Jake’s Proposal

We were about to leave Cookout and Jake was on his knees on the bench next to Kate. He held his hands up like he was holding an imaginary ring box and said, "Kate, will you carry me?"

Pancake Hangover

That's that's Drew face down.

Spaghetti and Jax

Jake just got down from his chair while eating spaghetti so that Jax could 'clean' the spilled spaghetti off his chest.

Post shower hair is the best

Jake comforting Drew

Drew missed a few math problems in a row and was very frustrated. Jake didn't know I was in the room and said, "It's ok, Drew. Whenever I'm trying to read a hard word and I don't get it right, I'm ok."

Christmas Lists 2018

I thought this would be fun to look at later. Drew's main thing he wanted was surprises. He said he likes to be surprised.

Our Newest Reader

I can't say enough about how great this guy has done with his reading. He's not scared of big words and not easily frustrated. He read words like spaghetti, exercise, and important. These words were not easy, but he read 30 stacks of 10 words and placed a sticker each time he finished one. 

And now, as promised, Jake gets to have a party to celebrate his work tonight. We are going to the store to pick out a cake or cupcakes and ice cream and we are going to have popcorn and watch a movie. 

SO proud of this guy!!

Jake’s cuteness

Another funny from Jake

Me: Can you believe Disney World opened 47 years ago? That was before I was even in Grandmama's tummy. It was even before Dad was in Gram's tummy!

Jake: WHAT? Dad was in Gram's tummy?

Me: Well yes - whose tummy did you think Dad was in? 

Jake: Granddad's. 

Me: No, Dad was in Gram's tummy.

Jake: So he really wasn't in Grandded's tummy?

Me: No, boys can't have babies in their tummies.

Jake: (extended silence as he is in deep thought)

Jake’s 4 year check-up stats

He's in the 90th percentile in height! I think they said around 60th% in weight. His eyes checked out great which was a big relief because this is about when they found Ben's problem.
