Jackson: A year in photos age 8-9

Here is my annual birthday installment of my favorite pictures of Jackson from the past year. He's grown up on me a lot this year. He keeps getting taller and I tease him all the time I need to fatten him up! We are so lucky to have him in our family. 

Some highlights from his year:
-Started cub scouts
-Was baptized and confirmed a member of the church
-Took trips to Hawaii, Glacier National Park, Goblin Valley, Jackson Hole, Island Park
-Played baseball, basketball, flag football, continued skiing, ran AF Canyon kids run
-Discovered he loves shrimp (after eating at Giovanni's on Oahu)
-Built and raced a soapbox derby car
-Saw an eclipse in totality
-3rd year of piano lessons
-Started 3rd grade

Other notes about Jackson:
-Still loves reading and reads in bed every night. Sometimes I have to tell him to quit reading so much and go play!
-Loves Star Wars
-Says basketball is his favorite sport and is enjoying playing on a Bantam team this year
-Doesn't like being teased about girls :)
-Loves playing with his friends and they all seem to be obsessed with video games 
-Almost always eats a toasted bagel with Nutella for breakfast
-Wears a size 6 shoe and we have to size up in shirts and pants for height
-Favorite foods/restaurants: Cafe rio steak burrito (which he can finish sometimes!), shrimp, fried rice, french dip sandwiches, chicken noodle soup, clementines
