Jack is a 'whole hand old' now!

Our little Jack right after he was born!

KJ couldn't wait to be a big brother!

Our little firecracker Jack turned 5 years old today!!! There is no other 5 year old boy in the whole world that could fill my heart as much as this little guy does. He is the cheese to my macaroni! We are so thankful that he is part of our family...he keeps us all laughing and keeps us all on our toes! Anyone who knows Jack, knows what a fun and special little guy he is. The thing I hear the most from family and friends who live far away is how much they miss little Jack Jack. He really has a great spirit about him and people just seem to be drawn to him and his energetic, bubbly personality. He has come a long way in his short 5 years and has had to overcome some tough stuff, but he is the strongest little boy I know. I hope he knows how much his dad, sister, brother and I love him.

Happy 5th Birthday Jack!

For his breakfast in bed he was very specific on what he wanted! Sausage links, egg with runny yolk, blueberries and strawberries! We had to get up bright and early for breakfast in bed since we had to make it to school on time!

Here we are leaving for school showing me that he is a 'whole hand old' now!

We got to surprise him at school and bring balloons and treats to class! He was so excited! Isn't he just the cutest??!?

For his birthday dinner he chose Red Robin...his favorite! I don't know if he really likes the food, he just likes that he gets a balloon when we leave. And tonight he was glad that the waiters sang to him and gave him an ice-cream sundae with a cherry on top! He LOVES cherries!

It's present time!

He's been wanting this bumble bee pillow pet for months now!

Here's the traditional picture with all his loot! I think he made out pretty good!

Make a wish!!

A great ending to a great day! This weekend we will have his little party. And the best present of all is that his Aunt and Uncle will be moving in to our house for a month or two!!! We are all so excited! They should be here in about an hour....YAY!!!

Sleep Tight my little birthday boy!
