Jack turns 3 years old!

February 27th, my little Jackson turned 3 years old! I seriously cannot believe that 3 years have gone by already. We had some fun celebrations with the little guy... here is where it all began ...

Friends Birthday Party.
We decided to do a Sports themed party. For those of you that do not know, he is obsessed with any and every sport out there... and he is extra competitive... sounds just like his dad right??? Yep.

So we had some athletic games for all the kids to participate in:

• Basketball shoot-out
• Racing Lanes
• Long Jump
• Soccer ball kicking

I think the racing lanes were the favorite, the kids kept wanting to go back to it.
At one point, Davis (Jacks cousin) and Jackson (my Jacks friend) had a pretty hard core stare down at another... mean faces, scrunching of noses, and I think even a few growls... it was hilarious. Boys will be boys. Jacks friends... Sophia, Davis, and Tyson.

After we played all the fun games, each of the kids earned a Medal... everyone is always a winner!THEN.... we had the most shocking surprise... Spider Man (Jacks most favorite Super Hero in the entire world) showed up at the party!!!!!Jack was in awe! Some of the kids were a little scared of our Super Hero friend... but the Birthday boy loved it (and that's all that really matters).
Go Spidey!
The kids enjoyed pizza, chips, and of course we can't forget the veggies. Not all of the kids indulged in the carrots and celery - but a few did. Way to go healthy kiddo's.Can I say... PRESENTS??? It was almost better than Christmas! He got endless amounts of awesome gifts. It was funny watching him open the presents with all of the other little kids around, they were all trying to give them their gifts they had brought him, a few of them even opened up their gifts on their own because they were so excited. Gift opening was a little crazy. My sister told me that with her little boys party she waited to open the gifts until after the kids had gone home. After our experience, I might have to take her advice and do that next year.
And don't forget the cake. I had a great idea from my friend Alicia to do a Baseball and bat. She did it for her little boy and I fell in love... so here it is. It was pretty easy to make, and it's always fun to get creative.

We ended with a pinata. The kids went home with A TON of candy. I apologize to the parents for all that sugar... (sorry).

We had a ton of fun. It was definitely insane with 10 kids. After the party my mom told me that usually you invite the amount of kids for how old the child is. That would be 3 for Jack. Ha. I guess I missed that in the Birthday How To Do's?!?

Happy Birthday little Guy! Here are my favorite things about you right now!

1. You are the definition of ACTIVE!

2. You love to help your mommy around the house.

3. You are so sweet to your sister and love to give her kisses and wipe her spit-up from around her mouth.

4. You are so smart and love to learn. You and daddy do chemistry together and every time you are shocked at what you see.

5. Whenever you play basketball you give us hugs and kisses depending on if you make it or miss it.

6. You make me call you Batman, Superman, or Spider man depending on what you are wearing.

7. You are insanely organized. Especially with your room, it has to be just so... and your bedtime routine has to be the same every night or you refuse to go to sleep. (maybe you do have some genes from your mom?)

8. You get mad when mom moves Clara's car seat to the other side of the car. You love her right next to you so that you can make faces at her and watch see her smile and laugh back at you.

9. You love to sing. Your favorite song is 'I'm Yours by Jason Mraz'.

10. Every time we pull in the garage you can't wait to get out and run upstairs to scare daddy at his desk. Sometimes you even run right past him and don't even notice him because your excitement is running so high!

I love you Jack... your my favorite little guy!
