Yesterday was Jake's birthday. He turned ten. My Mom allows us to pick what we want for meals and dessert.

These are Jake's meals:

1) Breakfast-Doughnuts

2) Lunch-Pazole (A Mexican soup.)

3) Dinner-Ribs!!

4) Dessert-Tres Leches cake (means 3 milks)

Our cousin Brandon came over and spent the night and celebrated with us. We did presents. Oh, and Nana came over too.

Here's what my now, 10-year-old brother got for his birthday:

From my parents: Cow boy boots (he LOVES cow boy boots he wore out his old pair to where it had holes in them), A rip stick (awesome form of a scooter), the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua, X-men Origins, and Jonah gave him a top. (Haha) I think I'm missing some stuff..

From Nana: He got a couple of Justice leage movies, and..another movie.

From Brandon/Uncle Shaun and Auntie Mariah/Jeremiah/Tyler: A new snow jacket! His old one was getting too tight and too short on him.

We watched one of Jake's movies and stayed up talking til 3 in the morning. Brandon and I stayed up til 5 in the morning.

Oh and one of the things the birthday boy/girl gets to do is have NO CHORES. On their birthday OR SCHOOL!

All in all I think he had a good birthday!! He was surprised by all his gifts and plus he got some gift cards and money in the mail from our Cali relatives who weren't able to celebrate with us. (:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU--YESTERDAY MY TEN YEAR OLD BROTHER! YOUR MY FAVORITEST TEN YEAR OLD BROTHER EVER!!

(My only ten year old brother..and sibling at this point in life!)

Happy Birthday to Jake! He got some very cool presents it seems!

Best of all is having a cool older sister to watch out for you (I know; my sister is three years old and has always been one of my closest friends)

Take care Lissie, I hope that you and your dad are both fully recovered from your various ailments now!

Gotta go, the dog needs walking....

Kindest Regards,

Matt

Hey Mr. Matt!

Thanks tons for the comment! Haha Jake thought it was cool you wished him a happy birthday. (Well he didn't even know I had posted a birthday post for him, so he was even more surprised! Haha)

I didn't know you had a sister..(Or..maybe you've told me and I completely forgot..I seem to do that a lot. :(

Thanks again, friend!!

Quotes

C. S. Lewis:

1~"Mercy, detached from justice, becomes unmerciful."

2~"The trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed. "

3~"Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done..."

4~"All that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy. "

5~"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point."

Chesterton:

1~"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die. “He that will lose his life, the same shall save it,” is not a piece of mysticism for saints and heroes. It is a piece of everyday advice for sailors or mountaineers. It might be printed in an Alpine guide or a drill book. This paradox is the whole principle of courage; even of quite earthly or quite brutal courage. A man cut off by the sea may save his life if he will risk it on the precipice.

He can only get away from death by continually stepping within an inch of it. A soldier surrounded by enemies, if he is to cut his way out, needs to combine a strong desire for living with a strange carelessness about dying. He must not merely cling to life, for then he will be a coward, and will not escape. He must not merely wait for death, for then he will be a suicide, and will not escape. He must seek his life in a spirit of furious indifference to it; he must desire life like water and yet drink death like wine."

"What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but an absence of self-criticism."

"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried"

Charles Spurgeon:

1~"Thus there will be three effects of nearness to Jesus-humility, happiness, and holiness. May God give them to thee, Christian!"

The Avett Brothers (A Band):

1~"So you want to be in love like the movies
But in the movies they're not in love at all
And with a twinkle in their eyes
They're just saying their lines
So we can't be in love like the movies

Now in the movies they make it look so perfect
And in the background they're always playing the right song
And in the ending there's always a resolution
But real life is more than just two hours long

Well you can freeze frame any moment from a movie
Or run the whole damn thing backwards from reel to reel
But I don't see one single solitary light technician
Or one single camera in this moonlit field"
