One of the gifts that Jake got

Jakes cake.

Jake had his 8th birthday on the 17th. He wanted me to make a cake. He wanted monster trucks on it and then wanted it going up a dirt pile so it looked like it was going to jump over cars. Well, I tried. It didn't turn out as good as I hoped but he was happy. All he wanted for birthday was airplanes, monster trucks and maybe an ipod to listen to as he played with his other toys. Well, needless to say, he didn't get the ipod. LOL

Dan had his football banquet this week at Okaboji Grill. It was for all the parents and kids. We had a great time. I can't believe that football is already over. Dan will start hockey in the next few weeks. That should be fun, dangerous but fun.

Jake is taking Gus's Christian Black Belt. They got their uniforms tonight. (Well, most of it. His helmet and shoes are backordered) They are doing pretty good and he enjoys it. It is so fun to sit and watch them. It is Christian based and it really teaches the kids how to control anger and ask God for help.

Saturday will be the last day for soccer. We will miss it but yet, it will be nice to be able to sleep in for a least 1 Saturday before Hockey begins. :)
