A few of our firsts in the month of July!

The month of July has been CRAZY! With vacations, work, soccer, and everything else we have had several things happen that are a little out of the ordinary for the Jones family!

*Josh was selected to coach the State All-Star Team (P.S. HUGE honor) for the first time since he's being coaching high school ball at Salem (*cough*cough* eight years!)...so proud of him!

*While on the way to the All-Star game in Hampton, Josh got his 1st speeding ticket! :(

*I attended my first MLB game: Nats vs Cardinals

*Jackson got his first hair cut! Doesn't he look estatic?! He was not happy about it so we had to give him a bottle that squirted water and had grandmommy as a target to distract him! Thanks for taking one for the team Ma! haha

*Our family took our first vacation to a few busy hectic cities-Baltimore and DC!

*Josh broke his hand in 2 places (1st time he has broken any bones). Check out the cast, can we say HOTNESS! By the way I need to ad that this is the first time that I'm really playing mommy to now 2 boys! :) I love it though!


*I am attending and assisting Vacation Bible School for the first time. :) Helping out with the 3 year olds,...it's hectic but exciting! Amazing to see what God has in store for these little ones!

*Saw poppop flying his airplane! Daddy has been working so hard for his pilot license and I could not be more happy and proud of him. Here he is landing, might I add, "on his own". You are my hero!

*I saved one of my favorites for last. Jackson has been quite the monkey and chatter-box lately however will just call me momma or mom. He FINALLY said mommy! He has said SO many words and him saying mommy was one I have been waiting for! I know it doesn't seem like much and may seem silly but I was filled with so much joy. My heart melted!

Can't wait to see what new adventures August has in store for us! :)
