It's great to be eight

Jared turned 8 today, he has the day off from school so it's a 4 day weekend. He had a nice birthday party, 8 kids came and they seemed to have fun. We played a couple of games, had some cake and ice cream. I tried my hand at making a double layer cake and it turned out well, it was certainly a learning experience and I know what I will do differently next time. It wasn't fancy by any means, but Jared loved it so that's all I care about.



8 things I love about Jared:

*I can get him to cuddle with me when we're watching a movie or sitting in church
*He is willing to try new foods (sometimes it takes some pep talks, but he has an open mind)
*He is a big helper when I need him
*His imagination is amazing, he can create a whole new world for David when they are playing
*He is so curious about the world and loves books
*I love his smile, I can just tell that he is a happy child
*He is so full of life! It can be overwhelming sometimes, but I appreciate his energy.
*He has a funny sense of humor
