Jake is 5!

On February 23 our Jake turned 5!  I can't believe it, he is so big!  He has started taking karate three times a week.  It's a little hard for him but I think he is getting the hang of it.  He is also taking swimming lessons at the YMCA.  I bet by the summer he is going to be swimming like a fish!  As if that wasn't enough t-ball started last Saturday.  Brian said he was crushing the ball.  Who knows where he gets that?

He is finishing up his final year of preschool in the Panda class.  Jake learned to read this year.  It's crazy the words he knows.  Brian and I were playing Monopoly Jr with him and he got a chance card.  He read the entire thing including the word "otherwise."  He got a book for his birthday and I offered to read it to him.  He said "Na, I already read it."  He is a smart cookie!

On his birthday we were still a week away from his party so we surprised Jake and Julianna with a trip to the circus.  They had lots of fun. There were lions, tigers, elephants and clowns.  Jake liked the motorcycles in the iron ball the best.  Not sure what Julianna like the best, probably the snow-cone and popcorn.  Such a fun day!
