Jacob Turns 6

On May 15th Jacob turned 6. I can't believe that Jacob is already 6. He had a fantastic birthday this year. When Jacob went to bed the night before his birthday he asked for breakfast in bed. That morning when he woke up he did get a fun breakfast but not in bed. He got out of bed well before he could get it. We did give him pancakes with a candle in it.

Jacob was able to bring a treat to school and was sung Happy Birthday too. He enjoyed that. One request that Jacob really wanted this year was to eat at Red Robin. We went as a family and ate dinner together. It was fun. Jacob especially loved being sung too.

Jacob and Rachel eating the ice cream that was brought to Jacob for his birthday at Red Robin.

After dinner we went back to the house for presents and cake. This year we got him some really fun presents. Rachel bought him this foam rocket that you shoot through that air, a bike horn and a game for his leapster. He was really excited to the bike horn. Rachel picked one out that looked like a trumpet and that was really loud.

From Grandpa and Grandma Heileson he got new pants and a crayola wonder coloring kit. He screamed when he loves that. He loves to draw. He will spend an hour or more each day coloring. You will see from the cake he picked.


From his Mom and Dad we bought him some left handed golf clubs. He loved them. We have actually signed him up with the Idaho Falls Junior Golf Club. He is able to golf all summer long for free.




From Grandpa and Grandma Fisher they gave him a gift card.


When he saw the gift card he got all excited and said that he was going to buy a new bike with the gift card. He said that he then wouldn't have to put his horn on his old bike. He has talked about a new red bike for a while now. We played along with using the gift card for a new bike. We then told him to close his eyes for his next gift. Watch the video and see.

He acutally started crying in the video. He was so excited to get the new bike. He had no idea. It was so fantastic to see how excited he got.


After presents we had cake. Jacob wanted a blue crayon because of how much he loves to draw. I was pretty impressed with how well it turned out.

On the side of the cake it says "because he loves to draw."
I love the next two pictures of Jacob with his cake. He is so cute laughing as well as holding up his six fingers.


After we had cake we got a knock at the door. When we opened it there stood Jacob's friend Mckenna. Now let me tell about Mckenna. Mckenna is 15 years old. Rachel is friends with her little sister Elise. Months ago I went over to pick Rachel up from Elise's Jacob came in the house. Well Mckenna invited him to come and play Mario cart with him. He had so much fun with her. Well after that he went and played Mario cart with her anytime that Rachel played with Elise. Mckenna would always say hi to Jacob at church as well. She tells him too to come over when ever he wants. If Jacob goes over and she doesn't have much time she will still sit down with him and play. Well Jacob loves her. He has said that he wants to marry her. It is funny. She is just a really nice girl from a great family who thinks Jacob is fun to play games with. Well she was at the door with a goft. I guess a month before Jacob mentioned when his birthday was. She then added the date to her phone. I guess that when she got home from school on his birthday she told her mom that she needed to get him something but didn't know what. She and her friends went to store and bought some things for him. She got him 5 really awesome looking matchbox cars ( lucky for us he didn't have them) and some big bags of candy. It was such a sweet gift. I still can't believe that she brought over a present. It was so nice of her.

Jacob had a wonderful birthday this year. Thank you all for thinking of him and for all those that called on his birthday. Thank you especially Dad for sending the e-card and calling all the way from Greece. You all make birthdays so memorable for my kids. Thank you all.
