Playing With The Cousins

We just had our SIL and our 2 nieces here for a visit from Fresno. They were her for 2.5 days and we had had a great time visiting and Jackson just loved the company. Jeff and I didn't really have to do anything with Jackson other then give him a bath at night and put him to bed. The girls did everything. Jackson wanted Ashley in the picture below to do everything, feed him, play with him, snuggle, etc. he was pretty bossy with her, but she didn't seem to mind! She and Courtney her older sister seemed to enjoy Jackson's orders and poopy diapers too! LOL I will be using them for babysitters when we move back!
Jackson his pretending to be the barber and cut Ashley's hair. He even used the blanket as the cape!
Ashley and Jackson!
Courtney pulling Jackson around on the blanket! I think he remembered this from Christmas and wanted them to do it!
I took the Fam to the Desert Museum yesterday for them to see something here in Tucson. The drive there was about 20 minutes from our house and beautiful. As I was driving there I couldn't help to think of Mississippi. All the lush greenery and the back roads. Here there's nothing but dirt, cactus, rocks and bushes of all kinds. It's like one extreme to the next for us, and it all stems from the heat! A whopping 85 degree in March! I just thank the lord above that there isn't humidity here.
So anyway, we went to the Desert Museum and we were a little disappointed, the animals were all hiding and it was basically trails taking you around to different exhibits showing how ants live in the ground, etc. We did see a wolf, black bear sleeping and the cave and mineral stuff was really interesting. Especially all the stones that come from the earth, so pretty! But besides that It was hot as hell and Jackson wasn't feeling very well. So those combinations just didn't go well together. But I am glad we got to see it and not just wondering whats over there.
We had a great time with Penny and the girls and we welcome our next visitors!
