Possible Career Option #2

Besides his fetish for airplanes, tractors are the other hot item around the house. The kid was in heaven when he realized their was a construction site within spitting distance of Uncle Casey's townhouse. Even happier when he talked Casey into walking him across the street for a closer glimpse.

Caught him on more than one occasion watching google-eyed from the second floor.

It Ain't Easy Being Green

Not sure what they put in that Old Bay Seasoning, but I think it affecting the kiddo's hands.

Rocket-Man

Just waiting his turn to board the plane and head towards Maryland.

The kid damn near jumped out of his shoes he was so excited to be at the airport after a week of mom asking him if he was ready to get on his "aeroplane."

Next time we need something to do, I may go find the nearest airstrip and park at the end and let the kid have at it. I could handle my boy being a pilot.

Party Like It's 1974

Full blown disco dress up with disco balls, Saturday Night Fever, and even some fondue like they did it back in the day.

Actually beating the 9pm bed time we usually end up giving into on the weekends (at least momma and Jax), we escaped and headed to a surprise party for Scott given to him by his soon-to-be momma wife Katy.

Momma and Dad made the 70's costume possible, but we rocked the kid out in a more grunged-out Slater from Dazed and Confused look.

He's With The Band

For Halloween: Ballon-For-Head-Guy

How Hue Are You

Nothing to do with the kid, but a sweet little test of how color sensitive your eyes are.

FYI - I scored a 12. The lower the better.

Packed & Ready

With the high prices of air travel, and our upcoming trip to Maryland to see Uncle Peeb's and Aunt K get married; we figured this was the only option.

Give him some milk and come fruit snacks and he will be good.

If any one has some better ideas, I'm open for discussion.

Must Be Soft Spoken

No matter what his approach method was, the old man sketching just stood there like a statue.

For Sale: Cheap Fun

In an attempt to raise money to renovate a few donated playgrounds at Jaxson's school; the parents held a garage sale. Not sure how much money we raised, but the various items managed to keep the kids engaged while the parents slaved away for the greater good.

Now, If He Would Just Mow The Grass

No grass, no problem. The kid will mow anything:

Concrete. Done.

Feet. Done.

Another Kid. Done.

The Road Is Calling

Moment In The Sun

Happiness

I have a feeling, that in his head he was thinking:

"Fruit Loops in my mouth, and some apple juice to wash it down. Does life get any better?"

Three Generations; One Backstage

The two Wheat boys decided to join Boo and Pops for a weekend of camping and Texas Music.

Twice a year, Pops ventures out into the sticks and occasionally we join the ride. With momma out of town for a childhood friend's wedding, we couldn't turn down a family weekend together with the grandparents.

Throw in some outdoor cooking, a dose of friendly Texas folks, a pinch of live music, stir in some Boo and Pops, and top-it-off with satellite TV so you don't miss the Horn's game; and you get yourself a big 'ole batch of fun.

Long time friend and band leader, Cody Gill, hooked us up with some backstage passes for the big show on Saturday night. All three generations took in some great live music, free food, and free drinks (big smile from this kid).

With Boo taking the kiddo and hitting the horizontal sleeping position early (a big thanks goes out to you for that), Pops and I were able to hang and hear some tunes with a great view.

All in all, a great night and a great time; especially when you look this freaking cool drinking chocolate milk at 6pm.

Boys and Their Toys

Stop Motion Animation Of A Bear Beat-Down

Mixed Emotions

The kid didn't know if he should smile, laugh, cry, or scream; so, he decided to scream.

Where's My BMW?

You got to admit, the kid looks good with his new look via Esther.

Cake and Smiles

Doing The Juice Thing

Riding The Train To Sugar-highville.

Insane cake made by Mimi.

The kid loved it, loved it so much that it almost visited the train grave yard (Jax's tummy) before the party got under way.

I Think We Picked The Right Gift

Uh Oh, We Got A Pyromaniac On Our Hands.

Look at the gleam in that boy's eyes.

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

This Train's Headed To Fun City, Who's Coming?

Unknowingly, the kid was with us when we bought his favorite (so far) birthday present, the inevitable wooden train set that all boys get as kids.


Just over a month ago we made the hike to Ikea in far north Dallas, we try to stay out of Big-D as much as possible - heck, the Cowboys don't even want to be there....but I digress.

Like I was saying, when we made the trip we saw this sweet little set and couldn't pass up a deal that would hopefully make the kiddo a happy little engineer.

So thanks for our friends at Ikea, we scored this great little wooden train set that the kid can't seem to get enough of.

Dad: Jax, you wanna eat?
Jax: No.
Dad: Jax, you want to read a book?
Jax: No.
Dad: Jax, you want to breathe?
Jax: Does it involve my new train?
Dad: Well, sure.
Jax: Then yes.

Now He's Officially My Son
