We can't have a birthday without breakfast in bed! Jake was comfortably asleep in my bed while we cooked up a mean breakfast burrito and sausage. I let them pick what they like... and he is my meat boy for sure. Good Morning birthday boy!
Jake wanted to take soda and rice crispy treats to school and we got a good shot with the littles who totally disrupted the class when we took the treats in.
Poor Taylor picked a bad week to head out of the country... But fortunately, we have SKYPE. We talked to him everyday at least once and the kids LOVED being about to see him. We let him be a part of the party.
We made a cake and lucky for Jake is buddy Carter brought a case of mountain dew for him!! he was stoked.
We don't do themed parties after age 8 and he can't invite the 16 friends he usually has. He got to choose 3 friends and took them to IRON MAN 3. Yes, I let my child drink mountain dew AND watch PG 13 movies. This was definitely NOT in my parenting projections. :)
Jake had a great birthday week. He played for the championship and WON in his division for club soccer.
Coach Christensen and Coach Earl are miracle workers. They took a group of boys (many who hadn't really played soccer -- jake) and turned them into champions. We are excited to play again with them next year.
Jake LOVES his team. They had a team party the next night and Jake won the "hussle meister" award. The coaches love him because he is a smart player and never stops running. He plays defender and even if someone gets past him, he usually can run back and still defend the goal.
We have loved being on the older team because is means we get to play with Ryan our across the street neighbor. They are so fun and it's SO nice to have someone to carpool with. Although Ryan is tall... you can see what a little munchkin Jake is in comparison. Good thing he has heart and plays to the fullest each time. Otherwise, his athletic career might be kind of bleak!
This picture is why I love boys... I would never be able to pack around a girl to all these games. They just take care of business when and wherever they please. I kind of close one eye and pretend I don't know, but this was soo funny, I had to document it. I think I need to teach him about being a little more discrete in the future.
And although this was a few days after his birthday, I thought I would post here how cute Jake is as a nerd. It was nerd day at school to remind them to "boost up there pants" and ride in boosters/seatbelts. :) He was SUPER nervous he would be the only one dressed up, so THANKFULLY, Luke Franks came dressed up too and I got a picture. whew.. close one dude.
Wow.. I can't believe how time flies! I am so lucky to have him as my oldest child. he is just one fun kid. He can have adult conversations and understand most any thing we say. He even laughs at our jokes and cracks his own from time to time. We sure love him. I love having a buddy that I can totally trust to choose the right. He is a little example to me all the time. Happy 9th birthday!
