Say Hello to the Birthday Boy!

Yes, that's right folks. Our little Jakey is 27 years old today, May 13th, 2008. Wow, 27- that's gettin up there! But he's still a youngen, and a dashing one at that. I thought I'd just let you all know that he would LOVE your birthday wishes and cheers.

By the way, these are just a few pictures of our weekend of FUN. Friday night was spent at the Jazz game pictured above with the KFAN booth and giant inflatable basketball game and exotic sports cars. But the BEST part, besides the Jazz winning, was that David Archuleta was there! We weren't as lucky as Ike to get a closeup shot of him, but thanks to the jumbo tron, I got a shot of him patrioticly singing the National Anthem. We salute you, Archie.

Little Max makes an adorable blue-eyed beauty! He got to wear that pink hat at the family bbq to keep him from burning, and it's a good thing he did cuz my arms got burned in just the hour that I was sittin in that lawn chair. We had a great time with the Yospe's at Abe and Cathi's house, eating all kinds of yummy summery foods and enjoying the warm sun! Which didn't last.
Later that night Jake had to work the electronic signs at the Real Salt Lake soccer game, so I went to watch with my sister Britt and her fam of boys. Can you tell that Bryan ate almost half a pack of sour Skittles? He was a little hyper by the end of the night, and really excited that they won since his daddy's from the home of the Real Madrid and they're huge soccer fans. I personally know nothing about soccer and have played it maybe once back in 2nd grade P.E.
And here's the birthday boy, adding a sweet finishing touch to the weekend with a Mother's Day gift to me. He went out and bought a bunch of flowers, flower boxes, soil and a watering can so that we could have our very own balcony garden! He's way better at maintaining plants than I am, so I know he'll take good care of them and help me learn the tricks of the trade along the way.

So Mother's Day was great, even for me who's just a little future mother (in the far distant future) and hopefully you all had a great weekend too! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAKE!!
