Cade's 8th birthday was on March 12. Because of the significance of the 8th birthday, he was picked up after school on that day by Grandma Cheryl and Grandpa Jay to head to Temple Square in Salt Lake. It is Jacobs tradition to take the 8 year old birthday child to see Temple Square before their baptism. Cade had a blast! He got to go with his cousin Drew (who turned 8 on Feb. 12) and they rode horses, got to go to the Draper Temple open house, Temple Square and lots of other fun stuff.
With all that said, we didn't get to celebrate with him until he got back home. For his birthday dinner he chose yellow death (mac & cheese to the rest of the world). After dinner we had his requested chocolate on chocolate cake. Cade had a good time trying to blow out the candles on his cake (see video below). And no knocks about my cake making abilities, eh?
His party is next Saturday, so he really hasn't gotten many presents yet. Ours is still in the garage, but he did get a card from Grandma Bonnie (thanks!) and new scriptures from Grandma Cindi, which he was really excited about!
My handsome nephew, Dallen
Our pre-teen, Payton, who pretty much always looks like this lately...at least Corbin is happy!
Cade & Delaney clearly enjoyed their cake!

I can't believe that Cade is 8! I also loved Payton's "pre-teen" look--it's all too familiar. And, by the way, your cake was a work of art compared to my attempts. I have the reputation of making the ugliest cakes (and have the pictures to prove it).
OH MY GOSH!?!?! I can't believe he's 8!!! Unbelievable...
Last time I saw Cade he was short and a bit chubby. Look at him now, my goodness!
