Jack finally had his first birthday party. After having to postpone it for a week because he got the stomach flu, we finally got to have it. It went great! There were quite a few people that couldn't make it because of the date change, but we did have a good turnout. My big surprise was that I had a fire engine from our city come out for the kids. They got to climb all over the engine, touch everything, sit in all the seats, pretend they were driving it and push all the buttons. It was awesome that they came out and a great treat for the kids (and I think the adults too). The firemen were super nice and even took pictures with us. After that we had a pinata, Jack smashed the cake in his face, presents, and more games. Everyone seemed to enjoy it but most importantly Jack had a ball. He LOVED the fire engine. He just had a great time for the entire party.
I can't believe my little guy is 1 years old already. Time has flown by with him. He is such a blessing to this family and has brought a countless number of smiles to our face. He has a sweet heart and he is all boy. It always makes me sad to see my kids grow up because I know that I'll never have this time back. That is why I feel so blessed to get to stay home and care for my kids and watch them grow and share every experience with them. I am truly grateful to Matt for allowing me the opportunity to do this and thankful that he is such a hard worker. God has blessed our family so much. He has taken care of us all and held our hands through many difficult situations.
