When we returned from our Annual Ocean Isle Beach trip, it was time to celebrate Jackson's 8th birthday. I cannot begin to believe that it has already been 8 years since we were blessed with such a sweet, kind, thoughtful boy. Imagine our surprise when we invited 7 of his closest friends for a backyard party and the party turned WILD! Jackson decided he would have a backyard water party. We put out the inflatable waterslide, blew up over 100 water balloons, put out buckets and buckets of water for the boys to fill their soaker guns. How bad could it be right? The weather was hot (perfect for a water party) and we had a relatively small crowd. The party started at 4:00 and by 4:15 Tod and I were really scared. These boys were WILDER than I have ever seen any group of children. We endured an hour of this choas before I announced that the pizzas had arrived and hoped that everyone would at least sit for 5 minutes. Didn't happen. I think they shoveled down nearly 4 pizzas in less than 3 minutes and were back at it again. The next hour proved to be even more wild than the first. We finally stopped them all and allowed Jackson to open his presents (which we don't normally do during the party itself). When all was said and done, no one was hurt and I think they all had a GREAT time. Tod and I are still recovering! Here are some pictures!

Wish I could have been there to see all the crazy boys running around. I am sure they had a blast!
