Jaxon's School Birthday

I always felt bad for the kids in my class growing up that had birthdays in the summer because they didn't get to celebrate their birthday at school. So when we ended up having Jaxon in the summer, I felt bad he'd miss out on that. Of course, when he started seeing other kid's celebrate their birthdays in school he wanted to also so I told him that in May we could do that even though it wouldn't be his "real" birthday. I've come to see that this summer birthday "curse" is actually a blessing. (Good thing I didn't figure this out when I was in young.) Jaxon gets to celebrate his birthday at school and then on his real birthday. Another bonus about a summer birthday is it lends to pool parties easily. So my poor baby has ended up doing quite well!

Here we are getting his spiderman cupcakes ready.

(I thought I was so smart getting prepared and charging the battery on our new digital camera the night before so it would be all ready then when I got ready to leave I couldn't get the battery in so I had to use our old one. I can really tell the difference in pictures now.)
Getting ready for the first bite.

He decided to ride his tricycle this year in the parade.

After he rode his tricycle Blake brought him back and he rode on the YO Club float with me while Blake rode in the pick-up so we don't have any pics of that.

After the parade there is a barbecue in the park and games. Granny and Papa came to enjoy Satanta Day with us but unfortunately I didn't get any pics with them.

They had this at the park last year and Jaxon loved it. This year he knew more about it and was worried. They grab your feet then bounce you so that you will go higher and he only wanted them to do it once. I told them that but they did it more then once so he wasn't very happy when he got off of it but he seemed to be having fun while he was up there.

Satanta Day Carnival 2011

Here are the pics from the carnival. It was held on Friday and Saturday so we went both nights. Jaxon had a great time. He's been talking about it ever since last year. He didn't ride quite as many different rides this year. I rode with him on the Tilt-A-Whirl and he was not looking very good during it then he said he felt bad afterward. He got over it and rode more but stayed away from it and the Sizzler.

Jemma just trying to sleep during all the commotion.
