party hardy, dude

jack had his first official b-day party. we went to a park, played games like "red light, green light", had cupcakes, opened presents, and played on the playground. soooo much fun. thanks to all of jack's little buddies for coming!

this is jack's most exciting present, a full-size trampoline named herbert. yes, we splurged. but i'm so glad we did. he did not leave it for a full 24 hours. i think shawn loves it just as much as jack does. we've already had some great family times, telling stories and making up silly dances (like the "movie" dance and the "crying" dance) on the tramp. here is one said story:

"once there was a t-rex and he at ALL the fruit loops

and so his tummy hurt,

and his face,

and his arms,

annnnnd his elbows!

the end."

i am a little embarrassed about the above picture because i have many friends who decorate cakes for real (like tarryn and leslie and natali, etc). i'm really embarrassed actually. this is supposed to be a baseball cake for jack and shawn, but i ran out of the red gel frosting. and it was sunday so i couldn't buy more. the end. don't judge.
so shawn saw the movie "chicken run" for $5 at wal mart so he grabbed it for jack. jack doesn't get it, and is bored after 5 minutes of watching, but still insists on watching it almost every day. i don't understand.
