Our "Boys"

Well Jackson starts first grade on Thursday. It's so sad how quick they grow up. Jackson will always have a very special place in our hearts. He was our first "boy" and we jump at any chance we have to spend the day with him. We wanted to have a special day with him before he started back to school. Tay joined us on our adventures. It was a little sad that Amelia had to go to daycare but it's important to us to spend one on one time with them as well. Me and Tay are going to do a girls only trip with her next week. Taylor and I were reading Deacon's car seat warning to Jackson on the way back from breakfast. He is all about reading so we were helping him read it. It states that a child should be in the backseat until they are 12. I told Jackson that I would be so sad when he turned 12. He said, "I know me and Amelia were just discussing this yesterday and I told her one day these toys shelves will all be empty and we'll be all grown up-Mommy and Daddy will just save a few toys for the grandkids." He is so wise beyond his years.

We started the morning at Huddle House for breakfast. Derek worked last night and I wanted to give him plenty of time to sleep as we tend to get a little loud when we are playing so it was just me, Tay, and the boys. I think they will be the best of friends. There are fewer years between them then there are between Jill and I-crazy huh!

I wanted to make sure the day was well documented.

Then we came home and watched a movie before heading to Chuckie Cheese when D got up. We joined the email club so between all the deals we ended up with 130 tokens. Derek and Jackson had a blast. As we pulled in Jackson said "Chuckie Cheese where a kid can be a kid." Derek and him later decided it's where an adult can be a kid too! We ended up with 510 tickets and Jackson got a tootsie roll and modeling clay.

We got in the photo booth and had our picture drawn. Tay held our stuff for the picture. She is having a special day with Jackson tommorow so she just tagged along today. Their special day will probably include some swimming!

It was a great day. We loved spending time with our "big boy" who will always be my first baby!
