Happy Birthday Jake


Today is Jake's 6th Birthday!! He knew just exactly what kind of party he wanted...a Cowboy Party which was no surprise!! Jake wanted all his friends to be able to ride a horse so Grandpa brought down our tamest horse and took the kids for rides. Nicole had planned a very fun party with some Cowboy grub (lunch), games and a pinata. The kids kicked up their heels and had a great time.



A few thing I love about Jake..........
*He is a great helper.....Jake is always willing to help no matter what the chore is.
*He takes care of his brothers...Jake looks out for Josh and Sam when Nicole is not around, he is a great big brother!
*He is very athletic....Jake is competitive and this makes him one of the best players on his team whether its soccer or baseball. He is a great water skier too!
*He is a super reader and is more than ready for kindergarten
*He has a tender heart and is very kind to others
*He is fun to hang out with....he never runs out of ideas for fun things to do
*He says amazing prayers....Jake puts alot of thought into his prayers and you feel his sweet spirit when he prays.
Jake is the oldest Grandchild and has brought so much happiness into our family!! I love you Jake

Looks like it was a super fun party. I can't believe how big Jake has gotten. It makes me a little sad to see how much we are missing out. Leslie and Steve
