Lessons Learned On the Farm


• Aug. 5, 2008 - A Dozen Reasons to Celebrate!


Well, we've had another birthday at the Carter household.
Jake is 12 now and I thought I'd share 12 things that I especially love about him!
  1. He has a great sense of humor and loves to make people laugh.
  2. He cares about others and loves to help them.
  3. He can have just as much fun with an 80 year old or a baby as he does with  kids his age.
  4. He signs I love you when one of us is leaving.
  5. He shares my love of animals.
  6. He takes an interest in what his brothers do.
  7. He enjoys teaching his younger brother and has great late-night conversations with him.
  8. He knows what it means to be a gentleman and to hold the door, lift heavy things, and how to care for and protect a woman like his daddy.
  9. He has a tender heart and is willing to work on things when he's made a mistake.
  10. He is very forgiving and doesn't hold a grudge.
  11. He's understanding when things don't go as planned and is appreciative of what others do.
  12. He loves deeply, lives life to the fullest, and keeps music in our house!
We love you Jake. Thanks for being our Jaker, Jaker, Mover, Shaker!

I'm glad he had a wonderful birthday! I have learned allot from him. Namely, to live life to it's fullest, and to love one another as your selves. I am very thankful that he has parents that teach him to love and respect young ladies, and others as well. :) And for that, and many other reasons I respect him greatly! And his parents!

Posted by Allison24
Happy Birthday Jake! I have learned from Jake that you don't have to be anyone but yourself and not to judge a book by it's cover because it might just be the best book you have ever read!
So tell him that I said Happy Birthday a week late! ~Allison
