Jacob's 7th Birthday
Jacob turned 7 years old a couple of weeks ago. I can't believe it! Last year we got him cheap bike from Walmart and it's had nothing but problems. I told him it had to last him for 2 summers, but he rides his bike all day long, so the problems have been particularly annoying. And because we just moved into a new house we couldn't afford a nice bike that would last. But thanks to KSL classifieds we found this sweet, very gently used bike that Jacob LOVES and will last a long, long time!
Grandma and Grandpa gave him a really nice new bat to go with the new baseball glove and ball they gave him last year. Grandpa was in town to give it to Jacob in person! And I forgot to take a picture, but Nanny and Papa gave Jacob a really nice telescope fishing pole that'll be great for carrying in a backpack for scouts! What a lucky boy!
Jacob got a friend party this year and chose a bike party for a theme! Unfortunately, it was a busy weekend for lots of his friends, and only half of the boys could come. But that just made it easier for me! Yeah! We had a great time playing bike games, decorating license plates, eating wheel cupcakes, and hitting another pinata!
Isn't this a cute picture of Brandon giving instructions for a bike game? Jacob gave me a big hug after his party and said, "Thanks for making my party a huge success, Mom!" Wow! You're welcome, Jacob. What a blessing Jacob is to our family. His zest for life, love of the outdoors, willingness to help, and bigger than life personality fill our hearts. We love you, Jacob!
