The Beach

We just got back from a week in Ft. Morgan / Gulf Shores with Mimi, Popsy, Michael, Kristin and Duncan.  We had great weather and lots of fun.   The kiddos loved playing in the sand and ocean.  It appears that Duncan did survive.   Poor thing, she had Ainsleigh and Cooper in her face for a whole week.

They were always on the look out for animals and shells.








Cooper loved to see his footprints and lines.

Look at this "fort" the kiddos and dad built.                                        


Jackson in the fort.

We built a fire at the beach one night.  The kids told us "ghost stories".  Ainsleigh had to use the flashlight to light up her face as she told the story.  Hilarious!!

Where did my baby Jackson go?  He is all grown up!


Ainsleigh was always running on the beach!










































The boys had fun playing in the sand.
Ainsleigh and Cooper loved digging in the sand.  They could do it all day.


Baseball and All Stars

As of 6/9, we are still playing baseball.  Jackson is on the White Sox this year.  They had a slow start to the season but even with a #5 seed in the tourney, they are still alive.  They beat the number 4 and 1 seeds so far!  He has had fun this season but will move up to kid pitch in the fall.  Not sure mom is ready for that switch!

Jackson also made the All Stars this year.   His team won the All Stars game which was very exciting!  

Ainsleigh and Cooper loved the firetrucks at the All Star ceremony.

Jacksons' 9th Birthday

Jackson had a great 9th birthday.   He had a gaming truck come to our house and we had 15 or so rowdy boys that played Xbox, Wii and Playstation for 2 hours.  They were in heaven!

The big birthday boy!

Some of Jackson's wild and crazy friends.

                         
Some of them even ate with Ainsleigh and Cooper.
