#10 - Jake aka Kellen Moore

My list of gratitudes are in no particular order of course, but today I'm grateful for my little Jake.  When Jake was born he was so sweet and calm in the hospital that a couple of the nurses joked with me and told me it would never last.  I should go find those nurses and introduce them to my sweet 3-year-old Jake.  He is such a blessing in our family.  He is often a calm between two storms.

He is currently obsessed with Boise State and Kellen Moore.  Within minutes of waking up in the morning, he is wearing his "Boise States".  He reluctantly changes into normal clothes to go to school, but promptly puts them back on when he gets home.  The other day he came swaggering into the kitchen and told me, "Mom, today you don't have to call me Kellen Moore.  You can just call me Kellen if you want to."  He's a crack up. 

Jake aka Kellen

Jake is a very sweet older brother and a very patient younger brother!

This is one of his favorite things.  His best friend "Jet".  If he could, he would ride his bike from sun up to sun down.  He's been riding a bike since he was barely 2-years-old.

 Although I'm confident that Jake loves me (he says he wants to marry me), he chooses Patrick over me whenever possible.  That's a little heartbreaking for this mom who wants to be the one to console when he's hurt, tired, or sick, but I'm also very grateful that Jake has such a wonderful dad!

What a handsome little stud!
