Football Fanatic!

Like most little boys, Jackson loves football. He loves playing it, watching it and talking about it. So Friday night we went to our local high school's homecoming game. The energy was intense and for all Jackson knew we were at a professional game the way he reacted. When we got there we lined up at the fence to watch the players run into the stadium...and then chaos erupted.

Jackson's good friend Drew and his brother and father were at the game too. When they saw each other the boys went NUTS!!! What luck to be standing right by them in that crowd! We ended up sitting with them at the game and the boys played their hearts out and cheered whenever either team scored : )

All I can say about these photos is BOYS WILL BE BOYS!

Saturday we were fortunate enough to go quail and pheasant hunting with some friends in the up in the Northwoods. They had a friend with extra birds from their game farm and offered them up to us. So Chris and Charilie planted the birds and Ashley and I hunted. Jackson walked with us and Maggee was out in front. Ashley and I didn't fair so well in the dense brush and pines. This was NOT the typical Iowa pheasant hunting I'm used to. Charlie and Chris did a bit better but many of the birds lived to see another day.

In the end it didn't matter the number of birds we got, we had a great time!

 The first bird shot. Jackson didn't realize when he asked to hold it that it was bleeding pretty bad. Note his face in this picture : )
