Happy 7th birthday Jacob!


7 years ago today, I went through my first major surgery. The end result was an adorable, chubby bundle of joy that we named Jacob William. He was the answer to a prayer. We found out that I was pregnant with Jacob during the same month that Travis was to have been born. 
Our lives have never been the same since. Jacob is a very active, hyper, always talking, loveable boy who loves sports and sports and more sports. He is great at reading and remembering things.

Today, Jacob had pancakes and bacon for breakfast before school.



 I took football themed cupcakes to school for him to share with his class. 


Tonight, we will have his birthday dinner of PB&J sandwiches and we will just hang out at home. We are planning on having him a little get-together this weekend to celebrate with family. 
 I can't believe he is 7 already!
