Jackson's Birthday

For Jackson's birthday we had a couple of parties.  His birthday was on a Sunday so the day before we had a swimming party with Jordan's family then on his actual birthday we just went to my parent's house and had dinner and cake.
Hales Party

He had so much fun with his cousins

Jacks is so sweet and he shared his toys with Link,

The boys had so much fun I didn't really get that many pictures because they were to busy playing to take pictures.  They love their cousins they had so much fun swimming and just playing.

Jackson's birthday was Father's Day so we celebrated both. We went to church and Jacks got up in sacrament meeting and sang with the primary.  I was so proud of him on Mothers day he was to scared to go up there.  He walked up all by himself and wasn't even scared.
After church we went to Jordan's parents and Jacks got to play with some of his cousins for a while.  His cousin had some cute Halloween costumes and Jacks loved them!  They ran around and played together for a while.  Then we went to my parents house.

At my parent's we ate dinner Jacks favorite pizza, mac and cheese, and hot dogs.  He opened presents and ate cake.  He had a really fun birthday.  I can't believe he's 4!  He's such a sweet little guy and we had so much fun celebrating his birthday.  

Jacks 4 Years Old

My cute little Jacks is 4! I can't believe how fast the past 4 years have gone. He is the sweetest most amazing little boy.  He is so loving and always looking out for his little brother. He's shy but he loves attention.  He has grown and matured a ton in the last year!  He is so much fun right now.  He is getting really good at listening and following instructions.  He loves to play with Link and other kids especially his cousins.  

Jacks is a little bit shy now.  If he knows someone he always wants their attention but around people he doesn't know he get a little bit shy.  He gets nervous in new situations. He likes to have me or Jordan around anytime he has to go into a new situation.  He loves other kids but around adults he get a little shy. In public he doesn't like to be where he can't see me.  It's really nice because he doesn't ever run away from me so I don't worry about losing him.   

Jacks has matured so much lately.  He is better to wait his turn for things and be patient.  He really sweet and always shares with Link.  At his birthday party he got a lot of nice presents and he just shared with Link without even being asked.  He got a pack of Avengers and he just handed Link Captain America and basically let him have it because he knows Captain America is Lincoln's favorite.  He's just always really sweet to everyone and especially his brother. He is the least selfish kids I've ever met.  

Jacks is such a loving kid he is always telling people he loves them.  He can always tell when I'm stressed or mad and he'll just for no reason say "Mom I love you."  He tells Link, his cousins and friends he loves them all the time.  He just always sees the best in people and always forgives them for everything.  It doesn't matter if Link hits him, steals his toys, or says something mean Jack just brushes it off and keeps playing with him.  He is so sweet he just really loves people. 

Jacks is so silly.  He loves to have fun and always has the funniest things to say. He keeps me laughing all day.  He is at a really fun age he gets really excited about things now.  He's finally old enough to understand holidays and gets really excited.  

Things that Jacks likes:

-Swimming:  He could swim all day everyday if I'd let him he just loves the water.  He's not afraid to put his face under the water at all.  He just loves to be in any kind of pool, splash pad, or basically anything with water.
