Our Baby Is Turing Seven!!!! Yikes!

It all started Friday morning when Jake shared a special snack with his friends at school and came home with hand drawn cards by each of his classmates. Next we picked up Jake's birthday cake from our friend Amber Ferrier who took Jake's space theme to incredible heights!

I think he likes it, what do you think?

That evening we invited our cousins over for a little pinata fun and lots of great play.

Jake gave it his all.

Connor had a case of the giggles while Jake was making wishes.

Our sweet, sweet SEVEN year old!

Macy (3) made several cards & pictures for Jake

and spent time to share with him all her hard work and well wishes.

No matter where we are ...it always comes down to this:

Saturday morning, marked Jake's real birthday. He had breakfast in bed...

Followed by a session at The Painted Pot in downtown Rochester.

Guess what Connor chose to paint??

And Paigey...

And Jakey...

Next we met up with Grammy & Papa at...

Jake received more Lego's from Grammy & Papa (huge hit!)

Paigey was in a really silly mood...it all started with band-aids

on every little mark she could find on her body...

A little goofy girl.

Hugs for Papa...

Stories for Grammy...

Jake's birthday VOLCANO.

(He's been waiting all year for this!)

We saved the top of the cake to eat on Jake's real birthday.

The rocket and moon were made with rice krispie treats!!

Jake taking a call from his cousin Andrew.

(It made his day!)

Sadly Jake had an attack on the evening of his birthday and he fell asleep without his especially requested dinner and movie time. So we ended up continuing the celebration Sunday evening with a Pizza Picnic in Mommy & Daddy's room and Family Movie Night watching, what else to close this birthday theme? Space Buddies!!
