Grammy & Grampy

OK so I have been a total slacker (sorry Kari!). Brian was giving me a hard time the other night and if we compare blogs have to say that I have far more post total on my blog than he has on his! It just seems like when I have some time to my self with Jackson asleep I am awake for a couple of minutes and then I crash on the couch.

Grammy and Grampy came to visit a couple of weeks ago. It had been over 3 months since their last visit. Jackson sure has changed in that short amount of time. Grammy showed up just after his 7 month birthday and Jackson decided it was time to show off and be the perfect child. I don't think he had one good cry the whole time she was here. Grammy and Grampy arrived on a Saturday morning and we went out to breakfast and that kid sat in a highchair throughout the entire breakfast without one outburst. Of course he was conveniently dropping all of his toys and shiny spoons on the ground for Grammy to pick up.

Later that night we went out to dinner and to the Utah Jazz basketball game. We went to McGrath's for dinner and brought Jackson's dinner of cereal and veggies with us. He ate his dinner like the champ that he is (especially when it comes to eating) and then again sat in the highchair completely content to play with his toys. There was another child in the restaurant who was making quite the scene and I am just hoping that Jackson can maintain his pleasant disposition. After dinner we headed to the Jazz game. I was a little unsure how he would react in such an loud and large arena. It is not like sporting events are foreign to him (9 high school football games, 2 Utah football games, 5 Utah basketball games, a hockey game, 4 wresting tournaments, 6 wrestling duals and many of his dad's softball games). He did just fabulously at the game. He sat on mom and Grammy's laps watching the game and people around him as well as chewing on his toys.

The rest of Grammy and Grampy's trip was spent doing a little shopping and hanging out. Jackson seems to always get spoiled when his grandparents are in town. When it was time to go it wasn't hard to see that Grammy didn't want to leave him. It is so much fun to have family visit because he is so interactive. He smiles, laughs and talks up a storm. Jackson is looking forward to many more visits from Grammy and Grampy.
