Jax Lax!

Jackson is attending a Lacrosse Sports Camp this week in Albuquerque, hosted by one of John's lacrosse players, Michael Mooney. Jackson went to last year's lacrosse camp, too and had a great time. He has been really excited about this year's camp.

It is all week, and all day. In the hot New Mexico sun. They are having a blast!

John took this picture. He gets a kick out of laying out Jackson's lacrosse gear the night before.
Jeremiah, Jenna and I stayed home, so all the photos following were taken by either Jackson or John. John, feeling the heat. Notice he's proudly wearing his UNM Lacrosse Head Coach shirt, too.
Jax: A Self-Portrait.
Jackson loves his helmet, so he took a photo of it!
He is SOOOO excited about his new Defensive Lax stick! And he is doing awesome with it, too!
Posing with hs brand new stick! VERY happy boy!
Some of the lacrosse camp attendees, volunteers and coaches. John is also helping to coach the kids, too. Jackson is loving that he gets to do lacrosse with his Daddy.
Another happy Jax Lax pose!
Covered in mud, he was having a blast!
A couple of Coach Mooney's friends, two UNM girls showed up with coolers of Red Bull. Jackson was smitten...not just with the Red Bull either. He thought these girls were very cute! (He even blushed telling me about them.) Gosh! My little boy is not so little anymore! So, he decided to take their picture.
He even took several photos of the girls as they walked away!
He's been making some new friends, getting tons of outside exercise (goes to sleep as soon as it's dark outside), honing his lacrosse skills, and growing up to be an amazingly handsome young man. I'm SO proud of my Jackson. He is such a wonderful young person. I'm so blessed that he's my son.
