Happy Birthday Jake

Jake & Ava at Chipotle

Today is our nephew Jake's 18th birthday! (18!!!) Jake is the coolest guy - kind of smart too. Ava loves her "tall cousin Jake" - he lets her play Wii and PS3 with him in his room, or he pushes her around on his long board. Dillon has always loved Jake - when Dillon was a tiny baby he had a total fascination with him and would light up whenever Jake walked in the room, and then just stare and smile at him.
Jake is our reference book - we don't use google, or a dictionary or wikopedia - we just ask Jake. Science, history, math, sports, current events - you name it, he knows it! Jake is so fun to play games with- he is only slightly competitive, he likes to do well at whatever he does. I love going to his house and seeing 6'3"+ Jake sit down at the piano and play the most beautiful songs! He has learned some of Bella's Lullaby (from Twilight) to play for me. He cracks the wittiest jokes and adds such insight to our conversations. He is the sweetest guy and we love him!

Happy Birthday Jake!
