Jake turned 10 years old on Friday, October 14th! T-E-N...how can that be? His first "present" was the fact that he had no school on his birthday! Despite the fact that he could have slept in, he chose to still go out to breakfast with Daddy, a birthday tradition. His next gift came with a little smoothness on his part. After playing First In Math on the computer for a while, I reminded him of his dishes (a daily chore) that still needed to be done. He looked up at me and said, "Since it's my birthday, will you do them for me?"We left for the library late morning and checked out a bunch of books. Then, we made our way over to Ms. Beth's house. Except for when I had to drag him in for some lunch, Jake played outside the entire time. There is always lots of tree climbing, mud sloppin', good old fashioned outdoor fun when we go over to the Riddell's who have lots of wooded area surrounding their property.
We left there around 5pm. We met Grandma and Grandpa K., Uncle Matt, Aunt Sarah Beth, and Anna at McDonald's around 6:30 for dinner (Jake's choice for a quick restaurant so that everyone could come over to our house afterward and hang out....thought that was sweet considering he had his choice of where to go).
Yesterday, we had his Minute To Win It party with 5 of his friends outside at the church. He seemed to have a great time and so did his friends. So fun to watch boys interact with each other. We left the memory card to the camera at home, but thankfully, my mom took a bunch of pictures with her phone for us. Will post those soon.
Just wanted to give a belated birthday wish to Jakers! We love you, son!

AAAAAAK we missed his birthday. Last Thursday I told Jack to remind me and we'd call Jake!!! Shooty!
Well, a week late is still fun, right??
Sure, Jill. I'm sure he would love that! He has a sleepever tonight for Awana boys, so he will be leaving around 5:45 for that...but anytime between 2:30 and then or tomorrow after 11am, he'll be here.
