This past weekend we went to Lagoon. It's a theme park near Ogden. I don't remember the last time I went there. I do have proof that I have been there, a picture of me on a ride all of 3 or 4 years of age. We had Jackson this weekend and thought it would be a fun outing. And that it was. I don't know what my problem is, but I got some cheaper tickets through my bank and then left said tickets on the kitchen counter! Good thing they are good the whole season. Anyone want to buy them? Jackson was so excited, he was full of energy. We rode lots of rides and spent most of the day there. I'm not really one for theme parks (most of the rides make me puke) but it sure is fun with kids. In the middle of the afternoon we rode the Rattlesnake Rapids. We all got soaked! Afterwards, Jackson was so cute. He kept yelling, "I'm soaking wet!" He's so much fun!
We are also happy to announce that we will be seeing a lot more of Jackson. His mother has agreed to every other weekend and once a week, plus some holidays. That means we get him 3 weekends in a row with Memorial day this weekend. We are planning on going camping on Friday until Saturday. Paul has to work on Monday so Jackson and I will go swimming and play. I am so excited about this time with him. He's such a character. We started reading the Chronicles of Narnia (if I spelled that wrong, I'm sure one of my siblings will catch it and comment). He is facinated by it. It's fun to read the book. I've never read it before and it's fun to watch his excitment. I'm just in love with both of my boys!
Mother's Day was a great day. We had Paul's sister and her family over for dinner and I loved cooking for them all. We played some RockBand and I think Liz and Matt really enjoyed it. The kids got to play a bit but of course we had to help them. Paul got me a Baby G watch. It's awesome and perfect for work. He's so good at picking out gifts. It's something I never would have gotten myself but it's so practical and great! I married the greatest man in the world. He's so thoughtful and caring and helpful. Not to mention the best listener ever!
So there is a little update on our lives. We are healthy and happy and loving our little boy. Here are some pictures of Lagoon. One day we will get a decent picture of the three of us together.
This was a swing ride that I didn't go on because I didn't want to puke. Paul is helping Jackson get settled before the ride.
This was on the Rattlesnake Rapids near the end. The boys got soaked under the waterfall.
I took this picture in commemoration of my picture, only I was on an elephant if I remember correctly.
