Jackson was very excited about the Boy Scouts this year. A scout leader came to his school and told the boys all about the fun they would have if they joined. It’s all he talked about on the way home from school. Tris and Jackson went to the informational meeting and came back as official boy scouts. I’m not sure who was more excited, Tris or Jackson. Being a boy scout is very involved. They have meetings on the first three Tuesdays of every month, plus outings to earn badges. Jackson has officially earned his first badge, the “Bobcat” badge. He is very proud of his first badge. To see photos of Jackson receiving his first badge and attending his first activity (visit to a fire station) click here.
The boy scouts have already had their yearly fundraiser. Jackson sold popcorn in September. If you’re thinking you got lucky and didn’t have to buy popcorn…think again. We signed some of our dearest family members up to buy popcorn without them knowing. So get your check books out because Jackson will be delivering some overpriced popcorn to your door during Thanksgiving break!!

Jackson used some of his birthday money and bought a pair of inline skates and safety pads. He was torn between inline skates and a skateboard (my brother would be so proud) but we decided to try the skates first and move to a skateboard when he was a little older. He started off by practicing in the basement of my mom’s house. It didn’t take him long before he was outside on the driveway. Take a look at some of the photos of Jackson skating and the video of him skating down the driveway. After watching the video, I think he needs a pad for his bum!

Jackson has been playing baseball at the North YMCA all summer. His team is called the “Shocker Tigers”. He has really enjoyed playing baseball this summer, although it has become much harder. The previous season Jackson played T-ball. This season is machine pitch. Check out Jackson’s baseball video and his baseball photos.

Jackson turns 6 today and we couldn’t be happier. His birthday party is this Saturday afternoon at Pump It Up. We will have cake and ice cream there to help celebrate. If you plan on coming, please let us know. See you there.
Pictures of Jackson’s party are posted in the “Photo Gallery”. Look closely…you may even see Papa Vic cutting loose and going down a slide!
