College Station

Jackson had pneumonia this past week. Mama J came to the rescue (again) and drove up to Plano to take care of Jackson. On Thursday, Jackson was doing much better so Mama J drove Jackson down to College Station so that she could help take care of him at her house. Thomas and I had plans to go to College Station on Friday, so we knew that we would be with our little boy on Friday. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. She is always willing to jump in and help out when we need her. Both of us have new jobs, so it is really hard to take off work as often as Jackson is sick.

On Friday, Papa J took Jackson up to the Meat Lab. Jackson liked wearing cousin Ray's hard hat and looking at all of the meat.

Jackson had another first on Saturday. His first Aggie game. Papa J and I had planned on taking Jackson to his first Aggie game for months. We were excited to pass on the Aggie tradition to Jackson. Prior to the game, we went over to the festivities prior to the game so that Jackson could see the Aggie band.

Jackson has a board book that has various pictures of Aggieland. He loves looking at the book. One of the pictures is of E. King Gill. I have taught him about E. King Gill. When we walked up to the statue, Jackson yelled, "E. King Gill!" There were several people that turned to look at the 22 month old yelling, "E. King Gill!" It was cute!

Papa J took Jackson to listen and look at the Aggie Band. Jackson LOVES the Aggie Band and says, "Aggie Band" any time he hears them or sees them.

After the band passed, the football players walked past Jackson and Papa J. Jackson stuck out his hand to slap high five. EVERY player that walked by Jackson gave him five. Unfortunately, it didn't create enough good luck for us to pull out and win. Oh well.

While tailgating, the basketball game walked by. Jackson and Papa J had to say hi to one of the star players.

Jackson fell asleep after the first quarter. I woke him up for the Aggie band because that was what he kept talking about. I didn't want him to miss it. He just watched them intently. I think he was still tired. After the third quarter, Thomas took him to Mama J and they went home.

On Sunday, Uncle Jeffrey got to play with Jackson.
