jack is normally permanently grounded from playing the wii because that is all he talks about and wants to do. we thought that jack was taking his nap but he couldn't sleep because there was too much excitement in the air and he got out of bed and came down while john and others were playing rock band. so it was too late he already saw it so he joined in on the fun.
everyone that came up for the party at the water park.
the florez fam
loving dad and mom
here are all the arizona cousins together. this is the best picture we could get because of course kids being kids they didn't want to take a picture they wanted to play, except of course haylie she was great for her photo.
i'm probably a mean mom but even though it was jack's birthday i wasn't about to let him get away with not listening and misbehaving so i had to give him a time out, he was not pleased with that.
after his time out he was allowed to go and swim some more and he hopped right into the kiddie pool and became "one of those kids" who sits on the bubble blowers. i don't know why but it always gives me the creeps when kids do this. oh well what can i do, he isn't hurting anyone and he seems to be enjoying himself.
after swimming for a while we returned to our house to have the bbq, open presents and have the birthday dessert.
here we have lilly, max, katie and tyler. dang cute kids
jack taking in the mound of presents
this year for his birthday we got jack a play kitchen because he is obsessed with his cousin's. so john set up the kitchen the night before so when jack woke up he saw it and immediately started looking for the eggs like the ones tyler has. little did he know that i actually got him eggs but i was saving them for when he actually opened presents. so when it was time to open the eggs and he realized what they were he was so excited and had to immediately open them up and count them. as you can see by the big old smile he has on his face he loved the eggs. what a strange little man i have.
again i have a strange little man because the kid still doesn't like cake and still gags on it so we did ice cream cones again. all the kids were asking me what kind of cake we were going to have so i was really nervous that they were going riot when i produced the ice cream cones but luckily they all seemed happy with what they got.
i think jack really knew that at this point that this was his special day. he loved when we sang to him.
i just want to thank everyone who was able to come and share this special day with us. we love our jack and are so happy Heavenly Father sent him to us.

Oh, all these pics are so precious! Happy Birthday, Jack! How cute that he loves the eggs so much!!
He is getting so big and he is adorable. The ice cream cones is a great idea. hope all is well.
Hey, looks like a smashing party, wish we could have been there! About Annette's favorite book, I don't remember being there for that conversation. I feel like I haven't seen her since I knew who Shannyn Hale was. 's been awhile.
Good luck sleuthing it out,
Luv ya,

That looks like such a fun party! I am so glad that you guys have so much family around to do things like that with. I love the ice cream cones- such a good idea. I'm not a huge cake fan either. Ice cream all the way for me! I used to get ice cream cake from baskin robbins when I was younger. Mmmmm.
Oh, and McKay got play food for his birthday too. I'm glad that Jack is into that stuff as well. No room for a kitchen here though.
Shan,
The party looks like a success. We just had Ev's party and I was thinking how fun it was that you guys could come last year. We missed you this time!
