Last year Jack had to miss his Valentine's party because he was sick, but I was still there as a room parent. The kids were really concerned, asking me all kinds of questions about him. When it was time for the snack, one little boy raised his Capri Sun and said "To Jack!". And up went 18 juice pouches raised in his honor.
And so today, on Jack's historically cool birthday of 10.10.10, please raise your own juice box (or beverage of choice) with me in a toast to my Jack.
To Jack, who is charming and winsome with his very own kind of magic...

To Jack, who has an extraordinary ability to stay focused...

To Jack, who sees a shirt as an inconvenience...


To Jack, who rarely says "I'm bored", because he brings his own fun everywhere he goes...


To Jack, who is well deserving of his nickname "Action Jackson"...


To Jack, who is charming even when being ornery...

To
Samson Jack, who is gonna kill me someday for not cutting his hair before this picture...
To Jack, who is a really amazing big brother...

almost all of the time...
To Jack, who fills our lives with laughter and noise. Your personality is big, but your heart is even bigger. We named you Jack because it means "God is gracious". And He has been so gracious to bless us with you. You were my best ever surprise. Happy 8th Birthday. I love all that you are.

Jack- I love that I was pregnant with your mom and you and Hayden are two days apart!
Missy-can't wait to hear how the party went.
Happy Birthday Jack! What a cool date to celebrate! I have a fondness for Jack and I don't even know him...he just reminds me so much of one of the loves of my life- my little Bryce. It sounds like Jack is just as special and cute on the inside as he is on the outside. Hope he had a wonderful birthday.
***Also had to laugh because my little Bryce had strict instructions to not let anyone comb his hair at school on picture day...let's just say that his school photo looks very similar to the smooth haired Jack in the funny photo you posted!
I'll raise my coffee cup in honor of Jack's birthday. Happy Birthday, Jack!
Happy Birthday Jack!!!

Is it just me or does the picture where he is hiking the football look like Willy?
Consider my juice box raised!

You and Mae would be quite a pair...o
Our big 8 year olds! Every year, I'm reminded that they are only a few days a part!
Are you telling me that you and your friend both had babies on 10-10? That's nuts.
