He did a skills event and a program with music. He earned 2 medals, one for 2nd place for his skills (he actually fell during his first spin, but nailed his second one). He won his overall division, receiving a 1st place for his program! :) He was sooooooo happy last night and I was very proud of him.&lt;br /&gt;Here is his program that won him 1st place. The quality isn't all that great, as I was filming from the bleachers and through the hockey net, but you get the idea. He had required foot elements (swizzles, slaloms, glides...etc), he had a really great time and was probably the only one competing who wasn't nervous. He just went out there and gave it his all.

Not to mention being an awesome big bro to his baby brother! ;)&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the pics...more Lego creations to come!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8220284487918262178-3529488389074572311?l=jaredtrost.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/feeds/3529488389074572311/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2011/01/brick-master.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/3529488389074572311'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/3529488389074572311'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2011/01/brick-master.html' title='BRICK MASTER!'/><author><name>Jaime's World</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02164450421168557829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/SojXHisfTXI/AAAAAAAAH_o/J6MLJ4NNsvA/S220/August+2009+215+Medium+Web+view.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TTUK0jLIYaI/AAAAAAAAPNM/oRJjtP_zZFY/s72-c/January%2B2011%2B236.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220284487918262178.post-5839223965744526352</id><published>2010-08-10T19:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-10T19:36:54.414-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Lego Pics Shot by Jared, himself!</title><content type='html'>Jared is so creative, always building new things with his Legos, here is what he created today!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TGILZ7H2c0I/AAAAAAAAOdE/0D-0iHMfr74/s1600/August+2010+061.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TGILZ7H2c0I/AAAAAAAAOdE/0D-0iHMfr74/s320/August+2010+061.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503974234595423042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TGILZaLmv2I/AAAAAAAAOc8/SGo0hb9KS3U/s1600/August+2010+062.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TGILZaLmv2I/AAAAAAAAOc8/SGo0hb9KS3U/s320/August+2010+062.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503974225752801122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TGILZPd8ocI/AAAAAAAAOc0/eL-g6YCwkB4/s1600/August+2010+066.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TGILZPd8ocI/AAAAAAAAOc0/eL-g6YCwkB4/s320/August+2010+066.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503974222876942786" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TGILYrwjcpI/AAAAAAAAOcs/pqpZKQUnZ_0/s1600/August+2010+075.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 198px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TGILYrwjcpI/AAAAAAAAOcs/pqpZKQUnZ_0/s320/August+2010+075.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503974213291307666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TGILXryf-YI/AAAAAAAAOck/rkXZQ0UXmmA/s1600/August+2010+060.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TGILXryf-YI/AAAAAAAAOck/rkXZQ0UXmmA/s320/August+2010+060.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503974196119599490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't post much on Jared, but he's doing well. He's been really busy this summer with swim lessons, tennis camp, cooking camps and baseball. He's all done with his camps now and he's just about ready for school...thanks to Grammy for getting him lots of new clothes, a book bag and most of his school supplies! Today, we got his shoes, so we're just waiting to find out who his teacher will be. He's going to be a 2nd grader...I can't believe it, he's getting so big! :) He's way too smart for his own good...and I can't forget to mention what an awesome brother he is! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, those are the pics he wanted posted...he wanted his "Titi" to see them, we told him to take pics because the Lego creations wouldn't last until she comes back to Cleveland next month!

