I know there a lot of pics, but they tell the story so much better than I do. Hopefully you can get a glimpse of the relationship Wes and Jaks have. We have been so blessed to have Wes home the last few months, and because of it, Wes and Jaks have pretty much been inseparable. Jaks loves his dad! I'm so glad I had my camera and that my Heavenly Father blessed me with a chance to capture the love and bond these two have!
We couldn't find any grass to have our picnic on (something I didn't know about until we moved here... the grass in AZ is nonexistent in the winter...not cool!) So we settled on having our picnic under a canopy.... I made Wes his favorite chicken salad...
However our lunch ended quickly. Jaks apparently knew exactly where he was, cause he took Wes hands and headed straight to his favorite place... the swings. And I think you can tell how that went! :)
We then headed to the slide.. this is Jaks favorite slide. And yes... he goes down by himself. I think some of the parents think we are crazy when we let him slide down by himself... cause it's no short slide... but he's never scared. He marches himself right up to the slide, sits down, and off he goes. :)
We then had to go exploring and eat, chew, climb and grab everything that was in site.
And last but not least... I saved my favorites for last. It amazes me when I watch Jaks with Wes.... As long as Wes is by his side.... Jaks believes he is invincible! He has no fear and feels as though he can do anything! I also watch the same little boy hesitate with timidness and fear whenever he is left to do something by himself.... It's amazing. He already knows his dad is Superman! Which is funny, cause I too feel invincible with Wes by my side. And for that... I can't thank him enough. I love you Wes! Thanks for the amazing husband and father you are. Jaks and I are the luckiest people ever!
Happy Birthday!
