Happy Birthday Jaker

Happy Birthday Jaker, if we were in Chicago, or if you were here, we'd give you a big ole hug like Gillespie:)
Jake and Jenny are quite a pair, rearing up a batch of red headed kids while blazing trails of cookies and scripture from Utah to Wyo to Chicago and on to California.
I love Jake's "Oh Boy, I'm gonna be in trouble" face in this picture. His sister has just given One of his three boys the ultimate gift for Christmas when it was Jake's job to ensure the kids got easy to pack and easy to share books.
I do believe if Jake got his wish he would just stay in school forever. He does have the scholarly look about him doesn't he:) You can give my mom credit for that. Jake was reading at 13 months. Believe it or not, but it's true. My Mom started doing "words" with him as a baby and before most kids are speaking, Jake was reading.
We love you Jake, and we want you to know that it's o.k. to be the oldest, the smartest and the favorite because that just lets us off the hook;)
