Jackson's Birthday Party- 5 years old!

Oh my gosh. Didn't Jackson JUST have a party for his 4th birthday? Where the heck is all the time going?? 

Anyways, I didn't get a whole lot of pictures from his party for two reasons: I worked till 3:30, the party started at 3pm. And I randomly got a migraine during the party, so I had to bow out early to get home to take care of it quickly. 

So here's what I got!

 See Jacob there? He's going for the pinata! The kids weren't hitting it hard enough (well, actually the bat was plastic...) So to help the kids out- he threw it on the ground. 

I like how in the pic on the right, the kids were bracing themselves for the loud explosion. Hahah!

 Tyler and I got Jack the Mario costume! Jack and his buddies are always dressing up in costumes, so I knew he'd love it! 

Jackson is such a sweet boy! Tyler and I are so lucky to be apart of this kid's life and to have him apart of our's! We love, love, love him!

Jacob is helping Ryan out with target practice with Jack's new dart bow-and-arrow!

Elder Randall is BACK!

Finally, the two years are up! Actually, to be honest, I feel like they went pretty quick- which is a good thing! Our cousin, Steve, just got home from his mission! He served on the Marshall Islands for 2 years as a missionary for our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!

As tradition (for those that are able to), loved ones wait by baggage claim to greet and welcome home their missionaries, a lot of the time with big signs, banners and balloons! 

Now because I'm super lame, I accidentally left my camera at home so I had to try and get good ones with my phone!

What a stud muffin, eh?

Tyler and I are SO EXCITED that one of our best friends is back!! And we can't wait to spend loads of time with him!! 

Personally, I'm looking forward to the many trips to Costco! (It's our thing.)
