Happy 2nd Birthday Jackson!!

I cant believe my "baby" is two years old already! I just need time to slow down already. Although I know, unfortunately, that it is just gonna go by faster and faster as the years go by. I'm trying to savor every moment. We made some good memories this weekend celebrating Jackson's big day which was also the first Gator game of the season! It was only natural that we took the celebration up  to Gainesville! Both sets of grandparents joined us and we had a blast! Friday night we had a birthday pizza party for Jackson. It was complete with Satchel's pizza and Publix cupcakes for dessert. Yum! Jackson got spoiled with tons of gifts.I have to say, the $1.69 balloons were the biggest hit though! Isnt that the way it always goes?

Saturday morning, after a good nights sleep (Jackson slept til 9:15!), we packed the coolers and the cars and were on our way for an afternoon of tailgating on campus. The grandmas were nice enough to watch Jackson and put him to bed that night while Toby, the grandpas, and I went to the game.

On Sunday before we took off back to Naples we took Jackson down to campus and let him run around in "The Swamp". I was able to get a lot of cute photos! After we got back home on Sunday evening, Jackson had even more presents to open from relatives that had mailed gifts to him. He got so many nice and thoughtful gifts. Jackson is a lucky little boy! Toby and I are also vey lucky to have such a cute, smart, healthy and loving little son.
