Summer 2018

 Summer 2018 was filled with sports, beach, friends, and a special trip to Chicago to wish a special lady a happy 90th birthday. Jackson played both travel lacross and travel baseball this year. He joined the Crossfire team and we had the best time. We traveled to our first tournament in Nashville, TN and the boys brought home a championship!
 Do they look a little hot?
 Champions in Nashville!
 We ahd a special visit from Andrew and Betsy and went to the Fox to see Hamilton. It was amazing!!
 I spy with my little eye...Beckett gets dragged all over the place and finds interesting ways to entertain himself.
 They really do love eachother!
 The many faces of Beckett....
 Opening my phone is always a surprise!
 Happy Father's Daddy! New lights for his jeep this year.
 Next tournament was in Peachtree City. Champions again!
 Beckett practicing his writing while we are at the airport. We had to fly to Destin for the last baseball tournament.

 We had a special visit from Cortney and her daughters Grayson and Avery Kate. Kistin and her kids also made the trip! We spent the day at the beach and had a great time!
 For the 4th of July we were off to our happy place....Kiawah! Beckett getting his post beach bubble bath.
 Surfs up!
 Just a little predinner drink and snack while rocking on a rocker. Can life get any better?
 Catching a wave!

 The boys loved riding the waves in their 5 dollar and below boat!
 We had a first this year. We headed the golf course hitting range.
 Getting a read on the green....
 Crazy boy...
 Nothing to see here....just a bucket...filled with ice cream.
 This year we stayed down in Charleston for the 4th. We checked into our hotel and the boys were given some apple juice to cheers to..
 The hotel had bikes we could use so we hit the town to look at some sites!
 I wonder what he will put in his basket...
 Charleston is such a beautiful city..
 Family pic by the water.
 The boys were hot so they decided to cool off in the fountain.
 Mission accomplished!
 The hotel had a happy hour with drinks and snacks. I had the cutest date...
 Boys also enjoyed some time playing golf at the club..
 We hit white water with cousin Ben.
 Waiting for his tee time..
 Beckett finally lost his tooth!!
Jackson went to his first sleep away camp with his friend Aidan. It was 4 nights.

 Their sleeping quarters. We had to do some spider removal before they could get up there...
 Cabin 87!
 Getting some necessities
 These to have been best buds since age 2...
 Adventure time!
 While Jackson was away, Beckett enjoyed some 1 on 1 time. He became quite the frog catcher...
 They survived! Their most adventurous day was when they had to hike to their campsite, set up their tent to sleep, and then cook their own meal called a Hobo dinner. They said it was pretty good. They were not so excited about having to get up at 6 am and hike back though...
 Jackson had a good time but when I asked him if he wanted to go again, he was not so sure.
 We flew home to surprise my Grandma for her 90th birthday!
 Happy birthday Grandma!

 Wow day! Getting ready to start Kindergarten!
 Sumer is coming to an end and it was time to meet our new teachers.
 Beckett has Mrs. Slade and Mrs. Kahn for Kindergarten.
 Big 4th grade locker.
 Jackson has Mrs. Ahmed for 4th grade.
And what better way to end the summer!! Braces are off!!
