Jamie's Little Pumpkins.....

As I told you last time, I had to head up to Shands last week for my annual check-ups. I am proud to report that all went well and I don't have to go back for another year. Yeah for me!!!!! Although we were only there for a couple of days, it was nice to see Justin's family and Parker had a great time with Gama at preschool.
Since my nephew Isaac has gotten to be such a big boy, he was able to come to Florida with his daddy for a speaking engagement. Because of this, Isaac was able to come down and spend the whole day with us on Saturday. We had so much fun. At 7:30 Saturday morning I get a phone call, "Jamie come and see me." Well, from there things just kept going. The boys played all day and got along so well. The only bad thing is that since Parker can really talk now he and Isaac can communicate which just causes double trouble. Mid-morning we decided to take the two of them to the pumpkin patch.....nana, papaw, myself, Isaac and Parker. The boys were so very cute. They each wore their little fall customs to the pumpkin patch. Isaac was Iron Man and Parker was an Indian (I have attached some pics). After we left the pumpkin patch we headed to Lowe's, and yes the boys wore their customs there as well.
Later that evening we had a bond fire and roasted hotdogs and smores over the fire. I believe one of the funniest things was one dad lit the fire and Parker tried his best to blow out that big flame. He would puff and puff until he had no puffs left. Isaac decided that since Parker didn't know how to roast hotdogs and smores over the fire that he would show him how it should be done. Too cute I tell you. We had so much fun!!!!
Yesterday, while at work, I get a phone call, "Jamie. This is Kiddie Kove (Parker's preschool). We just wanted to let you know that Parker has an incident report today and since his grandma is picking him up today we wanted to call and give you a heads up." So am I thinking.....self, what has he done..did he throw something? did he hit someone? Well, it ended up that he had been sitting on a chair reading a book and when he went to get down he fell and cut his eye. Lucking for us it did not need medical attention.
Well, Justin and I are heading out to Texas for our friends wedding. Justin is actually the best man. It is only the two of us. Parker is actually going to South Carolina with Nana and Papaw to help celebrate Isaac's 4th birthday. Please keep us all in your prayers for safety as we travel.

Wasson Family Update .........

Wow. I am so sorry for the lack of correspondence over the past couple of weeks, but things with our family have been a little bit crazy. Justin has been putting in long hours at work putting together a clinic for disabled veterans, I have been busy with work and preparing for Parker to head off to preschool, and Parker has been being Parker - always on the go and full of lots of energy.

Last week Parker went for his very first day of preschool. He will be going Monday thru Friday from 7:30 in the morning until 5:00 in the evening. I must say all seems to be going well. For the first two days he stayed attached to his teacher, but by day three he began to play with the other kids. Last Friday he came home and told me and Justin how he took a nap on his very own mat and showed us how he laid on the mat. He also brought home the cutest little pumpkin that he made. It is so funny to hear him talk about the other little kids in his class. Yesterday I called the preschool to see how he was doing and I was informed that all was going really well, except at lunch when Parker decided that he wanted another child's fruits snacks instead of his pretzels. I couldn't stop laughing. Although I was laughing, I felt bad. I mean, am I the mom packing the boring lunch? I mean seriously, black beans, fruit and pretzels are all things he loves. Well, for today, I tried to score some extra points and packed him some Vienna sausages, fruit, a few cheez-its and two little cookies. We will see who the cool mom is now...... Yesterday, as we were leaving he took me by his classroom to show me the scarecrow that his class made and as we left the facility he waved and told the director bye. If you know Parker you know that is a big accomplishment.

Justin's clinic for the disabled veterans was this past Saturday. All went very well. He came home with some great pictures. He was even asked to go and speak at the board of county commissioners meeting today regarding the event. Way to go babe!!!!!!

On Sunday, Justin, papaw and Parker went to the air show that they were having at Cocoa Beach. They had a great time. Justin said that Parker sat in his own little chair with his little sunglasses on the majority of the time. There was one big jet that was so loud that it scared him a little bit so he wanted to sit in daddy's lap, but other then that he sat there like a big boy.

Well, I better be going. Please keep us in your prayers as the next week and a half is going to be very crazy. I am in the middle of month end and fiscal year end here at work and then next Wednesday we will be heading to Chiefland because I have appointments at Shands on Thursday and Friday. These are my annual appointments, but my stomach still turns every year. Hope you all have a great week!!!!
