AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2018

 Time to go back to school! Beckett is starting Kindergarten, which means this is our last year at the wonderful Walker preschool. It is hard to believe that next year both kids will be at the lower school. Beckett has worked so hard with his tutors and teachers and is so ready to be a kindergartner!

 Last pic in front of the preschool.

 Beckett's teachers Mrs. Slade and Mrs. Kahn. We are looking forward to an amazing year and can't wait to see all that Beckett is going to accomplish!

 My big fourth grader!!

 So excited to have Mrs. Ahmed this year!

 Obligatory first day pics...he looks thrilled! Growing up to be such a handsome boy though!!

 Still a little more cooperative.

 Sweet brothers.

 I realized I haven't taken any pics of our puppies recently...Lava Ball and Sweetie Girl.

 Start of school also means the start of sports. We are on the Southwest Sox again this year and looking forward to a fun season of baseball. We had the first meeting at our house so the kids could have some fun swimming and playing on the court.

 We were able to sneak away for Labor Day to the beach for one last beach trip to Kiawah. I just love how Beckett is looking at his daddy in this pic.

 Dad of the year! Im not sure how he made it all the way back with the boat, but he did it!

 New boogie boards.

 Little surfer!

 Every single trip I make them take a pic on the boardwalk. This is our happy place and one day I hope to comprise all the photos on this boardwarlk....

 Jackson starting off the school year right!

 Beckett is playing at the YMCA this year for soccer. This is his first year playing anywhere besides the church league. Excited for him!

 Still loving Clemson!

 Beckett is also going to give lacrosse a try this year!

 Homecoming week! Day 1 was dress like your favorite character. Becektt chose Jack Sparrow and Jackson is Rinaldo.

 Day 2...Dress like your favorite animal. Gorilla and Jackson said he is a home sapien.

 Day 3...preschool was crazy sock day and stripes and lower school was dress like somebody else...Jackson chose his teacher Mr. Dalton.

 Beckett lost another tooth!

 Last day was wear your finest.

 Beckett is playing U7 lacrosse and they aren't supposed to play in any games. Unfortunately, the U9 didn't have enough players so the U7 had to step it up. I was a little nervous that Beckett was going to get hurt and then hate it, but he did great. He got knocked down a couple times but got right back up and kept going!

 Georgia football game! So fun!! The kids are so spoiled to be able to watch the game in a box.

 We had our first baseball tournament and the Sox came out on top!

 What a victory!

 Number 1!

 Crazy siblings....I think they were a little excited that it was over.

 Jackson and Coach Brent.

 It was a super long day at the field but so fun to watch them win!

 Let's go home!

 Beckett and Ava.

My super sweet boy.

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.

 Southwest Sox representing in Florida!

 Beckett and Ava. The traveling sibs.

 We stayed at a beautiful resort.

 Southwest Sox pool party!

 Tournament swag.

 Southwest Sox 9U

They played great and actually came home as Runner's Up losing in a battle in the championship game.

 Doing his thing on the mound

 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!!
