Jake's Happy 12th Birthday

Jake had a fun birthday weekend. We were able to hang out with him for some of it.

We ate at the CPK then his parents surprised him by taking him to go get what he thought was going to be a video game(s). He had quite the entourage as we walked into the Apple store instead. He was like a celebrity. He was so happy!

The next day, we went to the first annual St. Petersburg Bowl to watch the USF. We won! It was Dylan and Isaac's first football game. The last college game for me was back at BYU. Everybody was so good. We had the best seats in the house. Close enough to be right there, but up enough to see over the coolers and guys on the bench. We were right on the 50 yard line too. It was hard getting Dylan to turn back to look at me for a picture although I think he still likes baseball better.

We took our own half time to go walk around. The boys LOVE Jake. Jake will soon be MY little babysitter. He let Isaac down some, but he likes holding him so much. The kids are crazy.
Isaac did get to run around. I only know b/c his knees had little scratches on them from him running and falling. The half time show was fun, so we stayed in our seats for that. We also liked watching the cheer leaders do back flips for each of our points. My brother would be jealous, not of watching the cheer leaders, but of them. He wants to do a back flip in place like that and has been practicing for a while. He'll get it. Maybe he should be a cheer leader. Too bad he doesn't read this, (JT). We left a little early since we were so far ahead in the game. I strapped Isaac to myself but Jake asked to hold him. Then he asked for the sling. It's a little big on him, but it worked. I think Jake's back must have been killing him by now. See the "Tropicana Field" in the background? The game was on the Rays' field. We felt right at home there.Happy Birthday Jake, we love you! Did you ever finnish your crossword birthday card we made you?
