<\/figure>\n\n\n\nJack is a very very simple, loving boy who is pretty content just hanging out. He’s super chill + always up for adventures. He tells me all day long “I yuv dat mom”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n When Grandma called Jack earlier in the morning – he told her that all he wanted was a “burtday cake with candles.” She came down, met us for lunch at Maddox + most definitely pulled through. Jack devoured that cake. He’ll probably never remember this birthday, but I always will. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/li> <\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe year I learned that birthday party past has been for me, not for them. I mean they love it, but the over-the-top-stress-details, have they ever even noticed? I didn’t throw a party this year, not even close to anything elaborate. I didn’t order anything online or plan any outfits. I didn’t send out invites. We went about our day doing simple things that Jack adores with our dear friends + WE ALLLL HAD THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES. Imagine that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s been telling people (mostly Braedin) that he has 2 motorcycles, but they are broken in the garage. Had I known where Jon went, I would have had the camera on rapid fire when he saw that it was fixed. He hopped right on that thing + rode it until the sun went down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s something truly magical about simplicity. At the end of the day it leaves me even more grateful that I’m trusted to raise these incredible boys with their dad. I love them all, with ALL OF MY HEART. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
