Happy 1st Birthday! (Part II)

We also celebrated Jackson's birthday with our friends on April 21st. It was a smaller crowd, so Jackson wasn't as overwhelmed as the weekend before. He had a great time playing with his friends, opening presents, riding in his new wagon (thanks for the hand me down, Uncle John), and eating/playing with his cupcake (I finally convinced Josh).

Icing is YUMMY!

Mmmmmmm!

Showing off my "masterpiece".

Vroom! Watch out, here I come!

Happy 1st Birthday! (Part I)

Sorry it's taken me so long to post his birthday pictures, but we've been incredibly busy. On April 17th, Jackson turned one! Jackson has truly blessed our lives this past year!I'm so happy to see him growing, changing, learning, and exploring, but it's so bittersweet. He'll always be my baby. The Saturday before his birthday, April 14th, we celebrated with our family. Jackson had a great day, though was a little overwhelmed at times. He wasn't too crazy about his cake that I made, but I think it was just too big. I had suggested just giving him a cupcake, but Josh insisted that he have his very own cake.

Ummm. . . .what do I do with this?

I was very proud of the cakes I made.

Balloons are so much FUN!

Jackson just wanted to shred the tissue paper from one of his presents.
Whatever makes him happy and keeps him entertained.

Wow! What a big present!

I'm a cowboy! Yee-hah!
