Jackson is 3!

How did my baby boy who started out so little…

get so big? I can’t believe how fast the time has gone and how grown up he is. But we love watching him grow and learn. He’s such a smart little sucker! We had a great day celebrating him.

This was the first year that Jackson has been really excited about his birthday. He’s been looking forward to it since Sam and I had our birthdays in July. As it turns out, Jackson was really sick on his birthday, but luckily we celebrated a week early since his Gympie cousins would be in town. It turned out great!

We had a great family party complete with bbq, gifts, and cake and ice cream. Jackson had the time of his life being the center of attention and running crazy with all the cousins. He was just so happy to finally have his birthday. A couple of days later he told Sam that he didn’t have a dream about monsters, but about his birthday at Grandma’s.

I don’t have too many photos, but here are a few to document the occasion.

Jackson with all his gifts…he was very spoiled this year since Nana brought presents from all the family back in Utah.

I really wanted to make a pirate ship cake, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t talk Jackson out of the moon one. And since it was his birthday and all, I let him win.

 

He was pretty bad at blowing out the candles, poor kid. We’ll have to work on that before next year.
