Jack's Birthday

Jack blowing out his Bakugan Birthday cake.
(He designed the cake himself, with the help of Tom Thumb Bakery of course..ha!)

Our little man turned 11 years old on March 8th. He celebrated his big day with a sleepover the Friday night before with his two best friends Kyle and Reid. The boys ate pizza and hung out in Jack's room (aka the "man cave") playing video games and bakugan and watching movies. It is truly amazing how much noise is produced by three excited tween boys! Ha! On his actual birthday, we celebrated with our friends,the Roses and the Recks, who are like family to us. Unfortunately, in all the excitement, I forgot to take pics that night. Mom dropped the ball on that one...Bummer! I guess I was still in shock that my sweet boy is 11 years old and heading off to middle school next year. Jack is such a joy, and we are so blessed by him every day. I pray this next year is filled with wonder as he discovers new interests, people, and passions. He is very excited about middle school and is looking forward to getting involved with drama as his elective. He is growing into quite an extraordinary young man.


(Jack with his buddies, Kyle and Reid...the three sweetest boys EVER in the history of boys!)

Eleven years ago, this precious little boy entered our lives on a cold spring night, three weeks early. Unaware when we chose it, Jack's name means "God's gift" and for Marty and me, every day with Jack is a gift! (guess God was showing off with that one!) Happy Birthday Jackman! We love you to the moon and back!
