Yes, Jacob is now 5. He had a great day, loving each and every one of the presents that he opened. Dad and Mum had heaps of fun playing with the new lego too. :D Jeremy and Isaac enjoyed it just as much - they helped open some presents and also helped to eat the edible ones! The cake was a big hit, made by Paul. Photos are below as promised...

Have you met Buzz?

We've had Buzz almost a year now and amazingly he seems to be thriving. The boys love playing with him but it doesn't happen all that often as they haven't gotten the hang of picking him up by themselves yet. We are also wary of them opening the cage by themselves as our 5 chooks seem to take an unhealthy interest in him. Jacob is great at feeding and looking after him though. We need to get him a friend, and would love to make him a 'proper' cage. Jacob wanted to call him Lightening McQueen when we got him, but Buzz is what stuck.

Jacob turns 5 in a few days. The boys have been looking through birthday cake books for the past week and have lined up all the cakes they want for all their birthdays - the list will probably last up until they are about 30!! After much consideration Jacob has requested a Race-Track cake and has picked out which matchbox cars he wants to put on it and where they'll go. We have secretly gone out and bought a V8 Supercar Matchbox Car to put on it - he has been fascinated by these for a while and will be so excited to get one. He was also asked what he wants to have for dinner on his birthday and has requested Tacos. I'll post pictures after the event!
