Austin Turns 5

We can hardly believe Austin is 5, our spunky little red head keeps us very busy. He loves school, playing outside and being with Heath. He is very curious, and his speech is coming along. He always wants to visit Nana and Papa. He loves cuddles, friends and eating out and his BFF Ryder. We love you Aus!!

pARTy day

Heath's select art group has its art show every year, Mrs. Grimmer a very talented local artist and painter,and his teacher puts on an awesome pARTy!!, for the families, She is amazing, and so are her students. They did a smash job, we had a blast as usual.

LIFETIME OF MEMORIES!!!!!!!!

The Power of ONE/WON!!

Heath swam in the ALLSTAR swimming meet this past weekend. You have to have a qualifying time to participate in the meet. He qualified in backstroke and fly, but got disqualified in fly, so it was ONE event for him. This was his first year to qualify. We debated about even going all the way over there with the whole family for one event. That Heath really wanted to, so we were off. He was seated 27th, out of 80 swimmers, so no expectations really for me. He swam the fastest 7/8 time by more that a second. He dropped 4 seconds. It was tryly amazing, a goose bump moment for Sonny and Me. Everyone went wild!!! Talk about the underdog!!

Never again will be underestimate the power of ONE/WON!!!!!

Congratulations Heathy Jackson!!!!

Here are my two favorite four year old beasts!!

UNCLE RYYYYYYYAN!!

My brother Ryan came to visit. We all love when Ryan visits, he plays with the kids, makes them happy and wrestles them. We don't get to see him as much as we like, but when he comes it's fun, fun, fun, and eating out!!

GOAL!!

The Wolverine's finished the soccer season strong, with lots of wins and one loss. Coach Mears was the best, and we loved having the Grabner Gang to keep us company. Heath is hooked!! He scored goals, made new friends, and found he loves soccer. We can't wait for the fall season.

IT's great to be 8!!

Heath got baptized!! It was a wonderful day with family and friends, and our favorite eight year old. We are so proud of Heath. We are so thankful our Texas friends who are like family could be there to share it with us.

Heath and his bud J at the second grade Spring Party!!
Love these sweaty boys!!

A trip to the hill country

There was lots and lots and lots of marshmallow roasting, tent unzipping, sand in the sleeping bags, fire building, hiking, peeing in the woods, hotdog eating, beautiful scenery and spring break family fun. I packed up these boys of mine and headed up to one of my favorite Texas spots, the hill country and Inks lake state park. Awesome week!

Sonny: ate all the burned marhmallows, tended a fire, took kids to pee in the woods, hiked with his boys, took care of us.

Kath: sprained her ankle, cooked outside,did not pee in the woods, watched all her boys have a blast.

Heath: Hiked, fished, peed in the woods (do you see the trip theme here),collected rocks, learned how to play horse shoes, burnt most of his marshmallows, learned how to build a fire and loved every minute of it.

Austin: lost a shoe, peed in the woods, roasted hot dogs, got really dirty and played hard in his favorite spot, outdoors and loved sleeping in the tent.

Conner: Wins the award for the best baby on a camping trip. Loved eating camping food, liked being outside, ate tons of marshmallows and never took his eyes off his brothers.
