Happy Birthday Jake!

It is hard to believe my oldest is 14 years old. Yes 14 years ago today,  Jacob Curtis was born weighing in at 9 pounds 5 ounces 20 1/2 inches long. He was born at 12:04 p.m. right here in good ol' Las Vegas, Nevada. WOW has the time flown by.   

Here he is at 1 1/2 years old. He was always a happy little guy, and always so fun to be around.

 
Here is Jake today, this morning he had his favorite breakfast before he left for school, norwegian pancakes and bacon. 

 
This evening we were able to celebrate his birthday with all the family, grandma and grandpa and the Morters. We went to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse, Jakes choice and came home for ice cream cake. It is always crazy with all the little kids running around but it would not be the same if we did not have family around us. 

The best part of the day was the gifts (of course). Jake was able to score a new phone, it is called the dash. He wanted something that would be easy for texting, because that is what kids do all the time these days. I think Gabe thought his present was the best though, he was so excited to give Jake his present. He got Jake a new Star Wars game for the WII. He was grinning from ear to ear when Jake opened it. 

I am so greatfull to have a son that I am so proud of. He is always willing to help others when in need. He always has a smile on his face. Always plays video games with his little brother and builds legos together. He is a talker, and can strike up a conversation with anyone old or young. Jake is very independent.
