Jackson's Brithday - Part 2

I sure sign that Jackson is getting older is that I didn't get the usual "chicken nuggets and
mac-n-cheese" request for his birthday dinner. This year instead he requested steak, his favorite rice (rice pilaf) and shrimp! Daddy put together a fabulous meal while Jackson and I were at his soccer practice and Jackson loved it. Charlie gave Jackson a skateboard for his birthday and I know Jackson was thrilled.

Pure Joy!

Gramps and Miss Kim took us on an amazing trip to Telluride. I absolutely love this place and while Dad swears I would get tired of it after a long winter - I can't imagine. To me, it is about as close to perfect as it gets. The boys had never seen snow before and they immediately dove in as soon as we got there. Jackson couldn't resist himself and he had to lay down and make snow angels in the first 10 minutes. The boys did so well skiing and loved it. Charlie didn't quite mesh with Mary Pat the ski instructor (imagine that?) but he caught on fine with us. It was beautiful scenery with loads of good food, fun, and memories to cherish! Thanks Gramps and Miss Kim!!

Can it Be??

Somehow, someway our little boy is already turning 6! Jackson wanted to have his party at the Supercross this year and while I was a bit nervous about taking 8 little boys to Reliant Stadium - it was a ton of fun. I think they had a great time and I am pretty sure it is a night Jackson will always remember. We gave the boys red "fauxhawks" and they all thought they were beyond cool!

Pizza at home beforehand....
