Baylor's First Trip to Kirksville

Last week Briley, Baylor, and I went to Loose Park because it was such a beautiful day. This park has a really big playground area and Briley was in heaven! We also got to see some turtles, ducks, and fish at the pond. One of the ducks was even sitting on her nest. I promised Briley we would go back soon. Baylor also enjoyed getting his first bath last week and he loved it. Briley was really wanting to get in his "boat" with him. I told her they both couldn't fit but she could sit outside the boat in the tub and that seemed to be good enough. I also got the "swinger" out of the attic and he seems to enjoy it. I just have to watch Briley because she likes to push it a little too fast sometimes.

This past weekend we headed to Kirksville. We had planned on going home for Easter but I couldn't sit in the car on my tailbone for that long so we waited another week. It still hurt, but I managed to make it as long as I sat on a pillow. Baylor got to meet his Uncle Andrew, Uncle Rick and Lisa, and his Great Grandma while we were home. Jackson celebrated his 6th birthday on Friday and it was a Mario Brothers themed party. He got a lot of awesome toys that he had fun playing with the rest of the night. His party excited Briley for her own Minnie Mouse party coming up next week. We have been busy getting things ready for the big day. She has been anticipating it since Christmas. Andy and his Dad took the pool cover off and began getting it ready for summer on Saturday. Briley got to swim in the hot tub and she loved it! We also got to enjoy lounging around outside and having homemade icecream. It felt just like summer! That night we went to my Dad's for dinner and Rick and Lisa came to meet Baylor. While we were there Briley found my Dad's hats and decided she needed one to take home. She had picked my Dad's Mississppi State hat, but Dad pursuaded her to take his Mizzou hat instead. On Sunday we met my Grandma in Macon on our way back home so that she could meet Baylor and get Briley measured for her birthday dress. It was a quick little stop so hopefully Baylor and Briley will get to see more of her at Briley's birthday next week.
