Flight Museum

A few weeks ago Jack and I went to Alexander’s 5th birthday party at the flight museum.  We had such a fun time together.  I’m continually amazed at how wonderful it is to spend time with my little man.  He’s such a joy and a treat to be around.  He’s almost two different kids at this point, 1 when we are with big groups (this is the one that resists listening to reason and is more “active”) and another when we are at home with family or 1 on 1.  When it’s just he and I it is so incredibly different.  Jackson is my little buddy.  So helpful in every way and so much fun.  He amazes me with the things that he says and with his sweet and compassionate little heart.  I know that all moms feel like their kids are just the greatest in the world and I am no exception.
Anyway, I love going places with just Jackson because he’s just such a cool guy and so much fun to be around.  So, the party great and he loved it.

Snack and cake time.  Jack has such an outgoing personality that by the time we had cake he already knew who he was going to sit by the kids were calling him by name.  I love how easily he makes friends and really hope it keeps up.  Kids have so much self confidence and it’s awesome to watch.

The sweet birthday boy.

Jack and this little guy became fast friends searching for treasure in the planes.

I love Jackson’s smile here.  He was convince that he’d found something super special!

I’ve never stowed luggage quite like this before. . .

I didn’t get any pictures of Jack and Alexander other than this.  They were having a blast wrestling around the place. 

The only sad thing about the party was that Cora wasn’t there.  We know Alexander (and his parents) thru Carolyn who has been close with Aneta since college.  So, we’ve never hung out with them without the Oldenburg’s before.  We were all really missing them that day.