He actually got a remote control air plane from his friend and his remote control helicopter from his grandparents. Tonight, Tom took Jared to the park to fly his plane (Jared &amp;amp; I bought Tom a remote control plane a few years ago) and have Jared fly his new plane and helicopter, too. From what I hear, each of them had some really good runs!&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow starts another active week for Jared. He has swim lessons all week, Tennis Camp (thanks for the new racquet, Titi), Vacation Bible School and IF we can fit it in, Baseball! Jared's really enjoying his summer so far, we are, too! Can't wait until Jaime's a little more stable and old enough to be out and about a little more. (He's still having feeding issues and isn't always the most pleasant to be taking places!)&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, enjoy the photos and HAPPY SUMMER!!!!! :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8220284487918262178-6428658965111851632?l=jaredtrost.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/feeds/6428658965111851632/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-toys.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/6428658965111851632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/6428658965111851632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-toys.html' title='New Toys!'/><author><name>Jaime's World</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02164450421168557829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/SojXHisfTXI/AAAAAAAAH_o/J6MLJ4NNsvA/S220/August+2009+215+Medium+Web+view.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TB7GKlKY3dI/AAAAAAAANiI/QoU4cO14wIk/s72-c/June+2010+358.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220284487918262178.post-8282305781209378405</id><published>2010-06-15T21:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-15T21:12:51.872-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jared's 7th Birthday</title><content type='html'>Here is a HUGE slide show of Jared's 7th birthday. We started our celebration on Sunday, the day before his birthday with lunch at Quaker Steak &amp;amp; Lube with the fam. Then we met up with Jared's friends and our neighbors for a "kid" party. The kids played velcro ball, on the swing set,  in the sand box, chalked, bowling, and bubble fun. After the kids left, we got pizza for the fam.&lt;br /&gt;On Monday, Jared's "real" birthday, he went to swim lessons in the morning and dinner with Grammy &amp;amp; Poppy. He even got to go to the park with Poppy for a golf lesson (Jared got a driver for his birthday.)&lt;br /&gt;Thank you to everyone who sent cards, presents, texts, emails and overall birthday wishes for Jared. He said that he LOVES being 7 and that it was his best birthday ever! :)&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the slide show-click on a picture to go directly to the photo album! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;captions=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fpjtrost%2Falbumid%2F5483211075306868241%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8220284487918262178-8282305781209378405?l=jaredtrost.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/feeds/8282305781209378405/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2010/06/jareds-7th-birthday.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/8282305781209378405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/8282305781209378405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2010/06/jareds-7th-birthday.html' title='Jared&apos;s 7th Birthday'/><author><name>Jaime's World</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02164450421168557829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/SojXHisfTXI/AAAAAAAAH_o/J6MLJ4NNsvA/S220/August+2009+215+Medium+Web+view.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220284487918262178.post-1536136725876660227</id><published>2010-06-04T20:56:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-04T21:10:03.369-07:00</updated><title type='text'>School's Out for Summer!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Here are pictures we took today during Jared's end-of-the-year picnic!

The irony about Jared's birthday celebration is that I wasn't going to be able to make it due to Jaime's doctor appointment. Turns out, Jared's eye (from his eye injury last week) started to swell and get gunky at school this morning. The nurse called, I went up to check it and put more drops in it. Since I was going up there, I brought the kids' treats early (Tom was going to bring them later in the day). When Jared went back to the class, his teacher said that the kids wanted their morning snack, so I asked if I could just give them their treats, she agreed. So, I went to the car to get them (ice cream cups and treat bags), when I came back, I found Jared with a birthday crown and bear. All of the kids sang to him and they all ate ice cream. It was very sweet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TAhxcU1bEhI/AAAAAAAANBM/5RQAA48uET8/s1600/June+2010+087.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 317px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TAhxcU1bEhI/AAAAAAAANBM/5RQAA48uET8/s320/June+2010+087.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478753678139265554" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow, Jared will be having an all day picnic at the park, the last time he will be a 1st grader and in his current class! Of course, getting back to that eye of his....Jared will be going to the pediatrician first to check it out, she'll probably change his eye drops! Ah, what would life be like without a weekly visit to the pediatrician's office? ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look for pics from the picnic tomorrow night! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until then.....good night!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8220284487918262178-5757782394146544636?l=jaredtrost.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/feeds/5757782394146544636/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2010/06/its-official.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/5757782394146544636'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/5757782394146544636'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2010/06/its-official.html' title='It&apos;s Official....'/><author><name>Jaime's World</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02164450421168557829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/SojXHisfTXI/AAAAAAAAH_o/J6MLJ4NNsvA/S220/August+2009+215+Medium+Web+view.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/TAhxcU1bEhI/AAAAAAAANBM/5RQAA48uET8/s72-c/June+2010+087.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220284487918262178.post-1291284943463955778</id><published>2010-06-01T15:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-01T15:50:57.399-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Field Day, 2010</title><content type='html'>Here's a slide show from Jared's 1st Field Day at his elementary school.

