Today, Jax had two flag football games-he played awesome, with at least 7 receptions, 3 for touchdowns! After that, we came back home for a bit, and then decided to go to the Leblond Carnival. We had a lot of fun there, the very long slide was the favorite attraction. We also rode a ride, that took our stomachs and Cole was not pleased (even though he rode it last year and loved it), and I am trying to comfort him and then so is Jackson (proud mama moment right there). I look over and Jax is saying “Hold my hand, Cole. You’re OK”. I was practically in tears on the ride. What a sweet boy I am raising! After that, Jax headed to baseball practice and Cole and I came home. The weather was so beautiful, we were all outside until 9pm, even though it got dark around 7:45. Summer is coming to a close, and we will miss it so much.

It takes a village
This was a fun and full weekend at our house! They say it takes a village to raise a child, and Yesterday we proved that is the absolute truth. Mom and Dad had tickets to the Missouri Tigers Game and finding childcare for the two of you proved to be very difficult. Usually, we would just call Nanny Lauren, and she would handle it, but with her leaving for college, we feel left in a lurch! So, Grandma came over for a few hours, then your cousin Alexandra took over for the afternoon, and finally, Aunt Kerry came over around dinnertime and hung out and put you both to bed. Wow!

These amazing boys!
Cole, your reading is getting better by the day. Dad and I are very impressed by how well you are doing!
You are doing great in 1st grade, and while your teacher just loves you, she has pointed out your orneriness. Nothing we didn't already know there!!
Before bedtime, each of you get to watch about 20-30 minutes of television. Cole, your favorite TV show right now is Wild Kratts-it is a great show that highlights different obscure and not-so obscure animals and gives many interesting facts about them throughout the show.
Jax, this morning you woke up and went downstairs and did your homework without being prompted. I love seeing glimpses of you becoming more responsible. You are getting fantastic grades so far this year, and your math skills are stellar. Jax, you love watching a series on how things are made. Right now you are really enjoying How it's made: Dream Cars.
Actually, both of you seem to have an affinity for math. Which I love, but you get it from Dad!
Both boys are playing baseball this fall and really enjoying it. When we are not at some kind of practice (Cole is also playing soccer and Jax is also playing flag football) or game, you can find us outside playing blitz ball (glorified whiffle ball) or riding bikes or some other activity. We do not spend much time being idle.
We had royals season tickets this year, and had such a fun time going to games with you boys or with friends. The boys love playing in the outfield and we all love cheering on the Kansas City Royals.
I came across this today:
I have heard people say love is weak but they're wrong – love is strong. In nearly everyone it trumps all other things – patriotism and ambition, religion and upbringing. And of every kind of love – the epic and the small, the noble and the base – the one that a parent has for their child is the greatest of them all. -Terry Hayes
