NICKNAMES

All of my kids have nicknames. I decided to make a list of all of them. I realized that some of them we only used when they were babies and some we still use or change as they get older. Nicknames make us feel special, somehow, don't they?



Jaxon: Jaxonian, Jax, Jaxy, cracker-Jax, Jax-attacks, Jaxon-son, JJ-smoothie, J-man, Big-J, J-dude.

Landon: Landy, Landy bandy, Landonbug, Land-rover, L-man, Land-O, Big-L.

Lincoln: Linc, Linky, Lincoln-log, log (I nixed this one), Linc stink, LJ, Little L, SUPERFLUDGE (how could I forget?!) Also, smiley and permagrin.

Jensyn: PRINCESS (this should be the first one! Thanks anonymous), Baby-Sister-angel-girl, Jensy, Jensy-Ju, Jensy-June, angel doll, dolly, dolly-pie, sweet dolly, dolly-girl, sweet baby girl, baby girl, baby-sis, sis, baby sissy, sissy, dolly-sis, brown-eyed girl, sweety-sis, Jensyn-Juniper-Lee-Jones, Juniper, Junebug, juneybug, juney, ju-ju, ju-ju bee, beautiful girl, beautiful sweet pie, sweet angel pie.....................What?!

The Color Test

This took me two tries. If you're bored, try this color test:

baby Stratton!

I couldn't resist posting these pictures of Jensyn with Stratton (he is my sister's baby, 1 1/2). They were so adorable. Jensyn was taking him all around showing him the dogs that were there and then a little girl was blowing bubbles and they were catching them. It was precious.

soccer, soccer and SOCCER

All four kids are playing soccer this fall...so Saturday is now devoted to soccer, soccer and SOCCER. Landon plays on Wednesday night, so that will help a little bit. We started bright and early this morning at 8 a.m. with Jensyn. They won! (I don't think Jensy's foot touched the ball once). Then we had a game for Jaxon at 1:30, he did great!! He has been working and practicing really hard and it paid off! Then Lincoln had a game at 3. He scored two goals!

Jensyn for the "Bluebells"...
Jaxon for the blue sharks...
Lincoln chatting with Uncle Scott at Jaxon's game (thank you everyone for coming)...
Jaxon running hard--I'm a proud soccer mom...
Lincoln for the "orange fire balls" (this is a fun one to yell from the sidelines!) Slurpees all around, courtesy of Grandpa Scott!

"THUMPER"

Jaxon volunteered to bring "Thumper" home from school for the weekend! Lucky us...

U CAN LEARN- Jaxon's first day of school!

Jaxon started his new school today!!! He was so happy and excited to go. When I picked him up, I was very impressed. There are 8 kids in his class and that is all they will allow. His teacher, Lexi, is really young and cute and nice!

House

For those of you who haven't been to my house yet, here is a picture...but please come and visit me!!!!! My favorite part of our house is our porch. We have a northern exposure, so it's always in the shade. I love to come out here and sit and relax or read a book, basically act like I have nothing else in the world to do!!! I know the rockers are a little ma and pa-ish, but I love it!
