5 years ago - Happy Birthday my sweet Jax

These pictures are from Jax actual birthday. We started the day with pancakes with sprinkles (found out he really is not a fan of sprinkles in his pancakes) and he got to open one of his gifts. We had a party at school with another boy that has the same birthday. Then we came home and had pizza (birthday boys request), cupcakes and ice cream. He got a scooter, a backpack fireman's hose and a iron man costume. It is so hard to believe my baby is 5. In the last month I have seen him grow up so much. He loves to play Lego's and does a great job with them. He still likes to dress up and act out fireman and superhero stuff - and loves to give his brother and the neighbor kids orders. He loves all kinds of books. He wants to know everything and as nerve racking as that can get - I really love this. I know so many kids that don't ask those questions and I love that he wants to know. He is a really good big brother (he told me yesterday that Riley was his best friend -I thought I might cry). He is so excited about Kindergarten (even though he told me today he was just going to go to 1st grade first). He is the tallest in his class. He still loves to play outside in the mud. Did I mention that he loves his superhero's. He started Awanas and loves it. He always wants to do his homework or whatever the teacher tells him to do for school - I hope he keeps that up until he is at least through college. He is a great eater. He is doing really well at soccer but he really wants to play football. I am so blessed by his smiling face and all the joy that he brings to me and his dad.
