Price Family Adventures: Jake's 14th Birthday

April 5th was Jacob's 14th Birthday. He enjoyed a weekend long celebration. It started off on Friday the 1st with some friends, pizza and Xbox. Jake wanted to go surfing for his birthday because normally it is sunny in April or for the most part, so Saturday we drove down to Oceanside, Jake and a friend rented surfboards, but because of the extreme cold and wind, they were in the water for about 20 minutes. Sunday was time to celebrate with family so we went over Grandma Bobbi's house, she made Jake's favorite, meat and potatoes! It's always a great time when the Price's and the Brady's get together! ;) We got Jake a new catcher's glove and everyone else gave him money for his Ipod Touch he has been wanting for a couple of years now. He almost has enough to get it! Just a couple more lawn mowings!

Finally Tuesday came (the 5th, his real Birth Day), Jake woke up to me singing happy birthday bright and early in the morning before school! I love being a mom, oh the things you get to do! ;) Jake had a baseball game that night, which we won by the skin of our teeth. Grandma Debbie came down to watch with us and after the game we all went to Bob's Pizza with the team.

It is amazing to me how fast life goes by, just when we think our kids are never going to walk or talk or do things on their own, we turn around and they have grown into young men or women. Jeff and I have prayed and hoped that Jake grow to be a young man of honor and integrity who loves his Savior far above anything this world could offer him. God has been so faithful in his life to always show him a better way. And we continue to pray for God's arms of love and discipline to hold him right where he needs to be. "The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands." ~Psalm 138:8

We are so proud of the man God is growing Jacob to be! Thank you Lord for the gift of our son!
