The Summer Cut

Before

After

Psalm 19

This is not for everyone because it's over three minutes. But if you have the time, check out Jackson's class reciting Psalm 19. They did this last month and he's got another one this week on Friday. I'm a proud mama...

Fun with Family

Star Wars Family

This picture was sent to us by Mat's Uncle Randy who is handy with the Photoshop.

Oh yes, we did...

...all dress up in Star Wars costumes for Jackson's 6th birthday party.



It was a huge, fun party. We were so busy we didn't really get any good pictures, but if I were a journalist writing an article about the event it would have to include these facts:

Who - approximately 9 million kids
What - Bounce house, Star Wars, Legos, and cake
When - After school on a recent Friday
Where - Our house in the front yard, backyard, upstairs, and downstairs
Why - I'm not sure, but it won't happen again

The highlights were at least one lost tooth, random dog poop tracked through the house, Princess Leia signing autographs, adult-jump after dark, and over $300 raised for medical supplies in Haiti.





The same thing happened this year that happened the past two years with Thomas the Train and then Pirates. As soon as we have a big themed birthday party and tons of coordinating presents, Jackson loses interest in that particular thing. After being obsessed with Star Wars for a year, he moved onto Indiana Jones a few seconds after the party was over.

Happy Easter
