Party at the Lake

We had our family birthday party for Jacob this past Saturday at the lake where my parents live. I didn't have a "friend b-day party" and a "family b-day party" on purpose; it's just how it happened to have worked out this year. The theme for this party was John Deere as Jacob LOVES tractors and, as everyone knows, "nothing runs like a Deere". ;) The party was a success...all the kids had a great time and that was the most important thing. Allie started calling Jacob "Jake" for some reason (her sisters call him "Gay-jub" so I'm not sure how she came up with it, but she is the ONLY person that can get away with this) and decided she was going to tell him what and how to eat. Pretty cute to watch. During the course of the day Jacob decided that Brittany was his best friend and partner so the two of them were together most of the time. If she decided she wanted to go play with the girls he set off to find her and bring her back to whatever he wanted to do. She was his #1 "slide helper". ;) That was sweet too as the two of them haven't seen each other since he was only a few months old. Jacob has some great cousins that I feel really good about him growing up with...I know more good times are ahead.
