jacob's birthday

Last week we celebrated Jacob's birthday. We decided it was time to have a birthday party, so Jacob invited some friends over and we started off with pepperoni pizza. Of course everyone brought presents and Jacob loved getting new stuff!

Here's the crazy bunch of boys: Colman, Jacob, Lincoln, Brayden and Stanton.

Next, we headed outside to use the slip n' slide. It was hot outside and the cold spray of the slide felt great! That's Ryan on the blue lane.

Here's Jacob coming down the blue lane with the blue blowup sled. Jared is ready to slide on the orange.

We also had a baseball pinata that was chock full of candy. The kids had fun beating on it blindfolded for awhile and then I finally ripped it apart and let the boys gather candy to their hearts delight. When everything was gathered up, they spent the next 15 minutes trading and making deals with each other to get their favorites. This was pretty funny to watch! We ended the party with one of Jacob's favorites -- brownies!

We gave Jacob a new bike for his birthday. It is a little bigger than his old bike and has a hand brake. He's been having fun riding around the neighborhood this week and getting used to his news wheels.
