Jake is Eight

Saturday Jake turned eight and was lucky enough to be baptized on his birthday. He was so excited and I was too-he started counting down about a month ago. Almost everyday he would give me the update on how many days and what he wanted for his presents (it changed every time). It was a great day. After the baptism our family came over for lunch, cake, and presents. Jake was so surprised to see his cake. The day before when I was picking up his plain chocolate cake from costco, I had an idea on how to decorate it. I know-last minute-I'm pregnant what can I say! That night when Ben got home he used his amazing graphic design skills and came up with the picture we put on his cake-Yes- star wars again! I think that makes it four years in a row! I just hope he doesn't end up a single star wars crazed man who shows up at toys r us when new toys are released in his darth vader painted car wearing his favorite star wars shirt! Ben and I had a lot of fun creating the picture and couldn't stop laughing. Jake loved it. Aside from his new scriptures and journal everything else was star wars presents. He is in heaven and is now counting down the days until his Star Wars Battlefront game arrives in the mail. Happy Birthday Jake We love you-Our family would be so boring without you!
