Jacob's Birthday!

Today is Jacob's 4th birthday! We had just barely wrapped our brains around the fact that he's no longer a baby and all of a sudden he's no longer a toddler!

Since we were all home from school/work for Memorial Day, Brad thought he'd take the boys fishing again early this morning as a fun birthday treat for Jacob. As they were getting ready to go, Jacob said that he'd rather wrestle with his Dad and brother on the trampoline than go fishing :) I thought that was cute...and it saved Brad the drive out to the kids' fishing pond!


After lunch we let Jacob open up one of his presents so he and the kids could play with it (a little sprinkler toy for the back yard). They had a lot of fun - the weather was great for it!


Jacob requested a Spiderman cake this year so while the kids were out playing I got busy with that. When I asked him what flavor of cake he wanted, he said, "Sugar flavor". One sugar-flavored Spiderman cake, coming up!


Just before dinner Brad called me into the living room and this is what I found...


Apparently, that sprinkler toy was more exhausting than it looked! He eventually came to and ate his birthday dinner (BBQ) with the family. After dinner he opened up the rest of his presents.



And then he finally got to eat his cake!


4th Birthday, so here are four (of the many!) things we love about Jacob:

- He's easy to please and mild mannered

- He's kind-hearted

- He's developing such a cute sense of humor

- He loves his family

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAKEY! WE LOVE YOU!
