Happy 5th Birthday Jakeyman!

Boy do we love you!!!

Last sleep as a 4 year old…..sweet dreams buddy.

Walking through the birthday streamers as a 5 year old.

After church we went to a yummy breakfast with some relatives….

We were up late the night before and had such a busy day that the “guys” of the house needed a nap to regain some energy for the rest of the celebrating…..

In case we forgot……he’s 5!

Birthday brotherly love…..

Jacob chose to go bowling for his day (actually later changed his mind to Chuck E. Cheese, but it was too last for that). Grandma and Grandpa were able to join us.

Dear Jacob,

We love you so much. I can't believe how much you have grown up into a little young man. ;) No more little boy with chubby cheeks. You are doing so well in preschool and we are so proud of what your teacher has shared with us. I love that you have made some great friends and they are all so excited to see you (well, the whole girls having a crush on you already worries me a little bit at this young age! ;) ).

You are so shy and quiet when new people and new things come around (maybe even a little anxiety)issue, but boy does that change once you are familar and comfortable. You are ALL BOY. You are loud, busy, competitive, love playing sports and running, the whole burping and farting thing..... (at least you say excuse me...but then smile about it!). At the same time....you ALWAYS want to snuggle at night and read a book, you are so good with Lucas, you share with and look out for your brothers (in fact when you got your stitches in last week you asked to get a sucker and sticker for each of your brothers also....who does that after they just had their head sewn together?!)

You are full of questions right now, and want to learn. It is so fun watching you come into your own. Keep up the great work buddy....we love you so! Happy 5th birthday!
