Jackson is finally 3!! At first I thought, I'm glad he is 3 because he looks like he is about 4 or 5 and so it was always annoying to have to explain that the reason he is not in school or reading or can't tell you his favorite flavor of ice cream is because he is actually only 2! But he has been 3 for less than a week and I've already had someone say "How old are you? 3? Are you turning 4 soon?" The kid is just so darn tall. And he is really getting smart! He always amazes us the things he knows!
Anyways, Jackson had a GREAT Buzz Lightyear birthday!! My sister, Shannon came up to help out and to celebrate with us since John was out of town at a training until Friday night. Thursday night, (even though the 19th is his actual b-day, we celebrated Friday so John could make it home for cake & ice cream!), after the kids went to bed, Shannon & I got busy decorating our front room with streamers and all kinds of Buzz stuff. We wrapped all his presents too, so he woke up Friday morning to all the decorations! Then, after he opened his presents (Little Buzz, big huge tall Buzz as he calls it, Buzz fake camera, Mr. & Mrs. potato Head + Baby Potato, Buzz pj's, Buzz & Woody t-shirt, some sweet sweatpants/coat, a new sweatshirt, and some cars of course!), we took Jackson to the Portland Children's museum. It is the cutest museum ever with so much to do! We spent a few hours there, grabbed some Five Guy's Burgers and Fries for lunch, and headed back home. Then, Jackson helped make his own birthday cake (we thought that would be more fun for him then me trying to make something all fancy and creative), and he LOVED doing that! He picked blue frosting and put LOTS of sprinkles all over and decided that 3 candles was not enough, so he added a lot more! It was definitely the ugliest cake I have seen, but he was really excited about all of it! Daddy made it home from his training in San Francisco just in time to sing to Jackson and give him his last present- a new airplane from the airport that Jackson LOVES. (It's his Big Jet for all you Little Einstein fans). Later that night my sister and I went and saw New Moon... so good! More on that and the sight-seeing we did with Shannon will come in the next post. :)
So Jackson had a great birthday! Here's pictures for proof:
this is what Jackson woke up to
taking a picture of the baby "tato" that he made (he got the best set of 3 from my parents- Mr., Mrs., and Baby Potato Head). He of course loved it since it was from Toy Story

Looks like lots of fun!! The cake looks very tasty!! Happy B-day Jackson!! It is a good day : )
What a great birthday!! Fun, fun, fun - all the Buzz stuff. What is it with little boys and Buzz Lightyear?! We'll see how Ethan takes to him once he finally watches Toy Story. :) I hadn't seen any pictures of the new place, so it threw me off to see the decorations - I was reading, but still picturing the townhouse you moved from.
Hard to believe he is already three. Such a cutie!!
What a great bday for Jackson! We loved the Children's Museum - great idea. Oh, and to answer you're question, there are some times when your pictures don't come up and some times when they do. I know that's not much help, but there you go. :S
