Magic Springs

Austin and Jackson atop the Old Mine Run roller coaster at Magic Springs . The past few years we have gotten season passes. It's close enough to make a Saturday trip of, and the boys enjoy it.

Memorial Day Fishing Trip

On Monday Pop, Kelly and I took the boys fishing. We went to a place that Pop knew we could catch lots of fish and we did! I think Pop and Kelly were exhausted from re-fixing hooks by days end, but we had lots of fun!

Kelly and his Dad work to get a catfish on the stringer. He was a feisty one!

Playing around with Dad!

Actually, we're not supposed to be riding ATV's in our neighborhood, but sometimes the boys get to go for a spin. Kelly had just gotten back from riding with friends and the boys wanted a ride to the end of the street. They think they are super cool! (I think they are as well).

Austin Just chillin'.

Jackson being friendly to the neighbors!

Jackson Is A Preschool Graduate!

Jackson is officially a preschool graduate! Thursday night Jackson's preschool held its graduation! Our baby is growing up so fast! He is so smart and sweet, and always keeps us on our toes!

Watch out Kindergarten! Here we come!

Jackson getting his "diploma". Notice his big brother videoing him. They even had the "2007" tassels and marched in to "Pomp and Circumstance". We Moms had a few tears!

Jackson's end of the year carnival and party

Jacksons preschool class had their end of the year party and carnival on Thursday. They got to go to the gym to play games for prizes. After the carnival we went back to their classroom for a graduation party! They enjoyed Happy meals and a graduation cake!!

Jackson and one of his favorite friends display their dinosaur face paint and lightning bolt arms.

Jackson and Blake help their teacher, Ms. Liz pick up bowling pins. Ms. Liz has been an awesome teacher this year!! It was really a a bittersweet day. We have been going to this preschool for 2 years. It is such a great school. Jackson has been in class with some of these kids both years. A lot of them we will still see at church, though.

Track and Field Day

Every year at the end of school Austin's school holds a track and field day for each grade. The kids each get to choose 4 events to participate in. There are also some class events such as the scooter relay and tug of war. Austin was in soccer, basketball, volleyball and batting this year. He won 2 first place ribbons and a second and a third. We had very nice weather this year. Sometimes it is very hot! This photo is Austin in the scooter relay. The three fourth grade classes lined up and had to ride the scooter board on their stomachs around some cones and back to the line. I don't think I could have done it!

The highlight of the day is always the tug of war. This is Austin's class after winning! They had to beat both other fourth grade classes to be champions. Way to go Ms. Tucker's class!!

Jackson enjoying the events from his perch on this climber. Next year in kindergarten he will get to have a field day!
