Jack's Soccer Team
Jack started soccer in August. He has been having a good time! It is very low key..nothing like how T-Ball was!! So far we all love it :) He is on the "Great Whites." The boys wanted to be "The Sharks" but the name was already taken./

Nana was in town for Colby's party, so she got to see Jack's 1st soccer game too!

Jack played against his best buddy from Kinder....Joey :) Jack scored a goal in his first game!!

This was his 3rd game........He scored 3 goals!!

Jack scoring a goal!!

Happy boy!! He is DYING to get out on the field & play!!

Bike Riding
When the weather cools down we go out front in the evenings & let the kiddos ride bikes with Kylie & Kaleb. Colby & Kaleb have the exact same bike & helmet...not planned at all!
Here are Jude & Abbey enjoying the cool evening too :) Abbey is now shaved down (he's the one on the bottom).

Trojan Pride
Every Wed is "College Shirt Day" at school...Jack & I wear our Trojan shirts with pride!
We take a picture of the boys every year on the 1st day of Trojan football. This was this year's pictures! So cute!

Watching him open his presents was the highlight of the day!! He would squeal with each present he opened, and then want to play with it right away!! So cute :)

The adorable Astronaut suit Aunt Marty got for him...He told everyone all about how astronauts go where it is "dark." :)

He hit the motherlode with Mickey Mouse stuff!! Blanket, sheets, laundry hamper, shirt, jammies, DVD, coloring book, cars, Vtech computer, lunchpail...fun fun!!

Washington, D.C. Family Trip
We just got home from our trip to Washington, D.C. to visit Aunt Marty!! We had a wonderful trip...one of my favorite trips yet!! Aunt Marty was an amazing hostess!! I am always happy to be around my Aunt....she is a connection to my mom and truly one of my favorite people on this earth!! Thank you for the generous gift of this trip & time together as a family :) We love you!!!
She made us all goodie bags with things that we enjoy...She had these M&Ms made that say "Kenzie Kaleb" and "Jackson Colby." So adorable!!!

We took a "Duck Tour" of DC. The first half was on land, and the second in the water! This was a great morning!!

Our family at the Air & Space Museum by Dulles International Airport!

Kenzie at the American History Museum..this was the Julia Child exhibit!! Jack at the Natural History Museum...he loved it!! Colby at the Air & Space Museum..a new love of his has blossomed!!!!

Madisyn's 6th Birthday Party
Jack got invited to Madisyn's 6th birthday party. It was a fun day filled with Chick-fil-a lunch, Paint a Memory, and then Coldstone ice cream! It was Jack & 4 other little girls :) He's the man!!
The girls all chose hearts & cupcakes to paint..Jack chose a golf ball! I have no idea why he chose that...They had a monster truck & every other sport option to choose from!!
