Jackson Turns 5.... say what??

Yes, it's true.  I now have a 5 year old.  CRAZY, yet he most definitely looks and acts like a 5 year old... sometimes more like a 10 year old.

This year Jackson had one of the most exciting birthdays he will probably ever get.... on his big day, we flew on an airplane down to Southern California to Grammie and Papa's house and were able to have a Star Wars party with his Uncles and Aunts and Cousins.  We also sort of celebrated Baron's birthday too since we were for once with family around their birthdays (Baron's is coming up this next week!)  They had a GREAT time.  They got to watch Star Wars for the first time, played non-stop, opened presents (which consisted of mostly Star Wars toys), sang Happy Birthday and ate cake and ice cream.  It was a very fun night!



The Cake my mom made... you can't tell too well from this picture, but those are all star wars pictures on toothpicks.  The boys loved it. And Jackson had asked for a chocolate cake with green frosting, so it was perfect!








Jackson is such a sweet and fun little boy to have in our family.  He still loves and excels at all sports including swimming, he never forgets to say thank you, is always concerned about everyone else, loves to compliment others, loves singing in primary, is still amazingly tall, LOVES preschool and learning how to read and about new things, writes his name and letters like a pro, loves figuring out how to spell words, is super into transformers and star wars right now, is an amazing big brother and loves his brother, can be such a goof ball at times, and is seriously so much joy to have around! He is smart, kind, sweet, energetic and cautious.... all in one lean, tall and handsome little boy body.  LOVE THAT KID!!!
