Jack's 14th Birthday

It was really more of a BIRTHDAY WEEKEND! This year, Jack's birthday fell on Labor Day! We kicked the weekend off with having a couple of Jack's buddies go to Buffalo Wild Wings...one of Jack's favorites...and then to the movies.
Caleb, Jack and Carson
They only stayed up until about 3am...woke up before 8am! CrAzY bOyS!! Saturday was spent hanging out together and then swimming at the pool for the afternoon. Around 5pm, Jack started to have this blank stare on his face...just a little tired! Adam & Alyssa came over and we grilled out. Terry and I were like kids in a candy store...we could not wait to give Jack his birthday gift. He was very surprised and speechless, at least we thought. He was actually half asleep!

New .243 Remington

After a good nights sleep, while waiting for the rest of us to get ready for church, Jack asked "can I just hold my gun?" It had finally set in and he was so very excited. NOW he was equipped to shoot some hogs! We went to Morton (Terry's parents farm) and spent the night just so Jack could get some "shoot time" in! He had a blast and is looking forward to some more target time before the "real deal"!


Full Swing

First day of school 2012
Almost 3 full weeks since school has started and we are all pretty well in the swing of things. Kate eagerly started 2nd grade...her teacher is Mrs. White! Of the 4 teachers available, Mrs. White is exactly who she hoped for. Yea!


Kate and I had fun making cookies the night before so she could give this little goodie bag to Mrs. White the first day...it was a hit! (Thank you Pinterest!!)

About right here.............................................................................. is where I should have a picture or two of Jack. Did you know that it's not cool to have your mom taking pictures of you on your first day walking in to 8th grade? Humph! None the less, Jack was very excited about returning to Roosevelt. We met all of his teachers a few nights before school started and Jack was ready to start working on his new goal: do better in 8th grade than in 7th! Another Yea!
