"When I was a fish, I swam in the pond," said Jake

Our Finest Achievement:

Now most of you that have met Jake know how active he is....but there is a dark side to him. Jake absolutely refused for 3 1/2 years to ride his bike like a normal kid! That is...until Sunday! Jeremy was outside washing our trucks (yes...applaud him) and Jake decided today was the day he was going to show the world that he can ride a bike but only when he wants to. Kudos to Jake! Now he can ask Santa for the super-cool Spiderman bike!

This is Jake mad at me...even with the smile hiding on his face.
Awhile back, we took Jake to the Jacksonville Zoo. Now most kids would run around screaming and harrassing the animals and other visitors, but not my brain child! Jake had his 'mouska-map' out and directed us all day around the zoo....He knew where everything was. Sure, the gorilla and jaguar are important animals to see...but he was more focused on where we need to go next, rather than where we are at the moment. He did get to feed a baby giraffe but (as you know, Jake hates to get slimy things on his hands) it was more fun for us than him!
*He insisted to where the jacket and hoody most of the day so the monkeys would not through bananas at him!

A flower for his favorite....

Thanks Aunt Amanda!! Jake was so excited to get a package in the mail from Target. He is brand-loyal! He slipped them on immediately and demanded McDonald's ice cream and a bike ride to the 'big kid' playground. The ladies love him....

Have a great week!!
