Swim, Jackson, Swim

Jackson had a great summer swim season!

Lincoln was a trooper and loved helping Daddy time.

Hanging out between races!

A tent is a necessity!

Swimming for Jesus!

Love my swimmer!

Staying warm and passing time between races.

Keeping Lincoln occupied:) 

Jackson continued to drop time in all four strokes all season long. He qualified for Ponderosa in free, back, and fly as a 7 year old in the 7/8 group.

Pep Rally before Divisonals!

Jackson always has friends on the ready bench!

Great action shots!

Jackson got to participate in two Progressive relays at Ponderosa.

Ponderosa Day 1: Jackson made finals in back and dropped time in both free (16.00) and back (19.76). So proud of him!

Ponderosa Day 2

So fun watching Jackson swim! Love watching him improve and his passion grow!

Father's Day 2016

We started the day celebrating Brian with donuts!

Jackson and Lincoln are so lucky to have such a loving, supporting, involved, hands on, fun dad!

He is the best partner to have in life and raising our boys! His love is endless and he spoils each one of us!

We love him and are so thankful for all he does!

Brian even let Jackson and me have a date to see James and the Giant Peach on Father's Day. We grilled steak for dinner, and then headed out to the ponds to fish. We at least had to do his favorite thing on  Father's Day!!

It was so beautiful out there, and we even saw a rainbow! So peaceful!

We caught mostly little ones in the beginning.

Excitement for a bigger fish!

And we ended the night with Jackson catching a huge large mouth bass!!

What a special evening!

God is amazing!
