Father/Son time

Saturday, after lunch Jesse and Austin decided they were going to spend some father/son time. Austin loves to do all kinds of things, and loves to help. Jesse had promised him that he would build him a soccer goal for our backyard. Austin was so excited to finally get to do this. Jesse and I ran to good old Rural King and got the parts we needed in order to build this. When we returned Austin was ready to head to the garage to help Jesse. He was so funny because Hailee tried to go out there and help and Austin said, " I am spending time with Jess and I want it to be just me and him." So I finally talked Hailee into staying inside with me and doing a few girl things. Ha ha. After lots of work, they were done. Austin was so happy. He got to spend alone time with Jesse, and got a soccer goal. Jesse and I carried it out back, while the kids got their soccer balls out and practiced in the back yard.

It wasn't long til the neigbor boys came and had to try it out to. You know what... Even though technically Austin isn't Jesse's son threw blood, it doesn't matter. Jesse has taken him in under his wing and treats him like his own. Austin has been needing time with his dad, and has been let down many times... The smile on his face to have this alone time with Jesse was so wonderful to see.
