Jackson Turns 3

Jackson turned three in July, we had a birthday party in August, and I am blogging about it in September. So I am a little late again!! I think Jackson has inherited my love of birthdays. All month long he kept saying, "I want that for my birthday." Actually, he is STILL saying that. I am trying to explain to him that he now needs to work on his Christmas wish list. The boy definitely understands and loves presents.

We had a small family celebration involving cupcakes, presents, and Potbelly - can it get much better than that? The day started with "popcirlces" with friends at the park and lunch at his favorite restaurant Potbelly. We then made cupcakes and waited patiently for daddy to come home so we could open presents.


Jackson and one of his friends, Bradford, had their birthday party together at JW Tumbles. I have to say that it is one of the best places to have a birthday party. The staff was great, and the kids had a blast. The best part was that I didn't have to clean up and my house didn't get destroyed!!

We could hardly get the birthday boys to sit still long enough to take their picture. This is the best picture we could get.


The kids hung from bars,

went down slides,


kept a very tight hold on the basketball at all times,


constructed bridges,


climbed ladders,


and finally ate birthday cupcakes - to be more specific Jackson ate just the cupcake frosting.


All in all it was a great day or maybe more appropriate a great birthday month.
