PARTY TIME!

We had Jackson's party this year at Pump It Up. It is a party place with 10 different "bounce houses." Some are slides, obstacle courses, basketball courts, etc....it was a blast! The parents even got into it and got a workout.
The weather almost cancelled the party, but everyone made it out...I think the parents would do anything to get their kids out of the house to burn some energy because they knew that the rest of the weekend they would be couped up inside.
It;s so amazing that Jackson is 5 years old. In some ways, he seems like such a wise soul because he's a quiet thinker. Unlike his mom who just says whatever runs thru her head, he takes time to think and then very deliberately poses a question or a thought. He amazes us.
On the other hand, he loves to make weird (and lovingly annoying) noises and tries to tell jokes that don't make any sense, but he thinks they are hilarious! We're trying to work on the knock-knock joke right now. He's almost got those down.
Drew wants to be just like him. He followed him around at the party asking everyone if they knew his brother. We feel so blessed to be the parents of these little boys. They have challenged us as people, built us up as parents, and brought us to our knees because of the huge responsibility that God has given us. Every day, we will take the challenge and feel blessed to do so!
Happy Birthday Jackson!

These pics make me so sad I couldn't be there!! Looks like a great time and Drew's question cracks me up. I sure hope the people there knew who Jackson was...but that Drew just likes to keep things in check. Can't wait to see you again.
