My baby is ONE!

How can it be possible that he is a year old already?

We had a fantabulous time at Jackson's 1st birthday party! Here are some highlights:


Contary to popular belief, I did not make the cake.


Not this cake, either.




Jackson plays alongside his good friend Alex. Notice how they are not looking at each other. Or even playing with the same toy. But they still had fun!




Amazingly, Jackson was most excited about receiving pajamas for his birthday. He actually squealed with delight.



Great T-shirt from Uncle Scott, Aunt Nancy, Ryan, and Jessica.

Before digging into the cake...

After.

On second thought, maybe the red wasn't such a great idea after all...

Thanks to all for the thoughtful gifts and best of all for your company on Jack's special day, especially those who were there in spirit!

Hurray for Myrtle Beach!

We love summer! County fairs, walks to the park, beach vacations, swimming. This past weekend Jackson attended his first county fair, where he got closer than he wanted to a very friendly goat. He was a little braver when meeting the bunnies. He had another merry-go-round ride, but this time he rode on a big horse that went up and down. He was a little freaked out at first, but he came around. He may have actually smiled at some point before grabbing onto Mommy for dear life.


Jackson enjoys some time in his swing.








Myrtle Beach, HERE WE COME!
