Birthday number six for Jacob. He's a smart little cookie. He loves books, especially informational ones. He frequently brought home ones about animals, trucks, airplanes, etc from the school library. And he's reading at a 2nd grade level right now--its been fun to watch the love & skill of reading take off in him. Jake loves the concept of "fast"--his favorite animal is the cheetah, he loves to run and is quite competitive. In fact, he told me last year that his goal was to be the fastest kid in his class. The kid still loves to play on the floor with trucks, planes, and trains, though Matchbox cars have taken a back seat to Legos right now. He can follow the directions by himself to put something together, though it doesn't stay together very long as he races, flys, and crashes his creations. And he takes his role as the big brother very seriously--he is Makenna's protector, her playmate, and he loves to torture her. It will be very interesting to see how things play out when little brother is old enough to join in.
Mmmm...frosting! I let him lick off the beater just for the messy face picture. :)
He requested a shark cake. I think it turned out pretty well.
We had a family birthday celebration (no friend party this year--too much work) and Jake chose mini golf.
Four little monkeys playing in a cage...

I think he was in love with the present he was unwrapping.
Yep, it was the Lego Movie!
A completed Lego birthday gift.
"Happy Birthday to You!"
Love their cute little faces!
I don't remember what they were laughing at, but I love the looks of sheer enjoyment!
