I Can't Believe Jacen is Almost 2!!!!

We always seem to stay busy doing something even if there isn't a plan for the day :)

Jacen playing outside!!!
Bubbles
Chalk
Cars in the swimming pool!!!
He still loves playing in the car!
He was enjoying jumping on our pillows that never made it on the bed :)
He was helping me chop up Oreos to make dessert!!!

We went to Science Spectrum with Carianne and Owen this week.
Jacen played with a toy he has never played with before.  It was interesting watching him investigating how the toy worked.
Owen and Jacen both loved the bubbles!!!

Texas Tech Museum - Dino Day
Kyle found out that the Tech museum was having Dino Day on Saturday, so we went for a little bit.  Most of the stuff was way to old for Jacen, but he loved digging!!!!  He threw a fit when we tried to leave that area.  Oops!!!

Goldthwaite Trip

Jacen and I traveled to Goldthwaite on Thursday to see family.  Our first item on the agenda was a walk to the baseball field to watch Cousin Westin play.  (Sorry Westin I didn't get a good shot of you but good game!!!!)  Jacen, Cousin Madisyn, and Cousin Blaine enjoyed playing in the dirt, under the bleachers, and wherever else they could find instead of watching the game :)

Jacen and Madisyn - 
They were more interested in something on the ground rather than a picture for me :)
Jacen and Grandma
Friday Grandma, Grandpa, Jacen, Madisyn, and I traveled to Temple to see Samantha and Jeremy.  We ate lunch, played at the mall, and saw their house.

Meeting of the minds on top of the slide.
This is the only way he would slide!!!!
Samantha, Madisyn, Jacen and I at Samantha and Jeremy's house.
After returning home, Grandpa, Jacen, Blaine, and Madisyn enjoyed bubbles and the trampoline.
Notice that Jacen's arms are blurry - He is shaking them which means he is happy.  Silly boy :)
Blaine and Madisyn
Jacen found the piano and had to play for us :)
Saturday was the Goat Cookoff in Goldthwaite, so we looked at all the booths with Grandma, and then hung out with PawPaw and MeMe while he cooked.  
Grandma and Jacen buying cookies!
Jacen and Madisyn pretending to drive a tractor.
PawPaw and Jacen.  Jacen loved Pawpaw's golf cart. He enjoyed pretending to drive and it was hard to convince him to get off.
Once we were back at Grandma and Grandpa's house, Jacen enjoyed some sprinkler time :)
Pretending to drive Grandma's car.  He can do this forever :)
Eating a cupcake :)
Petting the dogs (our dog's brothers and dad)
Grandma and Jacen watching the train that is really close to their house go by.  
Jacen loved watching it!!!!!
On Sunday after church before leaving town, we had lunch with PawPaw, MeMe, and Uncle Mitchell. 
I only got a picture of Jacen with Mitchell.  Sorry PawPaw and MeMe!!!!

April is Flying By!!!!

We love our happy boy!!!!!
I am thinking in the future we shouldn't go to the playground by ourselves.  He preferred just walking around.  I kept thinking to myself that we could have done that at home :)
The 19th of April was Kyle's birthday, so we made him a birthday cake.  Jacen "helped" me!!
Jacen giving Daddy his card :)
Wagon Ride
Jacen has decided that the most fun thing to do is sit in our car and pretend to drive!!!!
He loves to pull the wagon full of cars.
Bubbles are his new favorite outside activity.
He enjoyed his new bubble toys that the grandparents gave him.
Jacen and I went to Science Spectrum on Friday and then again on Saturday with Daddy :)
