Jackson's 10th Birthday

        

I can't believe my first baby is 10! How did he get to be 10 already? It seems like just yesterday that he surprised us all by arriving 6 weeks early, and now he's a handsome, strong, crazy-smart and wonderfully kind young man who makes us proud every day! 

I took him down to the Arboretum to take some birthday pictures at the Chihuly exhibit. 

And on the actual day of his birthday, this was breakfast: 

Lemon cupcakes with vanilla icing! Yum! 

Later that day, we went to the Rangers game and watched them beat the Detroit Tigers. Go Rangers!

Jackson's seat was a very appropriate number.

By 9 pm, it was still 100 degrees out. HOT!!! So we got some sno cones to cool down.

Here's an official pic of Jacks and me at the game:

This was the cake he chose for his party. Note the writing on the truck. :)

One of the presents I was most excited about was a little bit of spending money...wrapped up in a pretty creative way (Thanks, Pinterest!). 

But the present he liked the best was a blue and yellow lava lamp. Groovy, baby! 

Happy Birthday, Jacks! We love you very much!
