Jake is Five!!

 Jake turned five this year!!! There is something about five that seems so big, they become so independent from this age on. Its one of those milestone ages. We had a great party with all our family and celebrated the week before with the Squires side since they were in town for Hudson's blessing. We had our traditional pick your favorite breakfast which was French toast for Jake. We hung balloons all over. The boys can't resist that many balloons. We had a party later that night and he got just what he wanted a Black Pearl lego ship. Its so fun to have all the cousins over. We had our third knight party and made a sword cake. He just loves being the hero and anything sharp. At first Jeff was a good sport and had all 10 kids helping put together the ship. Luckily no pieces were lost and we worked till after midnight getting it put together. Jeff put it on our front entrance table as a shrine and we both crossed all our fingers and toes it wouldn't get broken into a million pieces. We did take some advice and super glue some main pieces together. Happy 5 Jake!!




Five Reasons we LOVE our Jake the Snake...
1. Jake, you are the peacemaker in our home and have such a carefree attitude. You are always happy to help anytime. And you do it with such a happy attitude.
2. Your eyes are always sparkling at us and so loving.
3. You are a great friend, very caring and trying to make everyone feel comfortable. You are loyal to your friends and willing to help them no matter what and defend them.
4. We love that you are sneaky. Whether its sneaking a snack in the pantry and sneaking into our room at 5am.
5. You are genuine in all that you do.
We can't wait for the next five years!
