MOUSE

We went to a birthday party and Mickey Mouse showed up for a special visit.  We had a 50/50 chance that Jackson wasn't going to melt down and odds were in our favor that day.  He LOVED Mickey.

Grandpa Wine Visit

Grandpa Wine came to visit us and reunite with Grandma after 8 long weeks apart.  While I was excited for him to come out and meet Ben, I was sad because I knew that meant the end of Grandma Wine's stay was drawing near.

Our agenda for Grandpa being out where was pretty simple- sleep, eat, relax, repeat.  Apparently, we were all on the same schedule as Ben.  And it was great!

But we did manage to hit up a few favorites of ours.

First thing is first- we had to show Grandpa Wine the beach.

Digging a hole

Walking up and down the beach- probably chasing birds

Then we had to take Grandpa to Chuck-E-Cheese and have lunch at Red Lobster after.  YUM! Cheddar Biscuits!

Focusing on beating Grandpa

A new favorite of Jacks- Battleship.  I think we spent $5 in tokens just on this game.  

Another new favorite- race cars!!!

I wasn't allowed to push the pedal for him- he kept telling me to "go away mommy- I do it".  

Feed the pig

Water guns

And of course Grandpa Wine needed his share of snuggle time with Ben.

Grandpa Teach Visit

Grandpa Teach came out for a quick visit to meet Mr. Ben and hang out with Jackson over the Fourth of July.  After explaining to him just a week before that he had two Grandmas, we explained that he also had two Grandpas.  He said "Two Grandpas?  OK.  Awesome!"
