Jackson Has A Girlfriend!

Jackson and Lorianne ("Alore")

We had a wonderful Camp Meeting this year! Enjoyed it... One of the highlights was Heather came and stayed with us at night! It was good to have her around and see her!

A little funny about Jackson... Jackson found a "girlfriend" and they were so cute... Her name is LoriAnne but Jackson said he didn't like her name and he said "I call her Alore..." He told me "she has yellow hair like I do." He told me "he kissed her during church too.." He asked her to meet her daddy and she took Jackson to her daddy and said "daddy, this is Jackson Batson and he's my boyfriend and he looks just like you in suspenders." They were so funny... I was dying... She told him when she was leaving "Jackson, I will miss you and I love you and you are my boyfriend.." =) He's only 4 and she's 5... Ugh... It's already starting... =)

We had Dawson's birthday party at a park in Ashland City this evening.... Dawson has been wanting to play a baseball game as a part of his party and has been asking to do this for months now.... So he got just that! We had a great time with friends and family! We had pizza for dinner and then birthday cake that was to die for! Dawson opened his presents and then he got to play a baseball game with all his friends! Zachary and Brayden came home with Dawson for a sleep over! What a great night!

It's time to eat!

Dawson, Zach and Jackson... After work today I took the boys to the Dam to swim for a bit... After leaving the Dam we headed to Clarksville to pick up a few things for Dawson's party tomorrow... We stopped at Wendy's on the way home to grab a bite to eat since it was getting so late...

We got back to the church around 6:00 pm or so and then David met us at the church and David, Dawson, Jackson, John, Miquela, Brayden, Denise and I ran to eat dinner and then to get yogurt at a new place John and Denise found! We had a wonderful time at conference and then just being with good friends too! =) It was good to get away for a couple of days - it was much needed, but I was glad to get home and see my husband and boys!

Today was filled with classes... Lisa Davis isn't here this year, so that's kind of a bummer, but it is still a good conference... There's not as many people here this year either... We ran to Arby's at lunch time and went back to our room to eat lunch and then it was back to church until almost 5:00 pm and then we rushed to the room to get ready and then back to church and we performed tonight.. We actually performed last night as well... After another great service, we went back to our hotel and then we walked over to Denny's to eat... We were suppose to have all the girls over to hang out in our room for a while and they still came, but I was out as soon as my head hit the pillow, so I don't remember anything... I'm missing my hubby and boys tonight...
