Your birthday was on a Wednesday this year. Grandpa Terry and Grandma Barb hosted a small family party for you on Monday night; Maddy, Logan, and Uncle Ryan were there too. It was a fun night, complete with pizza, cake, and presents. At the end of the night, all five of you decided to put on a fashion show. Jess, Lia, and Maddy presented the latest trends in summer fashion and accessories:) And, Logan and you strutted your stuff down the catwalk wearing a clown costume, fancy sunglasses, and Nerf accessories. It was great!
On your actual birthday, we had a quiet evening at home, just the five of us. You requested McDonalds for your birthday dinner. Ha! Then Dad and you played FIFA on the Xbox while the girls and I wrapped a few xmas presents. We ended the night reading books as a family (my favorite way to end our nights:)). Right now, you are into the Geronimo Stilton series and some of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books as well.
For your birthday party with some friends, you chose to have a gym party at the Onalaska YMCA. The first hour was spent playing games like, dodgeball, basketball, and football in the gym.
The remainder of the time was spent in the Y's party room, eating cake and opening gifts. (Although you had several friends at your party, I decided to only put this one of Logan and you during the gift opening)...
Third grade is going well for you, both socially and academically. Although you tell me most subjects are "just ok," sometimes there are certain topics that really spark your interest. Most recently, it was a lesson about nature (animals and storms), a history lesson about the Titanic, and a unit about outer space (you wrote a report about the planet Jupiter). You're a smart kid, and good leader at school.
Playing sports with friends and Dad is still one of your favorite things to do. Soccer, football, basketball (currently in season with), and downhill skiing (would be in season with if we ever get the snow/temps). You also enjoy playing Xbox and collecting Pokeman and sports cards.
Overall, we think you are a smart, funny, and energetic young man.
We love you Jackson!
Mom and Dad
