Here we go..

I have been wanting (and needing) to start a blog for quite a while now.  We have so many people asking how the kids are and what is new with us, so I thought I should just put all these little tidbits in one location.  Not to mention, it will help me to remember and journalize all the adorable things the kids do daily that I will probably forget as my age keeps increasing. 

So I guess I should start with the basics.  We are the Jackson family of four.  Kevin (Daddy) and Brooke (Momma) are the ring leaders in this circus we call life.  I work from home as an Instructional Designer and Kevin is a technical analyst at a local Naval Base.  Our oldest Sawyer (aka Drama Queen) is 4 going on 14.  Roman (aka Sports Machine) is 3 and is not often seen without a golf club or bat in his hand.  As you can see, life is full of interesting moments with a 4 and 3 year old running around all day (especially when you throw drama, bats, and clubs in the mix).

Now, to catch you up on what is current in our life.  Work definitely keeps Kevin and I busy, but the kids keep us even busier.  Sawyer is cheering for the first time this year.  She is a natural and I must hear no less than 100 cheers a day at home (many of which I have to participate in).  Roman, well he would love to play football or teeball but he just wasn't old enough this year, although he is bigger than many of the boys Sawyer cheers for.  The good news is that since we have mastered potty training in preparation for returning to preschool, he will get to play teeball in the spring (and yes, we did bribe him). 

Ok, so as not to overwhelm you with too much at once, I will call it a first day.  I hope you guys enjoy reading about the happenings in our life and I hope something will touch your life the way all of you have touched ours.
