The Johansons and Jace's 5th birthday

The Johansons came down to hang one weekend, and we decided to combine Jace and Ashlee's birthdays and have a party for both!  We went to gravity park!  It was so fun!  The men enjoyed the basketball hoop


 Cute cousins.  :)  They kind of look alike I think

When dad's there you can get tossed as high as you desire


We had a little party for Ashlee that day and had a little BBQ for dinner.  The next day was Jace's actual birthday.  He got some fun presents he was excited about, including a batman Imaginext set.




Jace chose brownies for his cake.  



Jace is such a sweet kid.  He is the most sensitive child in our family, and has a really big heart.  He's also very much a boy and loves acting like a tough guy.  He's very artistic and loves to draw.  He also builds, and invents things every day.  He is constantly making swords, bows, contraptions to hold things, and tying stuff up, etc. etc. etc.  He's a funny little guy.  He's really good at math kind of things too.  He's a pretty easy going, calm child, but at times the crazy definitely comes out of him!  (Usually around other boys or cousins!)  He is very good with routine and rules.  He is always reminding me to put my seat belt on, that we need to read scriptures, etc.  He's also really good at doing things on his own.  He gets all ready for the day before I have to ask him.  He will also pack his own lunch if needed, and always remembers if it's show and tell or whatever.  I'm not sure what that tells about him but I like it!  He will usually do whatever I ask him without a second thought.  He's especially good at doing his chores on his own.  He's not very good at cleaning his room though ;)  He's such a natural at sports and loves them, especially soccer.  Best of all he still loves to cuddle his mama and I love it!  Jace is such a special boy and I'm so lucky to be his mom!
