For some reason Jackson had his heart set on a "MONKEY" party for his birthday this year. We had just returned from our long trip so we just kept it simple and small. The movie 'Space Chimps' had just come out and Jackson giggled every time he watched the previews so we packed our snacks and headed to the movies. The kids loved it! All the way home they were singing..."I am Titan I am strong... No one wants to sing along!"
Jackson wanted "the lots of monkey's in the red bucket" for his birthday.
I was able to figure out that he was talking about a 'Barrel of Monkeys'
Uncle Paul and Raegan came over for presents and cake.
(Poor Brig was sick so he and Trisha couldn't make it.)
Jackson got a pet monkey and a new backpack for school. Blake and Audrey gave him some new cars and GR. C. gave him a cool Lightening Mcqueen shirt and plate set.
Raegan and Brigham gave him a BATMAN, and GR J. gave him a Nash jersey,
cars sheets, and a few other fun toys. He also really wanted the little orange cat from the Smurfs, Ahzriel, that he had spotted in Vegas. He was pretty excited about that one.
Audrey was very willing to watch over Jackson's new pet baby monkey for him while he was busy with presents. She carefully showed him how to properly feed and care for it.
Time for Cake!
Of course Jackson wanted a monkey cake. He talked about it for the next week or so.
Happy Birthday Jackson! We Love our little MONKEY!
