This year we had a Jacob's birthday celebration at home with a pizza and slip & slide party where we invited family and friends to celebrate the special occassion. It's hard for me to believe that my baby boy is 9 years old...I just shake my head and wonder where all the time has gone. Fortunately, we had a nice sunny day for the slip and slide party but we won't be doing that again - WHAT A MESS! Should have listened to hubby!
