Happy Birthday, Jackson!

Here's the cake that I made...yes, I made this cake. Click here to reveal all my cake decorating secrets.

Morgan on Daddy's arm pre-party.

The beginning of a tradition.  Dylan is marking Jackson's height on the door frame.  He was 34" tall.  At birth he was 21".  Last year he was 30.6".  My how they grow.  Evidently there's an old wives tale that says double their height at 2 and that's how tall they'll be when they are an adult.  Jack would be around 5'8".  Not too bad for a Hooper.

We finally hung up the book rack Dylan made two years ago.

Jack and Eli sporting the cowboy vests Grandma Friedrich made.  Thanks Grandma!

Eli and his new hobby horse.  I We (Dylan said, "I?"  He definitely was a help in their creation.) made horses for all the party goers under 25.

Riding horses!

What's that outside that just pulled up?  Look closely in the window before you scroll down...

No way!  Jackson had a pony at his birthday party.  How are we ever going to top this?

Present time...Jackson got his first fishing rod.  Looks like he needs a little guidance.

Thomas the Train whistle that when you blow it it makes the train go.

I love that smile!  He was so excited when everyone was singing to him.
