Happy Birthday JC!

Oh boy!  Yet another birthday (numero tres) for my little brother.  Unsatisfied with last year's multi-state, multi-time zone birthday that involved the outdoor fair McLean Day, JC's birthday lovin' momma decided to turn to the only thing that could top last year's birthday.  It was - ABQ Jump!


Yes, an indoor bounce house lodged in Albuquerque's warehouse district was the key to a great birthday.  It remains to be seen whether momma will celebrate her birthday there, too - as she had lots of fun, as well.  Day 1 ended with a birthday cake....a birthday pancake!!


The next day, JC woke up and found out that his party was continuing...Look at his confused face!


He got a lot of new toys and a multitude of clip-on ties.  How many kids are lucky enough to have the same clip-on tie that their dad wore in their 2nd grade photograph?

He also got a basketball hoop...


and a sandbox!


One day later, JC got his birthday cake.  Why the wait?  The bleepin' altitude had ruined the previous two days' cakes.  The coyotes ate well that weekend...But it was worth the wait!  Look at that!

And all his rowdy friends were there, too!


Happy 3rd birthday JC!  Congrats for potty-training yourself two days before the big day, too!  Thanks for everyone's gifts!

crazy about that clip on tie. I have wondered how cooking is going for you high up there in the mountains.
So stinkin jealous about the potty training. One day, someday I hope to have all my children toilet trained.

Happy Bday JC!
You are sure stylish with your Jonas' brother, or some other such young hearthrob hairstyle. I'm sure you have all the little 3 year old girls' wrapped around your finger.
Or at least your mom. ;)

Little J,

I really like the fact that you wore all the ties while playing basketball. Some guys are just cooler!

Love,

Aunt Ju-La
