Jordan's Birthday Celebrations

We had so much fun celebrating Jordan!
We had his family party with my parents and the Crabtrees.  My camera has been having charging problems so I didn't get many pictures of the party.

Jordan building one of his new toys.

Instead of a birthday party, Jordan wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese with his cousins while they stayed at our house the weekend before his birthday.







Coleman wanted to play this game the entire time we were there, but there was someone always playing it (one kid was playing it for a long time.) He was so excited when he was finally able to play it.



The nine year old with his presents!

He was so excited to get a table that he can do puzzles on!

Drew Brees stuffed animal. Drew Brees is his favorite football player.

He had to give Kenzie a tackle hug. She gave him the Drew Brees stuffed animal.

Coleman gave him a Drew Brees lego.

He's been asking for new headphones for quite awhile.

Excited for a new puzzle!

This Harry Potter puzzle has proved to be very difficult for us...

Mine Craft Legos!



Jordan wanted to go to Bounce It Up 360.

Doug took the day off and partied with us all day.






Jordan was so excited that one present hadn't arrived yet.

It was a wiggle chair!

Legos and wiggling, two of his favorite things.

He wanted ice cream sandwiches for his dessert. He also wanted to have the 7 candle with 2 other candles.


We ended the night with watching part 2 of the 7th Harry Potter. It was his favorite of all the Harry Potter movies.

We love this boy!

Here's some things about Jordan:
Loves math
Likes to think about things literally
Love puns
Loves caramel and chocolate
Loves playing the computer
Enjoys reading Minecraft books and nonfiction books
Loves trying to figure out things other people have a hard time figuring out
Occasionally forgets to eat breakfast (in fact he forgot to eat it on his birthday)
Loves playing with Pokemon cards
Loves making things... legos, bracelets, origami, anything
Likes sleeping in his clothes
Mostly wears flip flops even in the rain and cold. He usually only wears shoes when I make him
Loves pop (the drink, not the music:))
Baseball is his favorite sport to play
Usually willing to help when I ask him to do something
He's a good, cute, sweet boy!
We love him and we are so happy he's in our family!

Tacoma Stars

Jackson and I went to see the Tacoma Stars, and indoor soccer team, play. It was really fun to watch. The game was fast paced and high scoring. They also played music a lot which made it even more fun. Jackson loved seeing how good the players are. He noticed that the goalies were doing the things he learned in a goalie book he read.

I love hanging out with this kid!

Basketball Ends

Jackson finished basketball at the beginning of March. The last game was pretty intense. They played the same team they played the first game, which was the only team they had lost to. It was a really close game, but they ended up losing. I think the score might have been actually the same as the first game. It was fun to watch these boys play all season!



Jackson really liked his coach. He loved how fun and encouraging he was.

Scouts and Hail

Jackson made oatmeal cookies and Jordan made cake batter fudge for the Blue and Gold Banquet. They both won the award for having it scout themed, even though neither of them were scout themed:)

It hailed to much, it looked like it had snowed.

I tried to catch some of it in a bowl but most of it bounced out.

Miss Mackenzie

I love all these pictures of this cute girl!
