Weekend Visit

I packed up the kids and took them to visit Yaya and Papa Bear this weekend.  Jasper had to be out of town for work so we decided for a little trip as well.  You can tell Jasper wasn't around when you see Jax wearing any UK gear, courtesy of Papa Bear.

Papa Bear is also lots of fun to cuddle with while watching a morning cartoon.  

Does this pose look at all familiar?

This was Jax last Memorial Day. 

While Jax went with Papa Bear to the car mechanic shop, Miles hung out with us around the house.

Then we all headed out for some fun.  We started at the book store where the ever popular train table is.  Jax had fun, but Miles didn't seem impressed. 

Then it turned out to be story time!  While I have yet to take Jax to a story time because I don't feel he has the attention span necessary to sit through it, I figured since we were already there and my mom was there to help we could give it a shot.  Things started out great and Jax even made a friend. 

Then things got ... interesting.  Jax was not interested in sitting and quietly listening to a story, he wanted to run around the stage!  Can't say I really blame the kid as the lady running the story time was not the most exciting.  Either way, when he found out he could not run around the stage as he hoped he was less than thrilled, leading to the very first time I have carried my kid out of a store literally kicking and screaming.  While it was my first, I am positive it will not be my last.

We recovered at home though and luckily my parents have a playroom with more toys than any toddler could ever need.   Life was good again. 

Sunday morning came and it was time to head to church!  

The kids were looking pretty cute if I do say so myself. 

We are still working on getting Jax to like church nursery.  He isn't big into being dropped off anywhere and no amount of toys and great adults to play with him will change that for now.  After church however, he is quickly all smiles again, especially if it is nice enough to play outside. 

Especially when YaYa joins in!

Back at the house I will say that I am pretty sure Jax feels at home.  He ran into my parents room, jumped in Papa Bear's recliner and pulled out the remote. 

This kid cracks me up sometimes.
