So Jackson’s Happy Birthday was more of a birthday week… it started on Tuesday… mama and papa great made his day by calling to sing Happy Birthday a day early! That was one of the best gifts ever – he’s been begging for us to sing to him since Lacey’s birthday! What a smile! The next morning we had decorated a little bit, and gotten his presents ready for him. He was woken up with a Happy Birthday phone call and when he came out of the room Micah showed him his bike and his eyes lit up! He got on and started riding around right away!

Not only was there a cool bike, there was a cake, exactly like he asked for! I was going to make a really fun cake, but when I asked him if he wanted a train or cars cake, he said ” No — a circle brown cake.” Well, I couldn’t hold Jackson off for very long, so about 10:45 we decided he

needed a little taste. A little bit later, Mamama showed up at our house and brought some great presents for him to open!

That night we sang happy birthday and served him some more cake and ice cream. He had another great Happy Birthday call from Grandma and Grandpa and then had a couple small presents to open and overall it was an exciting day!

On Friday I had planned to go to Freestone Park, where they have a little train and a few other rides. We invited his best friend Max and three of his favorites, Lori, Mari, and Becca to come with us! Oh man – it was a blast! We fed the ducks, rode the carousel, rode the train and played hard!

Today we decided to go to the Wildlife World Zoo! It was another great time – but no pictures, we forgot the memory card wasn’t in our camera! We took another little train ride, fed the giraffes, and saw tigers, crocodiles, etc, etc, etc! It was a neat zoo trip and we were glad to have Micah there with us! What a big week! Don’t you think we should all have a birthday week?
