We sure love having Jack in our family and we had a fun time celebrating his birthday! He was excited to wake up a find a new bike, new helmet, a football, the "Wipeout" game for the Wii and a Nerf dart set. He's a kid that is happy to open one gift and play with it for an hour before thinking of his next one.
He went to school on his birthday and then I brought him a Happy Meal at lunch time. He was so cute and asked if I would sit with him (I know that won't last forever). He picked stuffed shells for his birthday dinner and cookies for dessert. He's an easy man to please!
A couple of days later, we had his friend's party. He has a really nice group of friends and we had them all gather at our house and then we took them to Nickelmania. Becky was so sweet to leave work early that day to help us transport all those kids. We paid $1 for each of them to get in and then gave them each $3 in nickels and then they got to pick their own treats with their tickets. After they played games, we took them back to our house for pizza and rootbeer. (Notes to self....if you give 6 & 7 year old boys root beer, they will start to burp and not be able to stop. Next time: juice boxes!).
He was excited about his new gifts and then the party was done. Easy, easy!
Jack's truly a boy and loves anything about sports. He loves to go outside and kick or throw footballs and soccer balls, loves to shoot hoops, loves to watch BYU football with his dad and loves to play the Wii. He's a super sweet guy and we love him so much! Happy Birthday Buddy!

All the cute boys around the table. I'm sure Jack's laughing because the burping had begun!

Cute little guy. He was such a tiny little man and he's getting so big and grown up. What a cutie!I really can't believe he's 7 though-WHAT??
I gasped at the title, too. 7! I loooove that part about the happy meal at school and him asking you to sit with him. I love you guys!
7! No way. He is a great little guy. Dane had a blast. Fun to see him there having so much fun. I bet you are all birthdayed out by now.
I still can't believe he is 7. That just doesn't seem possible. And what seems even more impossible is that he'll be baptized next year....wow.
