Jackson's 8th Birthday

Jackson turned 8! He was so excited for his birthday! He couldn't wait to open his presents.

He opened his cards first.

$5 from Aunt Lori and Uncle Larry

A card from Grandma and Grandpa Dance

An animal painting art set. He loves art!

Operation Jr from Kenzie.

This was what he wanted most. Angry Bird Go telepods. It's lets him have different cars on the Angry Birds Go game on my Kindle. 

He had to try out his new cars.

And he did some painting.

Then we went to the "new" Chuck E Cheese (which is really the old one I went to when I was little.) We went there the week before Jackson's birthday with some friends and he loved it so much he wanted to go back.

Kenzie and Jordan love the giant rocking horse.

We ate pizza.

Jackson, Coleman, Kenzie.

Coleman loves the basketball game. He actually makes it in the basket some of the time.

I remember loving this ride when I was little. 

Jordan used almost all his tokens playing this game. He got a lot of tickets from it though.

Jackson likes the video games more than the ones that you can earn tickets playing.

After years and years and years of saving our tickets (I think we've only used them twice in all the times we've gone) we finally let them spend them. They each had over a thousand to spend.

We also went to Khol's so Jackson could spend his gift card money from Grandma Dance as well as the $5 from Aunt Lori. He chose a skateboard. 

He loves riding it. 

Practicing in the grass. 

Doug helping Jackson know what to do.

While we were outside the postman delivered a package for Jackson (we had ordered some of his presents on Amazon and they didn't come until that day.) He didn't want to wait for me to wrap them. He thought it would be just the same to open them from the box. 

He was super excited about a story creator we go him.

Kenzie popped the air packets that were in the box.

Jackson trying out his Spirograph.

So excited for his cupcake.

We got another package as we were about to leave for baseball. He got a watch.

and a How to Beat your Dad at Chess book.

I took Coleman and Kenzie to Jordan's practice, while Doug took Jack to his make up game.

Colie loves for me to help him cross the monkey bars. 

I'm not really sure what they're doing... But they do love playing at the park during Jordan's practice.

Then we headed to Jackson's game.

Grandma and Grandpa came to Jackson's game and then we all went to get some Frozen Yogurt.
