At preschool they encourage kiddos that have summer birthdays to celebrate a "half" birthday. Jake's would have been over Christmas so we had his 4 year and 9 month birthday on 3/23/09. You are looking at him holding a cupcake with homemade frosting. It was very delicious but super fattening (unfortunately). 
Over spring break my Aunt Leslie and her friend took them to the Nature Center in Wichita. Jake has really liked snakes since we caught one last year. Somehow, he talked his Aunt Leslie into buying this shirt for him. He LOVES the back because it has all the different markings of each snake on the front.
Jake also brought candy to share with everyone. He had a lot of "special orders" for me when buying and making treats. "Mom, Neva doesn't like frosting so don't put any frosting on her cupcake". Mom, so and so likes bottled water so we need to bring that for her instead of Capri Sun, etc. He is very thoughtful but I guess he hasn't figured out his mom is still learning how to be "Susie Homemaker" and I don't do "special orders!" :)

Jake, looks like you had a great birthday at school, thanks to your mom. Glad you are enjoying your shirt, and looks like you will be able to enjoy it for awhile since it is a little large. You can learn which ones are the bad snakes and which ones are not so bad like the black snake. Love you, Aunt Leslie
