Happy 9th Birthday to Jack!

Our sweet boy Jack is 9 years old today, where does the time go?  I remember VIVIDLY the day he was born, I remember when he climbed out of his crib, I remember his first night in his big boy bed, I remember the crazy surfer white blond hair, aww the sweetness of this boy.  He melts my heart.  He also makes us laugh over and over and over.  He has a line for EVERYTHING.  He is always about 2 steps ahead of me in his quick wit.  Even his teachers always say at conferences how Jack is always one step ahead of them, always has a respectful, but funny comment to share.  Thankful for the respectful part.  :)  

Jack is a joy.  Jack has become more of a sport nut this year, shocking I know.  But now he loves to watch the games and follow them.  He certainly knows more about penalties and rules of football and basketball than his Mom does.  He REALLY was intense in flag football this fall and we are seeing the same thing in his basketball season.  He takes no prisoners...and shoots a great shot.  Already wearing a size 7.5 mens shoe and projected to be 6' 5"-6'6" we think he is going to EAT his brothers for lunch, so it's fun to watch his competitive side growing.  He still LOVES legos,  and bey blades, he loves to build and design anything, he loves his brothers.  He loves his baby brother, and is so proud to have him.  Jack may just be an engineer someday and of course he says he wants to be a Dad.  He will be great at whatever he chooses to be.

Jack loves to EAT....anything chocolate, chicken alfredo pizza, anything sweet, anything BBQ, anything ice cream, any kind of apple, or applesauce and of course......can you guess his very favorite STILL?  Since he was 2 years old......A Wendy's Frosty still is at the VERY top of his list of favorites.  

Jack we love you, we love your joyful and free spirit.  We love how you still want to snuggle and kiss us.  We love how you would still sleep in our bed if we would let you.  We love how you love your brothers.  We are so proud of you and so grateful God chose us to be your family.

Happy Birthday Mr. Magoo!!!!
Love,
Momma
