Every Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m., for the past two months, Jackson was cheered on by his favorite fans!
Each quarter would begin with a meet and match up with the opposition.
At half-time the all were gathered for an inspirational message delivered by the community. A mini lesson about life and choices for living a quality childhood while incorporating prayer.
A thrilling season for the whole family!
Meeting new friends, learning to be part of something bigger than himself, and receiving all of he special stars that represent the different aspects of the sport including sportsmanship and Christlike…a true blessing!
Thank you Lord for his health, for his spirit, and for his desire to learn, compete, and participate!

The girls were asked to be flower girls!
The idea of wearing flowers, carrying flowers, and dropping flowers on a path really made these two smile.
For me seeing these two sisters hold hands during the ceremony was a blessing I was happy to share with all attending this wedding.
It was a sunny but cold Sunday afternoon.
They followed one another down the isle only dropping the red roses to one side of the walkway.
They were really sweet looking as they performed their job of dropping rose petals and standing with the bride to be.
Jackson was such a supporter! He was so excited to be their brother giving them a thumbs up and sweet smile as they kept looking at us.
Wishing you the best
