Jake turned five years old today. Here are five things that I love about Jake:
1. He is innocent. He might hit and push other kids, but most of the time he is not trying to be mean- it is hard for him to control his actions.
2. He is very expressive. If Jake is really excited about something, you'll know. If he is upset about something, you'll also know!
3. He is sweet. When someone gets hurt (even if he's the reason they are hurt) he'll pat them and tell them it's okay and try to make them feel better.
4. He is great at giving hugs and kisses. We love 'Jakey hugs'!
5. He is a good brother. Although he and Nathan seem to fight a lot, they really are great friends. The first thing Jake asks in the morning is where Nathan is. He also loves Max, though he expresses his love in a somewhat rough manner!
We had fun celebrating Jake's birthday today. We are at my parent's cabin right now (more pics to come) and so he got to celebrate with ALL 14 of his cousins on my side of the family!
He started the day with his birthday balloons in bed when he woke up. It took him a minute to figure out what was going on, but then he got excited about all of the balloons.
We then went rafting down the Snake River. The rapids were a little bigger than normal which was really fun. Jake kept wanting Jon to go backwards and turn circles in the raft!
Later that evening we had a barbecue and then opened presents. Jake got lots of good stuff including Hungry, Hungry Hippos and this Fridge Farm toy.
He also got a new scooter from Grandma and Grandpa Warnick. He was pretty excited about it!
Carli did her birthday spotlight that she does for everyone's birthday. One of the things she said was that the person Jake admires the most is his dad. I definitely agree with that!
It was also my dad's birthday so Carli did a spotlight for him as well. It's always so fun for Jake to celebrate his birthday with his Grandpa Bob!
We ended the day with a letter 'J' cake! Jake was really cute trying to blow out his candle. I think everyone was a little apprehensive about eating a piece anywhere near the candle! A little saliva never hurt anyone!!!
We love our little Jake and are so glad that he is part of our family.
Happy Birthday!
