Jackson is 7 years old!

Jackson turned 7 on Memorial Day!  We celebrated the day before (thank goodness since Monday was quite rainy!) with a picnic and a little party.  Granny came to celebrate with us and actually ended up staying an extra day due to the weather.


 Here are some pictures of our picnic!  Zoe spent much of the time playing in the dirt under a tree.  I found out that Lee can not stand to see her dirty!  He is pretty obsessive about it.  It made Granny and me laugh!

Jackson enjoying chilling in the great outdoors.  Granny made him his own padded waterproof mat to lie on .

I showed Zoe how to put maple seeds on her nose.  She thought that was great fun!  Did you ever do that as a kid?  Lee hadn't, so it was new to him as well.

Jackson was not quite as impressed with it though!

Here, try it!  It's really fun!



 And pics of our little party...

The cake.  Jackson did have a little taste of the frosting and some ice cream.

A motion activated monkey that rolls round laughing hysterically.   Jackson found it pretty funny but I think Lee liked it even more than Jackson did!

 A big scary dinosaur!  Jackson really liked that one and tried to hug it!

He got a ton of books!


 Here is Zoe checking out one of his new books.  (I made her skirt, I am so proud of myself!)

And they are holding hands while checking out another book together...how sweet is that!
