Spring has sprung here in Texas! This is my favorite time of the year when everything is starting to bloom and you get an extra boost of energy! We enjoyed the weather by going to the park with our friends, Pierce and Jade on Friday afternoon. The kids enjoyed their first ice cream treat of the season and ran around a lake at a park by our house. Here, they rested for a minute before we hit the trail again.
Jackson has become my little helper in the kitchen. I love it when he sits at the island and talks with me when I'm cooking. We have some of the sweetest conversations there. Saturday morning, he wanted to make eggs all by himself, so I supervised while he cracked and scrambled the eggs. He did awesome and I'm just realizing how much he can do by himself if I let him. I guess families with 10 children depend on those 5 year olds to do their share of the work! I need to take advantage of his helpful spirit and let him tackle some things around the house. I'll keep you posted on how that goes:)
Jackson got this toy called "The Claw" for his birthday. It's like one of those toys at the arcades where you put your money in and you can NEVER pick up the toy. The claw just gets a hold of it, but will never bring it to the top. This one is filled with candy that just drives the boys crazy because they just can't get it!! It is fun to watch, but has the most annoying music that it plays over and over, so we have to limit our time on that toy.....So, that's what has been going on in the Maupin Household. We are going to Florida next week, so I will have some great pictures of that trip, I'm sure....keep checking!

Nice mix of pictures showing what activities the boys are doing. I hardly recognized Jackson in the 1st picture. He is growing up fast. Tell the boys G-PA's claw is not locked up in a machine and they had better look out next time I see them--because it's "BEWARE OF G'PA'S CLAW".
Jackson--I can hardly wait to cook something up with you!
Great pictures. I'll have two eggs, hashbrowns and pancakes. If Drew is a good cook, I can see a chain of "JD Cafe" shops around the world. Each restaurant would have a game room. Maybe they could hire Papa to clean up every night.
Perfect. I'll be expecting eggs benedict every morning in Florida. Tell J he can just serve it to me in bed along with my coffee. The tables are starting to turn...this is working out well for Auntie A:)
