The Big 10! Happy Birthday Jake



                   The TEN things I love most about Jake
1-  He never goes a day without dishing out compliments, be it to me, his dad, teachers at school, strangers.  
2-  Jake is a friend to all.  Even if someone is mean to him, he finds ways to be nice to them.
3-  He has freckles, so many freckles that we try to name the new ones every day.  LOVE THIS!
4-  Jake loves writing letters to me and his dad thanking us for all we do for him.  
5-  He loves helping out around the house.  He does not go to bed at night unless his room is clean.
6-  Jake has a great singing voice, and I love listening to him sing at the top of his lungs.
7-  Jake takes pride in how he looks-  his hair, and clothes always have to be picture ready.  :)
8-  Jake is a pleaser.  He does his best to please those around him.
9-  He is such a smart kid, and works hard in school
10-  He is my son, and I am thankful to my Father in Heaven for allowing me to be this boys mom.
Phat Cats in Ogden has a movie ride where you lay in the seat and watch a roller coaster ride on screen and the chair moves up and down and shakes,rattles and rolls.

 Can't believe my baby is 10.  There is a big part of me that is so sad to not have little ones in my house, to not have a kid who relies completely on me all the time.  But there is also a big part of me that is glad to be out of that stage of life.  I love that my kids are getting big, that they can do for themselves a bit more, and that they can carry on conversations with me.  I loved having them small, but I am loving the stage of life both my kids are in.
