Back to School!!

The kids 1st day picture was TERRIBLE so I'm posting this one instead! On the 2nd day of school Jackson turned 15 and successfully got his driving temps and Addy her license. Craziness!!

Addy driving away for the 1st time. Her choice location...Hobby Lobby.

We celebrated Josh's 44th Birthday with a family party and Chinese food. Jackson chose Chick-Fil-A and a famous Mimi ice cream cake for his special day. No good pics.

We got in one last airsoft game before the start of school with the famous Sniper Dude, aka Khan's friend from college that the kids have a great time talking about.

We went on a quick trip to Myrtle Beach one weekend to see Jackson run in a cross country meet. A view from the hotel, only the little boys came with us while Addy stayed with Mimi.

Jackson did outstanding! He ended up staying with his team for another night on the beach.

Look who else is running cross country this year!? Go Aaron!! He's also doing great. The boys have practice everyday after school.

Josh and I went to Raleigh to see Jackson run top 7 varsity. He got his best time of 20:09 for a 5k. His goal is in the teens by the end of the season.

Benny is playing fall soccer. He scored his 1st two goals during recent games. He's so tough and adorable at the same time!

Addy and Benny gathering pumpkin seeds. These two spend time together daily while the boys are at practice. Now that Addy can drive she's busy with crafts, babysitting and visiting friends.

Carved by the very talented Jackson.

Addy's school picture junior year.

Jackson as a freshman.

Aaron's 7th grade picture.

Benny in 5th grade, his last year of elementary school.

And the last BIG news...we got a new (used) Honda CR-V!!!! With 4 drivers, and the kids not wanting to drive our huge truck, we needed another vehicle.
