Gorgeous Weather Weekend

We had a few plans on the agenda this weekend; journey to the cross, de-weed the backyard, and play outside as much as possible. We couldn't have asked for better weather this weekend.

Friday night we went out to eat. One of my new favorite places to go eat is Misson Burrito. For a few reasons: 1. They send us great coupons, like so good we all can eat for $6! 2. It is close to the house. 3. It is pure yumminess in a shell.
After dinner, we stopped at the park to play. Jackson is in his element at a park. He absolutely loves to run wild.
Brian attached the jungle in the backyard once we got home, and Jackson and I did a variety things outside. I stayed up late working on a special scripture book for Jackson. (I'll share more about that later.) I am really excited about how it turned out!
Jackson was up bright and early Saturday morning. We went out for breakfast.
This boy ate 2 1/2 kolaches and asked for more to eat after that! What? He must take after Papa Gary!

Next, we went over to my Aunt's church. They were putting on Journey to the Cross. Jackson was most intrigued with hammering nails. We talked to him about how Jesus was killed and died for our sins.
Our neighbors down the street are hardcore baseball people. They gave Jackson a DeMarini baseball bat and Nike glove to use.
He was really into "playing" baseball for about 20 minutes.
He loved running the bases and tagging me out or scoring me out as he called it.
Jackson and I went swimming as Brian continued to sweat and work on the "jungle". 
He asked if he could get his tube and ride the lazy river. Such a goof ball!
Brian was able to tame some of the craziness in the backyard and get a nice tan sunburn while he was at it. He also attempted to cut his own hair and actually did a decent job. I was impressed! What can't my husband do?

Thankful for a fun weekend outside, looking forward to seeing a lot of friends this week!

Don't foget to get flat stanley out on some of your adventures. Have Jackson take flat stanley for a ride on his 4 wheeler and get a picture of that and him eating at chicfilet would be fun or on a bike ride with jackson in the bike cart. Mom

You know, we were just talking this weekend about how we wish we had access to an outdoor pool. Than it hit us: Hartzlers! :) One more year and maybe you'll get us in Houston...we hear there are not a lot of job openings around here in Tim's field. :)
