My Jacob is 8!!!

Happy Birthday Jacob!!!

Can you believe my baby boy is eight!!! Time is flying by. Jacob is such a great kid and the best big brother anyone could ask for. He is caring, sensitive, helpful, and dang smart. We love having him in our family and enjoy the happiness he brings everyday. What a great kid! We celebrated with just a small family dinner tonight! His big birthday party with friends is this coming weekend so more pictures to come. Here is tonight's small recap!

Jacob is eating on the "I am special," plate Grandma Hansen gave to us!!!

Leif was very excited to see Jacob blow out the candles!

He did a pretty good job too!

Look at all that cake on his face. He is still my baby!!!

After dinner Grandpa was holding Luke when all the kids noticed and bombarded Grandpa!!!

I got Jacob a ripstick and think he may take him awhile to figure it out. I tried it and it is dang hard!!!

Typical Leif right now!

Trying out the ripstick before it gets to dark!

Sarah and Ryan came over after dinner to celebrate! They gave Jake and awesome nerf gun!

Say cheese!!!

Of course dad had to give Jacob his first BB Gun when he turned eight. Mom not to happy about that one. Hope he doesn't shoot his eye out.

Yeah! We Sold The House!!!

Nice way to end Jacob's Birthday!

Oh my! A BB gun! That is so a "dad" thing to give. Are you sure he didn't get it for himself and say it was for Jake? ;-) Happy Birthday Jake!!
