Sheba

Jackson's favorite new barn activity is hanging out with Sheba...so much so that he has learned to say her name (which pleases Paul to no end) here a few pictures of them together.

Congrats Chad!

I am pleased to say we were able to pull one over on Chad. He won the Outstanding Young Alumnus Award from Virginia Tech which we had to keep a surprise until the banquet in Blacksburg. And let me tell you, it was not easy getting him there. Everyone at the farm worked so hard cooking up a story to get him there, and after much arguing he went! He still doesn't understand how we kept is a secret but needless to say he was surprised!

Chad thought he was going to Tech to give this speech to Dr. Pearson. He worried about it for a week and was sick the whole way down there thinking about giving it. He was not a happy camper when he found out it was completely not needed!

Waverly's old summer intern Maggie was able to present the award to Chad which meant a lot to him.

I think he is saying some not nice things to Maggie about being surprised here...

Chad and I at the banquet, it was a lot of fun!

Easter in Kentucky

We had an awesome trip to Kentucky for Easter. Because of dad's accident we hadn't seen them since Christmas and they were so excited to see Jackson.

Dad is getting around better and better all the time. He is finally able to go outside and do a few things which pleases him to no end. Brady leaves for California June 1st so they are hoping he is up and about by then.

We are glad to be home but worn out after a long day. We were so very blessed with Jackson being a good boy on the plane...he was wonderful!

Here are lots of pictures from our weekend, we have an exciting weekend coming up...more details to come!

This is Jackson with Hawkeye's newborn calf...this is right before she tackled him, but he took it like a champ!

Jackson with mom and dad's new pug Callie.

Jackson colored with Bibi.

Riding on the golf cart with Pop, he is getting around better and better!

Look what Pearl brought....the Easter bunny!

Riding on the 4-wheeler with Brady.

Jackson's favorite thing about the whole trip...Bibi's bubble screen-saver! He watched and watched it and said whoa...everytime.
Playing "I see you" with Brady.

Easter

Jackson had a great Easter here in Virginia...a picture is worth a thousand words...

Jackson all ready for the Easter bunny to come in his Easter jammies.

Putting carrots out for the Easter bunny to eat.

Jackson decided he didn't want to leave all the carrots for the Easter bunny, he wanted some for himself!

Then Jackson decided he wanted to share the carrots with Bailey.

Even after stealing his carrots, the Easter bunny still left Jackson lots of good stuff!

Mr. Personality

Mr. Personality is as crazy as ever. He talks up a storm but his favorite saying is "I see you". He also loves to spin around in circles until he falls down, grab his head with both hands and shake it, blow kisses, and give high fives.

We leave for Ky Thursday and I think they will all be shocked when they see Jackson. He has changed so much lately. Chad and I see him everyday and still get over how much he has grown as of late.

My favorite new silly move, grabbing my head and shaking it!


My adorable Easter bibs that Miss Patricia and her mom made me, we love them!

Me and mommy before school one day.
