Happy Birthday Jack!!!

What a wonderful day! Jack still wasn't 100% but he took a 4 hour nap this afternoon and was feeling much better after the good rest. We waited until after the nap to do the birthday celebrations. We also celebrated Jack's cousins' birthdays, too, since we were all together. I think I got some cute video of him with his presents but that will have to wait until I get home. He was so excited with every present and kept saying, "Happy Birthday!" I don't think he quite got what was going on, but it was fun to eat cake and open presents. Here's some pictures from our fun day.


Jack's tractor cake, what else? (Aunt Kelly is making a tractor cake, too so he'll be really excited)

Jordan is showing off the girls cake and Jack's cake.


Laura, Jack, Emily, Jordan & Jaimee.


Look closely, he's telling you he's 2.


Trying to blow out the candles.


The girls had no problem!

Jack's helping Laura cut the cakes.


What boy doesn't love green icing?


Mmmmm, cake. He took one bite and was done with cake.


Opening presents.


He got a new tractor and was really excited for grandma to open it.

Grandpa's helping him figure it all out.


Gotta try on the Mr. Potato Head glasses.


Even Jack tried them on.


He loves his new broom!


Jack & all his loot.

Uncle JJ helped out with bathtime since he's not too fond of the big bathtub after I turned on the jets. Actually, Aunt Kelly (he has 2), Jordan, Jaimee and JJ helped with the bath but that picture wasn't blog appropriate due to little boy parts being visible. We all sat around the tub with our feet in the water. It was pretty relaxing.


So tired after a long day of napping and playing with toys.


He got a really cool Mater car and Jordan and Jason showed him how it works. You shake it really fast and then Mater says, "Well dad gum" and the speeds off.


Sitting with JJ waiting for Mater.


Just hanging out outside with all his new tractors!

We had a great day! The girls got money and Jack got goodies. I think we're going to try to find some shopping places tomorrow so the girls can have their day, too. We're looking forward to a few more days here and then it's back to Knoxville where we'll celebrate again! Hooray!

What fun! I'm glad Jack got to feeling better so he was able to enjoy it all. The pictures are great. Tell Greg and Barbara we think they have an awesome place. Enjoy the rest of the trip. We'll see you all soon. Love you.

What a wonderful time for a 2nd birthday. Just 27 years ago this month, we were in California for Brad's 2nd birthday!! So keep traveling and Jack will be a grown up "jet-setter" --just like cousin Brad. Happy Birthday!!
Jack. We love you, Lynne

Very cute cake! I bet he loved it! Now just past the 'brick fasade', on the other side of the road there is a john deere tractor, so I can't help thinking about Jack everytime we go out! Tell him happy birthday for us and we will try to ship him a present sometime prior to his 3rd b-day( i beat you to saying it!) I know it's against the "rules" to send presents but we're going to break them this year-- deal with it! Love you! :)
