Birthday Party # 1

Jack had a fun filled birthday yesterday. He woke up and entered the living room to discover a Happy Birthday banner and tons of balloons. After Alex woke up Jack opened his presents from Dad and Mom and Alex. He got a Soccer ball and goal net. From Alex he got a V-Tech letter pad.

After opening the gifts and playing with them for a bit Jack had his favorite breakfast, pancakes and syrup. After breakfast we played some more and got tons of phone calls from family and friends. Then we made birthday cookies for the firefighters at Uncle Chad's station. Mr Man then got his favorite lunch from "Old McDonalds", chicken nuggets, apple dippers and a few french fries. Then it was off to take a nap.

After his nap we were off to the Doctors office for his 3 year check up which went fabulously, Jack is 34lbs and 38" tall. After his appointment we headed home to drop off Steve and Alex and we were off to feed the firefighters.

Jack was very excited about sharing his birthday cookies with the guys at the fire station and made sure to tell Uncle Chad to share them with the other firefighters. He had a blast walking around the fire station checking out the Engine truck, Ladder Truck and the Fire Boat. Unfortunately the Ambulance was out on a call and didn't return before we left.

When we got home Aunt Jen, Nick , Mya and G&G V were there. We ordered pizza and had birthday cake. Then if was time to open presents from everyone. He got a bug lantern, bug utility tools and a book from Aunt Jen and kids. G&G V got Jack a big boy bike. Everyone left after the kids where done playing and Jack and Alex were off to take a putz (bath) and the boys went down for the night.

Birthday party #2 this happening this Saturday with my family. Everyone is going to make it so all the kids are excited about seeing each other. It has been a while since all 7 of them where together so there will be more Birthday stories to come!

The best saying Jack had yesterday was "I grew up today.... I am three!"
