We're in Texas!

We got here late last Wednesday night. We had a layover and I was hoping Jackson would stay awake during the first flight and then fall asleep in the second. This was the first time Leo came with us on a flight and I was preparing him that Jackson would probably cry a lot and it would be a draining experience.

Well, of course. Jackson was perfect. I mean, barely fussed at all. We did bribe him with several treats (twizzlers, dum dums, chocolate chip cookie, etc.) He flirted with everyone on the first flight. We sat next to a very sweet lady and Jackson wanted to share his twizzler with her the whole time. The second flight, he almost fell asleep but I kind of figured he wouldn't. He's so used to sleeping in his crib now. However, he did snuggle up with his daddy and blanket for like 15 minutes. He just laid on his lap and babbled and patted his daddy's chest. At one point, he kicked his leg up on the tray table and just got comfortable. We had the row to ourselves so that was wonderful. He also laid on my lap and watched a movie for awhile on Leo's phone.

It was a super easy trip.

He absolutely loves my family. We got home at like 12:30 am and he woke up and just loved on my brother and sister, Cody & Callie. What a champ.

On Thursday, we took some fabulous pictures in the bluebonnets here. It's kind of a tradition in TX to take bluebonnet pictures. They're at their best for only a week or so and we caught them just in time.













Then on Friday, we headed to college station to see my sister, Lauren get her Aggie Ring. Whoop! 


It was so fun. I'd never been there and it really is a gorgeous campus. And again, I didn't expect Jackson to be that happy because it was a 3 1/2 hr drive there. But he slept most of the way and then just loved anybody and everybody. Loo has some cute friends that were there supporting her and Jackson was in love with them. 

Anyway, it's been a fun trip so far. Leo will be with us for another week or so and then he's heading home for work. I'll stay a little while longer with Jackson. Should be fun!
