We interrupt this Mexico Mission Documentary for an important news bulletin. On July 17, 2008, Jacob turned 4 years old.
My how he's grown! Four short years ago we could not have imagined what an incredible little boy he would become. The big birthday bash isn't until tomorrow evening, but today he spent his special day with Nana, Grandpa Smith and Grandma Smith. When he arrived this morning, hot blueberry bran muffins were waiting for him...one of his favorite treats at Nana's. After breakfast, we went outside and played baseball. He is able to hit the ball when pitched to him, and is a very fast runner! We were soon hot and sweaty, and he was ready to go for a swim. Nothing would do but that Grandpa and Grandma get in the pool as well. They obliged...what grandparents won't do 
for their grandkids! He had lots of fun swimming, shooting Grandpa with his noodle/pool thermometer gun and playing with a tiny frog he found. After lunch dishes were put away he couldn't wait another minute to go to the Aquarium. "Where is the Aquarium? Is it far, far away? They have toys there! Gwama, Gwampa, you wanna spen'a night wif me?"

After the Aquarium (and yes, he talked Nana into buying some sea creatures for him) we walked along the Riverwalk and stopped in for ice cream at the Marble Slab. He chose a cone dipped in sprinkles and vanilla ice cream with sprinkles mixed in. I got a cup of "cake and cookies"--birthday cake ice cream with chocolate chip cookie dough and oreo cookies mixed in. As soon as he saw the big chunks of cookies in mine, he decided we needed to trade. Yep, we traded...it IS his birthday after all.On the way home, we stopped at Miss Ann's and picked up Lauren. Jacob fell asleep and I 
carried him in the house and put him on my bed. He slept for two and a half hours--until his Mom arrived with pizza and cupcakes for supper. Presents from Grandma & Grandpa, Aunt Linda, Uncle Jeff and Papa & Nana were opened and he and Lauren entertained us the rest of the evening with their singing and dancing.
