Adventures in AK, OK, and Dallas, TX

 After our fun with Michael in Kansas, Jackson and I drove to Fayetteville, AK to visit my college roommate, Natalie and her husband, Seth. We hadn't seen each other in YEARS--so it was a very sweet reunion!
 We got to spend time with my brother and his wonderful family in Oklahoma. We had fun dying Easter eggs with Grandma and cousins. We also enjoyed the week without internet or cell phone reception. We discovered how much fun you can have out in the country! The trees everywhere were BEAUTIFUL, but I hated the dogs when I went running!!
 Jackson got to spend time with his two cousins closest in age. Abram is about 8 months older than him, and McKenna is only 10 days older. He learned a lot from watching them scoot, crawl and walk around. His sitting improved exponentially, as did his general awareness and curiosity about the world around him.



 Jackson was awesome with all of our driving on this trip!  Unfortunately, you can't always control when nature calls!


 Time Out For Women in Arlington, TX!  So fun to be with my mom and sisters at this inspiring event! And Jackson just enjoyed flirting with all the women sitting around us :)


All the girls enjoyed our late night at the hotel...with midnight pizza and babies who wouldn't miss out on the party!  To top it all off, in the morning we had a great waffle breakfast......Honestly, Texas must be the only place that makes Belgian waffles in the shape of their state!!!

    1. So fun! What's taking you to Dallas? We live about 5 hours from Dallas right now, but we might be going to A&M in College Station, so that would be even closer, and my sister lives outside of Dallas...so we could def. hook up! It would be so fun to see you!
