Happy Birthday Jackson!

Jackson just turned 4 this past Friday. I can't believe that 4 years have gone by. He is no longer a baby or toddler, but is turning into a boy. He is such a fun kid, & we love his personality more than anything. He is constantly bringing laughter into our home & is so easy going. He is such a cuddly boy & I love how he likes to cuddle for a little bit in the morning. He loves Curious George & watches it any time he can get. He is really smart & loves to show off his big muscles. We are so happy to have him in our lives. He is such a little sweetheart & brings joy to my life each day. Happy Birthday Jackson!
For the past 3 years (since Jackson could talk) he has ALWAYS asked for a BALL but not just any ball, a BLUE ball! For Christmas, Birthdays, Easter, anything at the store, it is always a blue ball. For the past 3 years we will ask him. "Jackson, What do you want for your birthday?" and it is always a blue ball! So of course he got his blue ball for his birthday. :)
Morgan got an umbrella from Grandma Karen for her birthday and ever since then Jackson has wanted an umbrella. I found this really cute cars one and he was so excited about it.
Morgan and her friend play dress up all the time and Jackson never has anything to wear, so he goes and puts on his Sunday clothes. I tried finding this last year but couldn't find it anywhere. Thank goodness for Walmart. Jackson had it on most of the day and looked so cute running around in it. I loved seeing these beedy little eyes in the spider man costume.
On Jackson's birthday we went to the store and got some groceries and a balloon for each of the kids. Then when Daddy came home Jackson opened presents and then Daddy took him golfing (putting) at the Golf Course and then my family all came over and we went to a fun swimming pool/park and swam for a while. Jackson LOVES the water. At the top of the slide though, the 2nd time Brian and Jackson were going down, the life guard told him that Jackson needed to be almost 4 feet tall in order to ride down the slide. So Brian told him they could go and jump off the diving board. We all went to the big pool and they told Brian that Jackson needed to be able to swim by himself half way across the pool in order to jump in. Needless to say he was very disappointed. We talked up all the other areas though and he soon forgot about the slide and diving board. Jackson's favorite part was the "Silly River" (lazy river) because he could touch the ground and run in it while being chased by me. (Sadly I took my camera to the park with no memory card, so we don't have any fun pictures) We had such a fun time though & it was a great place for kids.
After the pool we came back and had pizza & cake & icecream. Cameron & Rachelle brought Jackson some water guns that he absolutly loves! Somehow that ended up in a big water fight with the older kids (Brian & my sister Kaylie). It was great entertainment. :)
