Jack Turns Two!

Jackson Cooper turned two on the 25th and we sure celebrated, multiple times. Jackson has so many people that love him that he had three celebrations all with different members of our extended family. As I mentioned before Jack and my dad had a combined birthday party on the 21st. He was able to blow candles out on his cars cupcake and received new clothes, new cars and a new boat to play with in the tub. We were at Cami's house on Thursday on his actual birthday. It was great to celebrate with Cami and Grace. We had a great birthday breakfast where Jack was able to open his presents. He got a train set from mom and dad and Mack from Cami. It was so cute when he opened the car from the Archers he pulled it out of the paper and said "whoa" then for the rest of the day he would not let it out of his sight. I had a doctors appointment in Salt Lake that morning so after that was done we all headed to the zoo. Jack and Grace were super cute. It was great weather and we had a great picnic of all Jack's favorite things. We had mini cupcakes there and Jack would just eat off the frosting and hand me the rest of the cupcake while he proceeded to get another one. Jack got really hot because for some reason his mother dressed him in a long sleeve thermal shirt...so at the end of the zoo trip we took of his shirt and let him run around. He acted like a true boy and love having his shirt off. It was quite the funny sight.
We got home Thursday night and he was able to open present from Grandma and Papa Balls...so many fun books! Jack also got to see his daddy and was so excited to show him all his new presents. Then on Saturday we went out for Pizza with Pat, Seth and Ranell. Jack acted like a true two year old during the dinner but it was fun to be with his grandparents and aunt. I think Jack is all partied out...he was too fussy and had to come home from nursery yesterday. So we are going to keep it pretty low key this week in hopes that Jack will calm down and recover. He has been quite the party animal. Thank you everyone for making Jack's Birthday so special he is one spoiled little guy with all the people that love him!
