Oh my, it can't be!



Do I really have a 14 year old???  Crazy how time has flown!  We celebrated Jake's 14th Bday this past week.   Jake was the first grand baby on both sides.  As you can imagine he was quite loved and SPOILED!!  Everyone, (especially his uncles) wanted to be around the blond haired blue eyed little Jake.  He was and is such a joy in our lives.  His true love is basketball, he would play every moment of the day if we let him.  When he was two he would fly through the living room and slam dunk into his Little Tykes basketball hoop. He is a die hard Boston Celtics and Red Sox fan.  He gets a lot of heat from his friends here in LA! Jake is very social and has many friends inside and outside of the church.  He is a great example to all with his good standards and morals.  I dropped him off at his first stake dance last weekend.....what memories that brought back for me! Thank you to everyone who has played such an important role in his life!  He was lucky enough on his bday to have family visiting with us and both grandparents around.   We are very proud of him and are excited to start a new chapter in his life,  high school.....oh my, am I really old enough to have a child in high school?  We love you Jake!!!! 


Jake got to spend part of his day a Build A Bear celebrating his cousin Ava's Birthday!  Jake, Ava and Nathan's brother Seth all have bdays the same day!

Seriously, stake dances...how did we get to be so old so fast? I remember coming to see baby Jake at the first little apartment you & Nate lived in many years ago! He's definitely a looker!!!!
