Fun with Goggles
Jacks uses goggles for his swim lessons...it has helped him be much more comfortable putting his face in the water. When we misplaced one pair, Daddy got a package of 3. Suddenly, Cody had a pair, too! Boy, was he excited. He's absolutely in love with them, although I'm not sure he can actually see anything out of them (and looking at some of the pics of Jacks in them, I wonder if he can, either). But who needs to see, when you look so COOL? :P
Cody the Artiste!
A year ago (1st picture), Cody was not a big fan of painting...having it ON him was quite obviously the end of the world. Witness the "now" pictures, though. Much of the paint did actually make it onto the paper (his favorite thing to paint is a tornado, which means he can glop as much paint as possible on the paper and then swirl it around), but a lot ended up decorating his face, his hands, and his hair. He was quite proud of himself, as you can see by the smile in the last shot above. As long as he sticks with body art that is washable/removeable, I can handle it. For now. :)
Jackson's 5th Birthday
We had Jackson's party at a local kids' gymnastics school called Infinite Bounds. They have bounce houses, balance beams, bars, and trampolines, but the biggest hit was the trampoline runway the kids could use to fling themselves into a pit of foam blocks. Surprisingly, they spent almost all their time occupied with that, and barely even glanced at the bounce house! Even the adults enjoyed the foam pit, and Jackson's Aunt Tina and Grandpop spent most of the party relaxing in there. Jacks had a great time playing with his friends, and declared his Superman cake "delicious!" It's hard to believe he's 5!

Six Flags
Jacks and I went to Six Flags for the first time with his best friend/girlfriend, Zoe, and her mom, Mara. We had a great time! We spent a lot of time in LooneyToonLand, where all the rides are for kids. Later, we did venture out to try a few other rides, and I learned that Jacks is going to be a big fan of roller coasters. Ack! We stopped often for snacks like cotton candy and ice cream (it was a VERY healthy day), and the kiddos got airbrush tattoos. Jacks can't wait to go back!
