Happy 6th Birthday Jaxon!!!




Poor thing woke to a temperature of 103.4 and couldn't even go to school to enjoy birthday cupcakes with his class! We sent the cupcakes to school with Jin so that his class could have them and I wasn't spending my day keeping Jade and Jaxon from eating 30 cupcakes!!

Jaxon opening up his gift from MeMaw and PaPaw!! Green is Good!!!

Jade's excited that Jaxon is sick and staying home

The birthday traditional "happy meal" dinner...but for lunch since he stayed home

Transformer he bought with his birthday green

The cake was yummy thanks to Marcy taking me to Sam's to get it :)

More birthday green makes for a happy 6 year old

Wall-E was obviously a huge hit

Grandma Heidi sitting back enjoying the fun

Finally...he can wear the mask

There was this kid at the park who joined in all the fun games and came back to the house for cake...then zoomed home and brought back a birthday gift...lol

Jin and Ryan with the other big kids playing football in the back yard

Hurry up and cut that cake everyone was screaming

Bree on the slide and Monet over there with Trey

Mike and Jacque laughing at the chaos

















Bree and Jade swinging

Jade didn't play any games but sneaked a prize when we weren't looking

Red Rover was a 'close-line' hit














Matt got quite excited . . lol

Jaxon scored a point for his team!

Monet chillin'

Mike playing with the kids

Jade..Jax..Ryan..Jin..Bree..Monet - Lots of family fun











Getting ready to play 'Dragon Tails' which was hilarious

The best finish to Turkey Day ever - - The men are CLEANING!!!

Josh and Marcy

Jade playing piano with Mike a few minutes before falling off the piano bench while reaching her carrot into the ranch (see the veggie tray up there?). She hit so hard on the back of her head that it knocked her loopy!!

We took her home to take care of her 'head-ache' only to end up at the er b/c she was getting sick and actually got a mild concussion from the fall! CT was clean and we'll get another one this week just to be safe.

The Day After Turkey . . . and the big fall

Jade's finally on her feet playing...back to normal and showing no signs of injury! What a blessing I tell you...I was a ball of insane nerves pacing the floor!

Jaxon gets on Jin...Jade gets on Jaxon...daddy drags them around

Matt's trying to watch football and Jin's practicing "911" with the calculator for safety reasons...lol...Jin's trying to get someone to play!
