Well its been a long wait between drinks.... we have been away visiting family - i am yet to get a chance to get the computer as Brad is working pretty much every minute - so I've had to keep you all in suspense...... well its not like anything dramatic has happened, we are all alive. So the past weeks i have been in AR with Jackson, while Brad seemed a little too happy to be enjoying the bed all to himself (Jackson has been in with us for a while now- please no dramatics).

We arrived in AR then went to a strange and confusing land known as Chucky Cheese (?sp) Photos of this land are at the bottom - I was still dazed from an early start and long flight, while Jackson seemed oblivious to everything except the rides and of course his Grandma and Paw Paw - once filled with tasty pizza and soda pretending to be some sort of juice - we then headed to the house, for relaxation - until Zoo day (see below) Our next stop was Nee Nee's or Granny's as she is most well known by. More photos of our stay to come - we alwasy have a great time helping down at Share and Care, while I eat my way through Harrison and gain 4 pounds. I am not friggin kidding - the grease just adhears itself to my belly and stays for the trip home.


holding Jackson back from riding the old tortoise, he was so close you could reach out and touch the old guy - the petting zoo was closed, but we enjoyed seeing all the big animals, including elephants! you can eat lunch and watch them out the window.




Below is chucky cheese......




Dancing with mum - it was good to let loose after the flight though I could have choosen better music.


money paw paw money money money........
the horse was his fav, and kept asking for money for the ride (they have these tokens that are gold you buy first and then put in each ride) after a little while Jackson was putting the money in himself on the rides he could reach - we had an amazing time.

Note the serious look on Bob's face as he steers the horse, Jackson is mesmorised.

Like my new car GrandPop?

For my Dad: Drive safe this week Dad..... enjoy your new hat and lift the back of your jacket! (yes theres a story there but it has to be told from the owner)

The greatest photo of "Jackson missed Brad" and Christal you look fantastic can't wait till Dad catches the blog. You will never convince anyone J has food issues when he looks like he could eat a horse and chase the rider!
Great to see all the grandies.

Chuck E Cheese, the bane of parents everywhere. Max has been once & I'm with Angie, never again if I can help it. Too much, greasy pizza, too much soda, too much everything!

On another note, love all the new pics! And I hear you'll be a little closer toward the end of the year? Yippee!

Angie...NO Chuck E. Cheese? You've been in Alaska and Europe too long. We'll see how long that lasts once you get back!