Today, he and the entire first grade class at Wickliffe Elementary School went the Lake Farm Parks. Jared said it was "GREAT!" He got to milk a cow...see a sheep pee, what can I say, he's a boy and thought it was cool. He got to pet lots of animals and he learned all about bees. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coincidentally, we found out that the bees that are swarming around and living in my neighbor's roof, do indeed sting. Well, at least the females do. We have to ask them to try and get rid of them, it's VERY hard to play in our own backyard, as the bees keep swarming around into our yard. Today, we had to play in the front yard after Jared got home from school...I don't like that because we're so close to the street and the cars fly down our street, it's just not safe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, back to Jared...he got a new plane today. It can go on land or water. The propellers really spin, too. He loves it and took a photo of it...here it is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/S9uh0wvF7sI/AAAAAAAAMdA/7U4u71vGiFk/s1600/April+2010+253.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/S9uh0wvF7sI/AAAAAAAAMdA/7U4u71vGiFk/s320/April+2010+253.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466140500551921346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here are some other pics of him playing with his plane and chalking outside.

He's still ice skating, taking swim lessons and recently, we've added cooking classes (at the YMCA, of course.) He's super cute, wanting to make what he made in class for us. He's also been trying to help us more in the kitchen. He likes it and is learning how to be safe in the kitchen, so why not?!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He, like Jaime, has had the pleasure of playing outside in the warm temps! He can't WAIT for SUMMER! (Me, either!) Today, it was a cool, rainy day, but it was also his school carnival, so we had a fun "inside" day. We went to the carnival, he won lots of prizes, we had lunch there ($3 for main food item, cookie, chips, and pop, can't beat that!) Then, we had some popcorn ($.25) and went off to Jared's ice skating lesson! Now, his teacher is VERY strict and trying to teach Jared to slow down, he's so fast! Anyway, she was trying to teach him how to go slow backwards...and, well...see for yourself, here's a video...Tom and I were dying! LOL! Poor kid just wants to zoom around that rink, spinning, going backwards, but no....his teacher won't have it!

I have some of him in his cooking class, as well as cooking at home. Tomorrow we are going to bake homemade "Shamrock pretzels," he learned how to make them in class on Friday. Can't wait! We were going to bake them today, but we went to the library, checked out Toy Story 2, and got wrapped up in that! But, BEFORE that, we noticed that Jerry's Dari Pride's opening day was today! Soooo, we opted for ice cream with "crunch coat" instead of pretzels tonight! (We ALWAYS go on opening and closing day!) Going there almost makes Spring official! :) We "heart" Jerry's Dari Pride!

We got the back end of the Winter Storm that hit the Northeast Coast. It swirled around and came back to us off of Lake Erie. We were expected to get up to 10 inches of snow...at one point they even canceled the Winter storm warning...as you'll see from the pictures, we got WAY MORE than 10 inches of snow. Not to mention that as I'm typing it's still a blizzard out there! Crazy!&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I had to keep Jared occupied somehow since school and the YMCA were closed. We had Cousin Connor sleep over on Friday night. The boys had a lot of fun together. By mid afternoon and after Connor left, Jared "bored" again. I didn't really want him to play outside, mostly because of the windchill, so I told him we could bring some snow inside. He thought that was the coolest thing. The last time I did that he was about 3. Once the snow melted, he and I made edible play-dough to play with. He thought it was super fun and liked eating it, too! He wanted more, but we needed more ingredients. That prompted a quick trip to the grocery store! This is the first time I've been to Giant Eagle in literally MONTHS! Jared went to the Eagle's Nest while I shopped. I found a textured ball for Jaime when I was there, so once we were home, the boys had a fun time playing with it. It was a nice couple of days in-spite of the weather!&lt;br /&gt;Hope everyone is safe and warm! Enjoy Jared's slide show and don't forget to check out "Jaime's World" to see what he's been up to!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="288" height="192" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;captions=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fpjtrost%2Falbumid%2F5443114902340150513%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8220284487918262178-4176070068770247640?l=jaredtrost.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/feeds/4176070068770247640/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2010/02/snow-day.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/4176070068770247640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/4176070068770247640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2010/02/snow-day.html' title='SNOW DAY!'/><author><name>Jaime's World</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02164450421168557829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/SojXHisfTXI/AAAAAAAAH_o/J6MLJ4NNsvA/S220/August+2009+215+Medium+Web+view.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220284487918262178.post-6471828253662041826</id><published>2010-02-17T16:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-17T17:03:02.184-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ice Skating!!!!</title><content type='html'>Jared and I have ice skated twice already this week.

