- Jacob has a great smile - he lights up your face when you're down with his contagious smile.
- Jacob is very talented - he plays the flute, cello and piano. His orchestra teacher wants him to become a cellist.... he is torn between choosing cello or flute to continue with next year.

- Jacob is a dedicated and loyal friend. He sticks with those he loves in all times of need - even with those he fights with on occasion.........
- Jacob is very spiritual. He is strong and passionate about the Gospel and his beliefs. He has been known to take scriptures to school and do missionary work........
- Jacob loves taking care of the garden! He is our delegated 'waterer' - he does this twice a day without fail...... hopefully the summer heat won't quench his desire.
- Jacob has an amazing ability to figure things out - he was putting puzzles back together when he was only 2!

- Jacob hopes to invent something one day that has not yet been invented......and make lots of money..........(yes he is a go-getter)
Jacob was a concerned boy - even from the beginning...
Jacob making his angry face - he still does this but doesn't look so cute...

He was always the cheesy one in the family.....
He loves to pose with his 'cheesey' smile.
Isn't he cute and bashful? Cute - yes - bashful - NO!
Jacob was always a focused taekwondo competitor - he got all the way to red belt.

Jaocb has a great physique - totally muscular. Check out those pecs!!
Jacob is like his uncle in so many ways - I feel like I'm being taken back to my childhood most of the time.

He will always be there for me - this was in Havasupai, Grand Canyon in 2006.

Here he is as the future missionary.

Attempting to beat Nephi's attempt at touching the top, before jumping in.

Jacob is such a joy!
