Last Saturday our little guy turned the big 7! We can't believe how time flies! It seems Jakob got to celebrate his birthday for 4 days. It all started Thursday with a visit from Grandma & Grandpa Heiselbetz to wish him a happy birthday and bring him a gift. Then Friday was taking dounts to school to share with his class. On the big day, he woke up to being sprayed with Silly String by his dad, then unfortunately had to wait to have birthday breakfast and open presents until mom got back from her run (am I mean?) Once mom was back, he insisted on opening presents right away-he got lots of fun things and a few surprises too! Then we fixed a yummy breakfast for him and it was time to get ready for his baseball game (they lost-but he had a good time and it was fun to watch him). Then we hurried home to give everyone a bath (I will not miss the orange/red baseball dirt) and then we had to make a pit stop at the mall to exchange his Heely's he got (they were too small), before we headed out to the ESPNZone for dinner and games. Jakob has been looking forward to going there since we saw the one at Downtown Disney back in February. It was a little crowded because of the NBA game that was on, but not too bad. For birthdays, they put a happy birthday wish up on their information screen that runs around the roof of the resturant, once Jakob saw his name go by wishing him a Happy 7th Birthday, he felt pretty special the rest of the night! After dinner we went upstairs and had a blast playing some fun games. After all the fun, we headed home for cake and icecream. Then on Sunday after Dad headed off to work, the kids and I took a drive over to Oma & Opa's to celebrate Jakob and Opa's birthday's. Jakob got another couple gifts and was sang to again and had some more cake. It was fun to celebrate this weekend with him and our families. We are so lucky to have him in our lives! Happy Birthday Bud!
