7 years ago today....

Morning present opening Toy Story Mania game for Wii...this was our favorite ride at Disney and now it is a game! So fun!

Buzz Lightyear shooter from the Buzz Lightyear ride at Disney, another family favorite.

Homemade "little rolls" for breakfast and LOTS of them

His class singing happy birthday to Jack before they ate his birthday snack of cookies

7 years ago today we welcomed our little Jack Michael into this world. What a blessing he has been. Those blond curls, and big smiles melt our hearts daily. Jack is a one of a kind, funny boy, entertainer, snuggler and great brother. He doesn't require a lot of sleep, never has, and is ready for adventure at the flip of a dime. He still loves to sneak into our room at night and hopes he will be able to go undetected and make it into our bed, doesn't usually work. Loves to get kisses from Mommy at 3 a.m. then usually heads back to his room from there.

We celebrated his bday today with little rolls made at home (Poppy's recipe), presents before school, Wendy's for lunch at school with the family, homemade chocolate chip cookies for his class this afternoon and a Lego birthday party tonight at home with friends. It has been a BUSY day! This momma is tired, and the birthday boy sound asleep.

Birthday Cookie Cake he designed, LEGO in the middle and than some Star Wars figures he chose from Hyvee for the top

Jack with his beloved Miss Emily and her hubby Ross, they are like family to us.

The birthday party

I do love days like this though...love celebrating the gift of each of our boys. Precious gifts. Last night when I prayed with Jack at bedtime and snuggled he reminded me, "this is the last time you will see me as a 6 year old Mommy, your last time to snuggle me when I am 6"....so very sweet. He climbed in bed with me this morning, Scott was long up, and said "Good morning Mom, want to wish your 7 year old a happy birthday?". Never skips a beat this little son of ours.

So Happy Birthday sweet Jack, know how very much Daddy and I love you. You are a priceless treasure.

xoxo
Momma

    Jack and I seem to have the same love for chocolate chip cookies - i remember your Christmas letter when he was maybe 2 or 3 and he could tell you how the make the cookies :o)

    He is a charmer and he does say the cutest things!
