Jackson's 6th Birthday

Jackson,
On your 6th birthday (or the Saturday following), you had your first party with invited friends. Tristan and Sienna Augedahl, Reese and Riley Diersen, and Kaden Peterson all came to the AmericInn to swim and celebrate with you. Your grandma, grandpa, aunt Marcie, sister, dad, and I were there as well (Josh had to work but called to wish you Happy Birthday and Minna had just gotten home from New Orleans). You were quite the water bug going from life jacket to no life jacket. You enjoyed floating on your back with the life jacket on. After swimming for 2 hours, we had pizza, opened presents, and ate cake. You picked the cake you wanted, so I made you a home-made, 3D, buttercream, fondant Clone Trooper. It was a lot of fun making it and you were soooo sweet when you saw it the first time.

Grandma and Grandpa gave you a beta fish in a fishbowl for your birthday. You gave it three names and finally settled on SharkTooth. From us, you got a new football since you've become quite the little football catcher. Your hand-eye coordination has improved tons since your dad has been working on catching with you. No broken lamps yet, but lots of fun. Grandpa B and Grandma Jan sent you a Star Wars guy. They are always so kind and never forget a special day.
