Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Jacob!

I love this little man with all of my heart. Not a day goes by that he doesn't make me laugh. He is the perfect balance to all of the "girl" emotions that reside in our home.

We spent part of Jacob's birthday in Boise while we waited for Amber to finish with a gymnastics meet. We then headed to the cabin with our good friends to celebrate.

I love birthdays, and I love to do special things to celebrate. Jacob had mentioned that he wanted breakfast in bed on his birthday, and I was happy to oblige; however, he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes in order to eat.

Its tradition to pop balloons with special notes of love. Jacob wanted to use his new weapon for the task.

 CHICK-FIL-A

Hailey wanted to know if Chick-Fil-A sang to people on their birthday, so as soon as a hostess walked by, she asked. The hostess' response cracked me up! With a slight question in her voice she replied, "We can." Obviously it wasn't something they traditionally did. She then left to gather a team of singers! When they came, they rang a cow bell and announced to the restaurant that here was a birthday in the house. As they sang, they presented Jake with a stuffed cow, and an ice cream sundae. Not only did they sing, but they went above and beyond to make Jake's day special. It was so sweet!

Before heading to the cabin, we ate lunch at Chick-Fil-A.

 CABIN
The snow was really heavy and wet, so while we were playing it was soaking through our clothes. At one point, Jake was feeling done; however, he quickly changed his mind when I mentioned that I needed another beautiful picture of him. Immediately he decided to climb on the tube with Bryan all for the name of a good picture. When he mentioned to Bryan he was wet, Bryan told him he could go inside to which he replied, "But mom needs to get another picture of me." He cracks me up! What a ham!

The Pruett's came to the cabin with us to celebrate. We are so grateful for good friends!

Here's the good picture I promised Jake when he was wet and cold!
