Happy Birthday Jacob!

Ten years ago today, I became a mom. In some ways, it seems like yesterday, I was working and rushing to the Dr. and driving myself to the hospital, in other ways, it seems like about a hundred years ago! But, today is Jacob's tenth birthday.
Here are ten facts about Jacob:
1. Jacob is a really sweet, kind and sensitive boy. He is especially kind to younger kids and can always entertain any little one, especially the bored ones at church. He goes out of his way to give little ones their toys back or to help them figure out how the toy works.
2. He loved getting his picture taken, especially when he was little, we won't talk about how he has learned to make faces and roll his eyes now (this is a very new thing for him -- we won't talk about the stress it causes for mom :))

 

3. He loves to build things with anything, especially legos, or kinex.
4. He is easygoing and fun loving.
5. He loves being with his cousins and relatives, even if the oldest cousin is Spencer's age, he plays with them and enjoys them.

 

6. He loves to read. His very favorite books of all time are Calvin and Hobbes comic books. Sometimes to my chagrin he likes to pretend he is Calvin.
7. He loves to eat meat. If it looks like meat, he will eat it, he also likes shrimp. Actually, I should say he LOVES shrimp!
8. He has stayed up all night playing Wii, Jake was home tending them, he slept for a few hours in the morning and then went back to playing, and you wonder why it is in storage?! He is a night owl, if you haven't guessed!
9. He is very competitive, at church they have a contest with bringing scriptures to class and he makes sure EVERYONE in his class has scriptures!

 

10. He loves the gospel and wants to try to do what is right.

 

Happy birthday Jacob, we are so glad that you are in our family, and we are so proud of the choices that you make and the fine young man you are becoming!
