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!!!!

Dragon Tails

Even Dragons have BFF's!

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!!
