The Smith Smiles: Jackson turns one!

So this is how 1st birthdays go when you have more than one child......

Kid number one....big party, lots of people invited, Mom actually makes the birthday cake, cool decorations and millions of pictures.

Kid number two.....Mom almost forgets to even get a cake.....only the Grandparents show up for the party.....leftover decorations.......half as many pictures.

Kid number three.......Mom hasn't even planned anything the week of the birthday....birthday comes and goes......family goes camping....kid gets a birthday celebration in a campground with a last minute cake bought at the grocery store(basically just to get a few of those messy cake pictures)...about 10 pictures.

Basically that sums up Jackson's birthday! We spent the weekend at Lake Koocanusa(Northwest Montana, practically in Canada) camping with our friends and their family. A beautiful place! We have already reserved our spot for next year. It was a long drive and it was obvious we were closer to Canada than home as most of the people there were from Canada. It was nice to finally get to camp in the sun. The kids had a blast playing in the water and on the beach and even went for a boat ride on "Grandpa Arnie's" boat. The weekend was too short but we enjoyed it tons!
