Jared is ONE year older and keeps growing wiser!

Birthdays are such happy times!  My Mom has always made such a BIG deal about our special days. My Jared is very low maintenance when it comes to his birthday. It was fun to surprise him with his little celebration this year.

All the boys and I agree that there is absolutely nobody as great as Jared!  We wait for him all day with great anticipation...he never disappoints! The entire house feels different when he walks through the door.

His birthday was an exciting day for all of us.  

  We blew up balloons for what seemed like all afternoon.  Talmage had mastered tying a balloon, and Jake had not!  Jake was not going to be out done by his younger brother!  So, we had many frustrating moments as untied balloons shot around the room.  Jake finally got the hang of tying the balloons. Thank goodness! (Bigger fingers?)

Jared has wanted a  electric scooter for quite some time.  I found a great deal on a new scooter for him.  He was super excited.  Now if he can just get the back wheel to roll.

 

Our neighbor Fritz had a birthday this weekend too!  Haha!  Fritz takes a few guys in the neighborhood  "Over to the river for prime rib"  every year for his birthday! Laughlin is on the Colorado river.  People  water ski and wave run on the river.  Jared said they sat looking out at all the fun going on.  Looks exciting!  

Great isn't it?!  Old Fritzy is such a great guy!  He is from Poland and speaks 4 languages fluently!

That's my Jared for you. He is quite the party guy. Couldn't love him more!

Happy Birthday!
