A Little Magic

 Friday just had a little something special in the air.  It was the day before Jackson's birthday and time to begin the celebration.  I brought him three brisket, bacon and cheese tacos from R Taco, the new Mexican hot spot in Murphy, as well as 9 dozen donut holes for him to give out to his classmates.

A couple hours after school, it was time for the Murphy Magic end-of-season party.  These girls had a terrific season, only losing one game.  Coach Shannon has done a fantastic job teaching them.

After we had finished eating, we were just chatting about this and that.  All of a sudden, some of his friends begin singing "Happy Birthday to you" and before we knew it, the entire room was serenading him!  His face turned bright red, but he had a huge smile on his face.  It was so cute!

Way to go, Magic!

And way to go #18!  Her trophy collection is getting pretty impressive.

Saturday morning, we kicked things off bright and early.  Jared got donuts for the fam and Jackson got to open his gifts.  Then we ran out the door at 8am to go cheer him on at his first flag football game of the season.

The other team scored first, but then these boys went on a 50 point run!  Cowboys won 50-6. 
Only a few hours later, these boys would be on opposite sides of the court for the basketball championship.

After lunch, this duo was all set for more athletic endeavours.  Lila had her first softball practice of the season, while J prepared to close out his basketball season.

These boys tried hard, but came up short in the championship game.  They got 2nd place in their league--not too shabby for a school team that only practiced once a week!

Another big trophy for the birthday boy's collection.  

Jackson met Gavin and Brock on the baseball field when he joined the Fury.  A few seasons later, Corbin made the team as well.  Since then, they have all moved on, but remained good friends.
I love it.

Up next, the birthday party that was only an hour after basketball ended!
