Celebrating 4

My baby boy turned 4 on August 4.  Wow - time flies!  We had a wonderful family celebration that was Toy Story themed.  Buzz and Woody were everywhere.  We had a delicious meal followed by yummy cake.  Jax loved opening all of his presents and breaking open the pinata.  It's always fun for everyone to be together to celebrate such happy occasions.  Jax loves being the center of attention and had a fantastic birthday.

Let's Bounce Birthday Boy

Jax celebrated his 4th birthday a few days early with friends at the popular bounce place -Pump It Up.  A few friends from preschool and church joined the fun that included lots of bounce time and yummy cupcakes and ice cream.  Jax loved sitting in the "birthday" chair while opening all of his fun gifts.  Everyone enjoyed the day and Jax loved having his friends celebrate with him.

One hot July day Jax and I ventured out to Hatcher Dairy Farm with friends from church.  We saw lots of cows and learned about how milk is processed.  After the tour we had a picnic lunch and then went shopping for some yummy chocolate milk.

Neighborhood Celebration

Jax joined the neighborhood kids in celebrating the Fourth of July with an exciting bike parade.  The Franklin Fire Dept. led the kids with the red fire engine a short distance around the clubhouse.  Jax loved decorating his bike and riding behind the firetruck. 

Firecracker 5k

John and my brother Jay ran the Cadillac Firecracker 5k in Brentwood.  I walked with Jax in the stroller.  Jax loved running the last 50 yards across the finish line.  People were cheering him on as he crossed and his little face just lit up.  It was a fun morning with a little exercise to go along with it.

Swim Lessons

Jax took swim lessons at the Y this summer.  He loved going under water and splashing around.  It was a fun week.

Father's Day

Celebrating Mema's Birthday

Celebrating birthdays are always so much fun for our family.  We enjoyed a yummy cake for Mema's birthday.  Jax loved helping her open her presents.  It's always great to get together.

Let's Play Ball

Jax played T-ball this summer with the Franklin YMCA.  He played for the Colorado Rockies.  He has a great swing and enjoyed playing on a team.  Practice was once a week and his games were on Saturday.  Needless to say we enjoyed the early morning games more than the mid-day games.  We had some very hot Saturdays in June and July.  It was a fun time for Jax to learn a new sport. 

For Daddy

Jax and I gave John a very special Father's Day present.  Daddy was very happy with his gift of his sweet boy with mommy.
