November Update

Jackson’s 2nd Birthday Party
Jackson kind of got the shaft this year in the party arena.  His party was scheduled for Sunday.  But since Gracen had the stomach virus on Friday, we moved the party to Monday, so my parents, Kristy and Brylie could be there.  Poor Jackson woke up from his nap (party time) with 103 fever.  He felt terrible, but we went on with the party before my family went home.
Poor, pitiful Baby! Sad smile

Jackson’s favorite things in the whole world (other than his Daddy) are horses and tractors.  He was really excited about his hehe (horsie) balloon!DSC_0574

So glad my dad looked at the cake before he brought it home because they gave him the wrong one!   Otherwise, a 1 year old, her mama, and me would’ve been very upset!  DSC_0596
