Jake's 5th Birthday!

My Jakie is 5!  I love this sweet boy - he's fun, energetic, and full of surprises everyday.  :)  He definitely adds energy to our family and is adored by many.  What a guy!

Birthday presents for the birthday boy on birthday morning!  haha

This guy is fun to give presents to - he gets so excited!

Chocolate waffles for breakfast!

This first thing I thought when looking at this pictures was "that plate is way too small for all those delicious waffles!"

Jake trying out his new soccer stuff...

After presents and breakfast, we drove across the valley to the Renaissance Festival in Apache Junction - it was a warm day, but we still had a memorable time - looking through all these pictures brought back some fun memories!

Claire was too small for the bungee jumping, so she got face paint instead :)
