Busy, but blessed

Monday was a teacher work day.  I like to do fun things with Jackson when he is out of school.  Me and the little boys are always doing something even if its just going to the bank and stopping by the park on the way home.  For some reason I feel bad if blabber mouth Stephen says we did something.  I don't know why, but I do.  Jackson had an awesome baby sitter while I worked and they were always going to the park or McDonalds.  So he got to do the same things Matt and Stephen do.  I don't get to spend as much time with Jackson since we are always at a ball park.  So ANYWAYS back to our Monday.  Jackson, Stephen, Matt and I went to Commerce to see my dad, Jo Anna and my little sister Mary Grace.  Jackson LOVES hitting balls at the driving range.

He likes to play golf, but unfortunately its not his favorite.  He is really good at it if he puts his mind to it and concentrates on what he is doing.  He would rather goof off and act silly, but thats our Jackson!!  and I love it!!

Matt was really getting into it and was doing a great job!!

Stephen on the other hand...............would rather pick the balls up than hit the balls, but that is our little worker right there!!

Jackson has that flat bill hat and dad was being silly with him and tried to flatten out his hat to be like Jackson!!  


Tuesday night is Stephen's soccer night and its always fun watching the little kids!!


Stephen actually did really good tonight!  He touched the ball with his hands some, but he would catch himself and remember not to touch the ball with his hands!!

He likes having his brother there watching him.  Its usually opposite.  We are always watching Jackson so its nice to give Stephen some special attention! 

Stephen loves running!!

They play some neat games and it not only helps them learn how to play soccer, but it gives them instructional time and Stephen needs that since he doesn't go to school yet!

They got to try out the goals tonight!!  


Jackson would push the balls out for the little kids.  It amazed me how much Stephen learned from last week and not even tonight.  He was so careful not to touch the ball at the end of practice.  When the ball went in the goal and Jackson hadn't pushed the ball out for him he would take his foot and push it back out!  It was neat to watch.  He is learning and is so exciting.


After practice Jackson wanted to ride home in the jeep with Papa.  It was such a nice night for it!  Stephen wanted to ride along!  Papa took them by McDonalds and dropped them off with Bart at the Shop.


After practice I went to Ingles to get some of the ingredients to make Holly a Swiss Chocolate cake!  She requested it while in the hospitol after having Grace.  We are going to Blairsville to see the baby and Holly after school Wednesday.  I can't wait to see her!  The boys are excited to, but Jackson is sad we are going to miss church.  I love that kid!  With soccer, baseball, and racing this weekend Wednesday was the only day we could go see them.  I promise to take lots of pictures and share.

Bart is working late in the shop tonight.  He is getting the dragster ready for test and tune Saturday!  Jackson has gotten so much taller from last year and he has to move his pedals back so his knees are so cramped!

Stephen's 1st soccer practice!

Stephen started soccer tonight!  He will go Tuesdays from 6:00 - 6:45.

He is so excited.  This was right before we found his coach!  He is sporting his brand new Nike pull over he had to have at Khols today!  He also picked out a new pair of shoes for him in the ladies department cause the box said "nike"  Gosh he knows his labels way to early.  He gets it from his brother!

Standing by the goal!

Big Bro Jack had to get in the picture!!  He was Stephen's helper tonight!!

Stephen was super nervous at first!  This is his I think I am going to be sick cause I am sooooo nervous look!!  I love the little girl raising her hand!!  These kids are soooo cute!

They got soccer jerseys the 1st night!!

I love this little dimple faced fellow!!

Running!!!

I think this was the funniest thing to him.  They had to run backwards!!  He giggled the whole time!!

More running backwards!!


Jumping over the balls!!!



This picture makes me think he is saying in his head "hey kids pay attention" or "I am the boss you listen to me"

Football!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what we have been doing the past 3 weeks. Jackson has practice 3 nights a week for 2 hours each night. He LOVES it!!!!!!!!! Thats all he thinks about. I have to beg him to go swimming because he wants to save his energy for football. The kid is going to be a star one day. Trust me......most of the coaches have came up to me after practice and told me how good he is!!!

Since Stephen has to be just like bubba he had to dress up when Jackson tried on his gear!!!! Aren't they just adorable!!!!!!!!!!! Its been alot of fun. Its wonderful to see your children LOVE something and set a goal to doing something and wanting to succeed!!!
