{FuN VaCAtiON}......to grandma's house he goes. Jaxen has spent a little time at grandma's house this summer. This last trip over he stayed an entire week and I rode over for a couple of days so it broke up the time a little. He had a great time over there, took swimming lessons for 5 days and passed the level 1 swim class, he is still timid in the water but I think it is important for them to learn how to swim. Most of the cousins were there and they had a great time just playing together, helping grandma in the yard, playing with MJ (the dog), making smores at night, and swimming. Jaxen you are so lucky that you have a great family that takes the time out to play with you and to take care of you when you are gone....Summer is slipping by and then we move on to the next phase of school. I can't believe my baby goes to Kindergarten...Life is good, especially when you have a smile like the little man....I love that kid!  photo ava4-2.jpg

{HAPPY BIRTHDAY}....the big "16", can't believe that is even possible. I put 14 candles on your cake hoping that it wasn't true, but it is, the driver license in your hand is more than enough to prove it. You are the best kid a mom could ask for, you are funny, a hard-worker, a friend, a great brother and many other things at that. At 16 you.....love music, hanging out with your buddies, your new truck, you love that you have a job so all those things like that rockin stereo system can become possible. You love staying up late, lifting weights, chocolate milk, mountain dew, your little brother, baseball. I love this time in your life even if it kinda makes me a little teary to think that time is soon running out and you before I know it you will be packing your bags and moving on to another phase in your life. I love your carefree spirit and how you can hang out and be friends with anyone around. You are such a great kid and you make me proud everytime I look at you....keep up your love for life and always make the best out of what life offers you. I LOVE YOU....but turn down the stereo.  photo image1.jpeg  photo image3.jpeg

july 4th....

{Time is flying by}....for me and I am sure everyone else. I can't believe that it is the fourth of July already and summer will be over as fast as it started. I am super behind on my blog and my life but what do you do. We have had a great summer this year. I have been working a lot and so I have tried to sneak in some fun times when we get a chance. Jaden is playing summer baseball and doing pretty good, he got a job this summer working for my brother and it has been a little rough trying to work, lift weights, hang-out, play baseball and just be a kid. More hours in the day would sometimes be nice. Jaxen just finished up T-ball, he wasn't a huge fan, wanted to play with the big boys. All in all life is moving by and I am trying to just enjoy the moment and live life. HAPPY 4th of JULY....  photo jaxen4x62-1.jpg  photo jaxen2-31.jpg
