Let's catch up!

It's been quite a while since the last real Jaxn update! A lot has happened over the last few months. Summer is finally here and we will be doing plenty to keep busy over the summer! We hope everyone has a wonderful summer and we'll be sure to keep you updated on our summer events!

Ms. Alyssa

Alyssa is our daily entertainment. She is talking in sentences and says some really funny things. She is OBSESSED with Dora and with changing outfits about 5 times a day. Her hair is wild and we are trying to tame it with piggies, but we think Alyssa likes the wild side of her hair better. The boys can't get away with anything anymore, she is the reporter of everything that goes on. She is even potty training herself.

Angel's Baseball Season

Cole is playing baseball on the Angel's this season. He is getting better at hitting, catching and even TRYING to slide...he is still working on that skill!

Graduating class of 2019!

Cole has graduated from kindergarten!! Cole's teacher had this to say about Cole: "Cole came into kindergarten so shy and nervous. I had so much empathy for him becuase that was exactly how I used to be. Cole quickly adapted to our classroom and made tons of friends. He is one of the hardest working students I know and is always striving to do his best. Cole only asks questions when he truly needs help and is always the first to help others. I have enjoyed watching Cole grow into the person he is today. I have no doubt that he will continue to have the stength of spirit and integrity he has today."

Happy 10th birthday Brady!

Brady celebrated his 10th birthday on May 14th! We celebrated by hanging out at Uncle David's house and lunch at the 'house' table (in the kitchen) at Buca De Bepo.

March of Dimes WalkAmerica

We once again participated in the annual March of Dimes WalkAmerica in late April. Brady and Cole are getting old enough to really understand the meaning behind our walk. The walk is such a great family event with unfortunately TOO many families affected by infant immortality and prematurity. THANKS to MOM, LIZA, GEORGE,GRETA, CHRISTY & ANDREA for donating and supporting our annual walk in honor of our miracle Cole and our Angel Christopher!

Spring Scouting

Scouting has consumed our lives! We camped three times this spring and did so much during each camping trip. When we camp, we travel all over Ohio to participate in various activities the state has to offer. Some activities he has enjoyed has been repelling, making arrowheads, learning about the Locks of Ohio & how canals work (the boats in the canals are still pulled by donkeys) and having an encounter with an Army Drill Sergeant (my personal favorite)! Next school year will be the big transition from Cub scouts to Boy scouts and in a few years to a worthy Eagle Scout.

Archibald Strickler Jackson

Archibald Strickler is the newest member of the Jackson family. Archie is an English Bulldog and is currently 9 weeks old and about 11 pounds. We are adjusting to the 3am potty breaks, the smell of Resolve carpet cleaner, the biting, the chewing, the wrinkles and the innocent 'puppy' look on his face when he has done something wrong. Summertime is the perfect time for our family to get our newest member. Hopefully by the time school starts in mid August we will ALL be completely adjusted and trained!
