Jacob blowing out his birthday candles!!

Here is the video of Jacob trying to blow out his birthday cake candles. It is funny because it takes about 15 times before he gets them blown out. Enjoy!!

Happy Birthday Jacob!!

Jacob turned 4 years old on June 4! He has been so excited about his birthday for the longest time. For about 2 months now, every time he saw a toy or object that he wanted, he made sure to tell me to get it for him for his birthday. Of course, there were so many things that I couldn't keep track and neither could he.

He spent part of the day doing his favorite activity- mowing the lawn and "tweeding," that means using the weed eater to edge!! Then we headed to the party store so he could pick out some balloons. After lunch, he helped me decorate with streamers.

He chose to have pizza for dinner. And then we opened presents. He got some underwear, a few Transformers, 2 outside balls, a game called Zingo and a Hot Wheels racetrack thing! He was most excited by the racetrack. Then we let the kids do silly string! They really love that stuff, but what a pain to clean up.

Then we sang Happy Birthday and had cake. We got a little creative with his cake this year because of his diabetes. Cake with frosting is really bad for diabetics!! David found an idea where you bake the cake and then cut out the middle and put in blue Jello, sugar-free of course. Then you frost the rest of the cake with Cool Whip and decorate it like it is a swimming pool. I think it turned out pretty cute. Jacob had a hard time blowing out the candles though and it was really funny. I'll post the video of it later.
