Party Time

Wednesday, April 02, 2008

We had a little construction/truck themed birthday party for Jackson last night. He had been eyeing his cake all afternoon so I for sure thought that he would dig right into it. But, to my surprise he wasn't interested. He stuck one finger in the frosting, tasted it and then was done. Jordan tried to get him to put his hands in it but ended up using the frosting to paint his face instead (see picture). We had a great time and can't believe that our little guy is one! He is so cute and we just love him to pieces!


We also had a farewell party for our good friends the Lambs who are headed off to California. We will sure miss them but wish them the best of luck!

Happy Birthday! Looks like a fun party. I'm thinking I need to get Ladd one of those walkers. Jackson looks like he is having a blast. I can't believe he can wear shorts already!! We are still in coats.

I keep forgetting "blogs" exist so I'm just now checking the birthday one out. We were just in Texas visiting Jackson for his 1st birthday (a few days late) and his birthday cake is still on the counter, uneaten but oh, so cute. As is Jackson, he is a power tower of energy! He keeps Mommy and Daddy going every minute except when he takes a nap and then that is only for an hour! I'm exhausted for them.....Jackson is just too cute!!!! Love Nana and Papa
