Things have been crazy busy. I know I have lived every day of this year but I can't believe how fast it has gone and I have Jax and other sweet kids to remind me that the holidays are just around the corner and it doesn't help that stores like Big Lots already have Christmas stuff up and displayed. Crazy.

I am just gonna post a few pictures of the boys. I have a lot more but am too tired to post them all. Things are good. Jax has been tracked out for 3 weeks and it's been a hard 3 weeks. Jax has been so lucky to have scholarships the last two years for the Track out Academy one week and YMCA the next week leaving only one week home. I didn't feel right for him to go again this year as there are so many other mothers who work and struggle for some sanity so I didn't apply. I always thought it was mean when parents couldn't wait for school to start but I already have his back pack.... packed... heheheheeheee!!!

This week was busy with dentist, doctors appointments and a teachers conference. Jax is doing good in school although he hates it. He is SO my child. He has major struggles with not only his ADHD, OCD with germs, but writing and reading in reverse and mirror images. For example, when Jax writes CAT he writes it right to left so it comes out spelling CAT but he starts with the T first then the A, then C and he writes right to left instead of left to right. So, we continue to retrain the brain. His chronic allergies add to his frustration and once we think Zyrtec or Claritin or another allergy med will work it adjusts too fast to his body. The same thing happens with his ADHD meds but thank goodness so far so good with that.

But thru all his challenges he continues to be up beat, off the wall and just whacky fun. He is very positive and as long as he can run for hours, be outside or play music he is a happy kid. I adore him. There is NEVER a dull moment with Jax around it's quite fun.


Ashton is almost 21 months now. Hard to believe he is almost 2. My sweet little baby is not as sweet as he used to be... just kidding... he is a booger though. He doesn't like to share any more, he has turned into a screamer. He is always happy but will scream for anything and every thing. He climbs like no other. He talks ALOT! He says No! No! Mama or No!No! AX, More Juice, Please, and lots of other words. You definately knows what he wants and how to get it. He has me wrapped around his finger. He now plops on the floor in protest and screams even louder when I walk past him and ignore him. The Terrible Two's.

I adore him. I love the top picture. He reminds me so much of my Mom. Sweet like she is, and I continue to do double takes as he has my Mom's mannerisms and ways. Ash LOVES Jax. He LOVES to run up to JAx when he gets home from school and he LOVES to go thru his back pack and find treasures. In the morning Ash grabs his back pack and walks with Jax to the bus and cries when he has to say good bye. He wants to do EVERYTHING Jax does (much to Jax's dismay, sometimes). Ashton continues to be my saving grace and I just love him.

I will try and post faster. September and October are fast filling up with lots of fun things and acitivities and life so I will try.
