Sweet Jackson

On Friday, Jackson hugged and kissed my leg and said, "because you're in my heart."  I melted.  I picked him up, kissed him, and told him that I loved him so much!  Then, I wrote it down in my memory book because these are the sweet moments that I never want to forget.

Volleyball and Soccer

Today, we were up a little after 6 to get ready for our morning of sports!  As tired as we all were, this really is such a fun season!

 

Sarah's volleyball game was up first!  And she did great!

She's awesome at serving the ball!

Then, we headed to the soccer fields for J's game!

I may or may not have taken too many pictures just while the team was practicing before the game even started!

This is Jack repositioning the ball so he can kick it into the goal.  I don't know much about sports, but I do know that unless you're a goalie (which our 4 year olds' team doesn't have!) you can't use your hands!

Coach Mike is the best--he's so nice and patient with the kiddos!

Jackson made a goal...during practice!

Yep, that's bedhead!

J took his time to give each member of the opposing team a hardy "good game" handshake after the game!

He's the cutest!

Our New Home

Since Bryan and I have been married, we've lived in 7 different houses.  Yesterday, we bought our forever home! 

 

To say we're so stinkin' excited would be an understatement!  We're so grateful to God and really looking forward to this next chapter!

 

How cute is he?!

 

Bryan found this home over a year and a half ago before we even moved to Argyle, and he fell in love with it.  Then, he showed me, and it was all over!  It has everything we wanted...and then some!

 

It sits on a little over 5 and a half acres of land,

and it has a pond!

Grandparents' Day

Today was Grandparents' Day at Jackson's school.  Both Grandpas were able to go, and Jack was so excited to see them this morning!  J is so blessed to have these two great men in his life!

Cake and a Cutie

Bryan and I have a had a stressful couple of weeks, not in our marriage or anything, but just in something we've been working on.  So, yesterday, I made him his favorite cake...just because.

 

Chocolate Cherry Cake

This little cutie got to lick the frosting beaters!

So cute!

Frosting is his favorite--if you can't tell!

A Servant's Heart

A couple of weeks after we moved to our new town last year, we started going to church.  From our very first time at church, Sarah said that she wanted to volunteer in the little kids' classrooms on Sunday mornings.  Now that she's in 6th grade, she's old enough to work with them, and she was so excited!  For the past two Sundays, Sarah has worked in one of the 2 year old classrooms, and this is now her job each week!  She helps the teacher, plays with the kids, sings songs about Jesus with them, and gives out lots of hugs and kisses--she says that is her favorite part!

 

We are so proud of our sweet girl and her amazing servant's heart!

Train Track

Yesterday afternoon, Jackson asked me if we could build a train track.  I told him my tummy hurt and asked if we could do it in a little bit.  He looked up at me with his big blue eyes and said, "Plawing train track will make your tummy feel all better!"  I couldn't resist!  So, I got down on the floor, and we built a train track.  He was so happy...and my tummy did feel better!

 

I just love how sweet he is!

Soccer

This morning Jackson started soccer!  His team, "The Rockets" had their first practice and scrimmage this morning!

 

Although he's not really smiling in this picture, he was really excited!

Bryan took Jackson to his practice, while I went with Sarah to her volleyball game--which they won!  My Dad, Bryan's parents, and Bryan's Nana came to cheer on Sarah too!  When Sarah's game was over, we all headed to Jackson's game!

While at practice, Papa Bear took some great pictures of J!

 Goal!

 Go...

 

...Rockets!

Look at the cuteness!

Jackson sitting out so everyone could have a turn before going back in!

Jackson got to do a corner kick!

His face!

His face again!

 

Jackson stopped to make sure his teammate was ok after getting hurt.  Bryan leaned over and told me I'd made him too sensitive!

The game was one of the cutest and funniest things I've ever seen!  We had such a blast watching Jackson--especially the way he would wind himself up to run after the ball!!

Daddy, who was a soccer star back in his day, telling Jackson great job!

Love!
