Master Jackson T. and Sir Tucker G. Morris: September 2009

We went to Atlanta to hang out with Auntie T, UK and Bryce last weekend and had a blast. Besides lunch at an awesome Irish Pub, there wasn't much on the docket so we spent most of the time playing and hanging out. Jackson always loves spending time with his aunt and uncle but this weekend was a bonus because Bryce was there! Jackson loved laying with Bryce on the couch, crawling all over Bryce and trying to sit with him in front of the tv. We wanted to stay to watch the Patriots on Sunday, but with all the rain Atlanta was getting, we decided to leave before lunch, much to the boy's demise. He spent all day Monday asking about Bryce, Auntie and UK. That's always the mark of a great weekend!

Matchbox cars and UK - it doesn't get much better than this!

Trying to figure out how to get in Bryce's chair with him.

Bryce is game, but is there enough room?

Nope, but it didn't stop the boys from having fun!

It's been too long since I've updated. I guess pregnancy is the best excuse I've got. That and since we've moved to our house, I've met a ton of new friends and have been so busy hanging out that I forget about the blog. Here's a long one, complete with lots of pictures. We really have had the best summer. We missed Chip, Sara and Tyler at the reunion, so we had a mini reunion here, with the Pettapieces and the Funks. We decided to take the boys bowling. Tyler loved it and he's pretty good! Jackson, not so much. He likes to be in control too much to have to wait his turn and then watch the ball slowly roll down the lane. He spent most of his time in the arcade with one of the adults while the rest of us bowled.

Hanging with the best entertainer of them all, Auntie T!

Thankfully, we brought other distractions with us. UK and Auntie T, plus matchbox cars is the perfect combination.

My attempt to show the boy how it's done.

Here we go...
How do you explain to a two year old that you can't run down the greased lane to chase after the ball?
Scrap bowling, Yahtzee is where it's at. Tyler scored a record high - 518! He rolled 3 Yahtzees!
Chillin' on Sunday morning with UK.

The next weekend, Grandie Phi and Pa Paw came to celebrate Grandie's birthday. Jackson's love for birthday cake was renewed that weekend and he still asks for a piece every day.

Jackson could barely contain his excitement over that cake!

We actually made him eat dinner before he had a piece. Mean mommy and daddy!
He was trying to convince Grandie to give him a piece before dinner. She almost gave in and would have if we hadn't stopped her. That's what grandmother's are for, right?
Finally, cake! It was so good, the boy couldn't be bothered to stop eating and smile for the camera.
We also spent the morning at one of our local fire houses with my mom's group. The tour of the station was fun but the most exciting part was sitting in a real firetruck!
