Jackson's 2nd Birthday Party!!

Happy Birthday to Jackson, Happy Birthday to Jackson!
I can't believe my little boy is 2 now!!!
Happy Birthday to Jackson!!

We had a wonderful time last night celebrating Jackson's 2nd birthday!
This was my first attempt at a real birthday cake and I have to say it turned out really cute!
Jackson was so excited the first time he saw the whole thing put together! He totally knew that
it was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, from his favorite disney show.
I really enjoyed making this cake with the help of my sweet husband!
And Jackson absolutely loved it which is the most important part huh!

This is Jackson's first reaction. He was signing and saying "Candy" because he thought it looked like candy. Then he started talking about Mickey's ears as you can see from his hands! He loved it!

Family Picture time!

Jackson got so many awesome presents from all his family! Thank you everyone!!
I was surprised at how awesome Jackson was at opening presents! Last year he needed a
lot of help to open them and then he would get mad when we tried to take one away to open another present! This year he was a pro at ripping and he did pretty good at not getting upset about switching to another present. Well, except for the baseball bat...he couldn't keep his eyes off of that one and he had to try it out before we could move on! Jackson was also so sweet and polite at saying "Thank you" to everyone! It was so cute!


We gave Jackson a cute little tent with a tunnel. He loves the tunnel! His cousin
Mei Li showed him how to use it and now he just loves it!

After Blowing out the candle we told him to dig in and he sure did!
"I want that Candy part right there!"

House Search Continues...

We have been looking for a house for four weeks now. We have two houses that we really like. Such a huge and difficult decision! Both houses have their own pros and cons. But one of them has less "cons" than the other. It is in a better area, it is bigger and cheaper. The only apprehension is that it would need a little bit of work like new carpet and paint. I just can't wait to be able to decorate my own house for once!! If anyone has any advice for this first time home buyer please share!!!!! As the house search continues!!
