Jackson is 2!!

We officially have a two year old and we can't believe time has gone by so fast! Jackson had a great birthday weekend, which we celebrated for 3 days, Pettapiece style. He helped me make monkey cupcakes, which were delicious and turned out great (thanks, Kathy)! He's really into Hotwheels and Matchbox Cars so we bought him a wheel-shaped car holder that holds a ton of cars. We filled up and he loves it. His Auntie T and UK sent him a big Lightening McQueen which is a winner! He hasn't put it down since Friday and we watched the movie "Cars" today and he held it the whole time, all the while saying, "McQuee, McQuee!" On Saturday, Uncle Chipper and Tyler came to celebrate the big birthday and Jackson had his first sleepover. That is to say, he and Tyler slept in the same room together. Tyler did great, he's an old pro at sleepovers, but Jackson was so excited he stayed up way past his bedtime and was up at 5:00am, ready to play! Nana and Gumpa surprised the boy with a Mater tow truck, which we opened on video cam so they could see how excited Jackson was! All in all, it was the best birthday! Rumor has it, there's another birthday weekend to come. His Grandie, Pa Paw and great aunties want to spoil him, too!

My big helper!

The finished product. They tasted as good as they look!
Happy Birthday, Buddy!!
Cool, Hotwheels!


Breakfast time!
Dessert for breakfast? Yeah!

Wow! A big present!

Is this McQueen!?!


YAY!!!!!

Hurry Mom, get it out of the box!

Happy boy.

Even happier with his Uncle Chipper and Tyler!
