Jaycee had her Horse Recital tonight. She did so good! This was her first year taking western riding lessons. A few weeks ago one of the horses spooked and scared Jaycee. For the last four lessons Jaycee fought and fought not to go. We continued to encourage her and told her not to let fear get the best of her. She was so brave and kept on riding! I was so proud of her, she did so good. She was so happy with herself she told us tonight..."I can't eat dinner, I am too proud of myself!" After it was all over she told us she could not wait until next year.

This weekend Jake had his Birthday Party! He was so excited! He has asked for over a year for a cell phone. What 6 year old needs to have a cell phone? He asked, asked, asked, and obsessed about a CELLPHONE! He told us for the last 6 months. "Mom you are gonna be HORRIFIED when I get my cell phone!" The last present he opened from Grandma was his long awaited Cell Phone ($30 Walmart 300 min. not bad huh?)! Grandma was the hit of the party. We thought Jake was going to quit breathing! Grandma and Mom had tears in our eyes...not sure why we were crying. It was just so cute how he reacted to getting his cell phone. WE WERE HORRIFIED! Happy Birthday Jake! I love you and hope you had a very Fun and Special Day!

Jake's Birthday is this Sunday. His Grandma "Grandma California" sent him this Mickey Mouse Watch. He has wanted a watch like "Grandma California" for quite sometime. He was so excited yesterday when he got home from school and there was a box with a card waiting for him to open. He was so excited he ripped open the box and said "It's just like Grandma California with the arms that move!" He woke up first thing this morning and asked me to put it on to wear to school. I had to take a picture to show Grandma California! Thanks Grandma California for the Watch!
