"My greatest wish for them is that they accomplish whatever they set out to do in life. All kids have dreams and dream big—I know mine do."

Jody Jackson, mom of Connor, 7, and Caitlyn, 5
In Jody Jackson’s household, a family that plays together stays together. Jackson, anchor and reporter for Fox Sports Arizona, has been a fixture on Valley television for 13 years. Seemingly in their blood (Jackson’s husband, Chad Ackerley, is a former football player at Arizona State University), it is no shock that the couple’s children, Connor and Caitlyn, excel at sports; Connor takes part in flag football and baseball while Caitlyn enjoys soccer and gymnastics. In their free time, the active family enjoys taking to local hiking trails or making memories in their backyard—which is painted to resemble a football field.
