Happy 7th Birthday Jackson!

It's hard to believe that our biggest little man is now 7 years old! He had a great day on Friday. We started off the morning with cinnamon rolls, and he headed to summer camp wearing his new watch (he begged to open just one present before he left).

Then when Cody, Luke and I came to pick him up, we had turned the Suburban into a "BirthdayMobile." We painted the windows with little messages and filled the inside of the car with balloons. He LOVED it! He climbed in with the biggest smile on his face. Of course, he said, "This is weird!" while giggling, but when I asked him if he liked it, he said, "YES!"


Cody did a good job keeping our plan to decorate the car a secret until we picked Jacks up. Wink, wink!

That night, Jacks got to choose when we went for dinner, and he chose Chuy's. We let the waiter know when we first arrived that we had a birthday in our party, so after our meal, he came over with a sombrero for Jackson, some birthday sopapillas, and a group of other servers to sing to our guy. I thought Jacks would be very embarrassed, but he seemed to love it.


On Saturday morning, Jackson had a baseball game before his birthday party. And guess what? At that game, he got his first hit of the whole season. Yippee!!

Then, it was on to Adventure Landing for some fun in the arcade, miniature golf, GoKarts and bumper boats. We were lucky to have Aunt Beth visiting from Houston for the occasion, and she kept Cody company throughout the party so he wouldn't feel left out. I think he likes her. A lot.


Jacks chose a Wall-E cake. It was pretty yummy!


Holy cow, it was HOT out there. The kids all had a great time, but we were all slightly melted by the time we were done. Jacks invited just 4 classmates and it was a really fun, sweet group.


Jacks loves the ladies. And they love him!


Even Luke played a bit of golf with Grandma.

See those red cheeks? I told you it was hot!!


The whole gang!


Aunt Beth and Cody enjoyed the bumper boats! And Jacks and his friends went for a spin, as well.


Right at the end, Cody decided he wanted to try the Jr. GoKarts. I was a bit worried he'd get in and freak out, but he did great! Look at that concentration!

It was a great party, a great weekend, and a great birthday for Jacks. He really enjoyed the Legos he received, and we went to the Lego store yesterday so he could spend his birthday money and a gift card, too. He's also looking forward to loading up his new MP3 player. ;)

Happy Birthday Jackson! We love you!