(If you've seen Jaime's World or Facebook, you've seen the photos of them playing). Well, Thursday, just before dinner, Jared was being silly and ran right into the corner of the hallway wall. He got a big goose egg and an abrasion on the side of his head. This warranted a quick trip to Hillcrest ER. Thankfully, the dr. on was a friend of mine! Mike asked me if Jared received his IV Factor (Yep, that was the second thing I did after wrapping an ice pack around his head). He felt that Jared should be OK and told us the normal concussion signs to look for. Orella, the nurse, took Jared to the "snack room" filled his arms with snacks and off we went. Jared had a bit of a rough day on Friday at school...his head was hurting "so bad" that I had to go up to the school with Tylenol. (Really he wanted to come home, but I wouldn't let him...mean Mommy! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Jared and his ice pack! He actually thought this was hysterical because he didn't have to sit and hold ice on it...he just posed for the photo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/S25C8t3Fv6I/AAAAAAAAK_E/2Oc4bwoDWWo/s1600-h/February+2010+036.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/S25C8t3Fv6I/AAAAAAAAK_E/2Oc4bwoDWWo/s320/February+2010+036.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435355411153010594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, since he had a crazy week, I thought it would be fun for Jared to have his very first sleepover! My nephew, Connor slept over last night! The boys had sooooo much fun! They played the Wii, Legos and even got to play out in the snow that fell over night! They were sooooo good! It was really great seeing the boys get along...it was even funnier to listen to them play Legos. Apparently, each of them made space ships and had animal farms (with a lizard, badger and dinosaur), then they attended a party at Princess Leia's ship. Too funny! They were surprising in bed and asleep by 10:15 P.M. Can't wait to do it again...I think it may just turn into a Friday night thing! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Connor playing Wii.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/S25Dyr2_SuI/AAAAAAAALAs/sokgyQ91cSc/s1600-h/February+2010+052.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The boy hates to color, yet he can draw a picture like this...a helicopter with it's rotors and tail fin! I think it's rather impressive (and harmless). Someday we'll be sad when we paint over it!

Coincidentally, I found out that they are offering lessons again, with it being only 6 minutes away and cheaper than Mentor, he will start having lessons there next week! :) It was really fun...he fell about 6 times, I didn't fall at all, but I sure walked away with some nasty bruises on my ankles from the skates hitting me in a funny place! It's always fun to skate, Jared's much better than I am! He was showing off skating on one foot and doing a jumping spin! Not to mention skating backwards, I'm so jealous! Here are a few pictures that I took on the ice, I had more, but for some reason my camera deleted them...it's still kind of acting funny and the pictures are looking a bit grainy from it's jump into Titi's coffee on Christmas Eve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/S0AGJq2DTRI/AAAAAAAAKwM/H0m6B1aZXQA/s1600-h/January+2010+003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/S0AGJq2DTRI/AAAAAAAAKwM/H0m6B1aZXQA/s320/January+2010+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422340714543664402" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/S0AGJVzIibI/AAAAAAAAKwE/nL-IWGStZGw/s1600-h/January+2010+004.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/S0AGJVzIibI/AAAAAAAAKwE/nL-IWGStZGw/s320/January+2010+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422340708894280114" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After ice skating, we went bowling with Michael, Paula, Chloe and Connor.

He will start as a "guppy" in January! We are so proud of Jared. Those swimming lessons are a lot of hard work for Jared, especially since his back and shoulder muscles aren't strong. Swimming is a GREAT activity for Jared as it serves a dual purpose...it strengthens his back and shoulders and it's safe, "hemophilia approved" exercise!&lt;br /&gt;Jaime's therapist looked at Jared's back, and she said for him not having the connective muscle to his scapulas, she felt that he has compensated rather well. She couldn't believe that he can swim the way he does. Of course, any time she's here when Jared comes home, she grabs him and makes him do stuff for her! HA! Can't wait for her to come when he's on break...PT times 2!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jared's looking forward to Santa's arrival, Christmas can't come soon enough for him! I'm excited that both Tom and Jared will be home. Jared and I can do things together. I will be able to take Jared ice skating again! I missed doing it last year. Colleen and I took the kids ice skating last year, but being pregnant I was side lined. Not this year, though. I'm going to take Jared to Wade Oval to skate on "real" ice outside! Photos to come for sure.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm off to bed!&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the rest of your week!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8220284487918262178-9223021243597903489?l=jaredtrost.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/feeds/9223021243597903489/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2009/12/guppy.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/9223021243597903489'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/9223021243597903489'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2009/12/guppy.html' title='Guppy!!!!'/><author><name>Jaime's World</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02164450421168557829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/SojXHisfTXI/AAAAAAAAH_o/J6MLJ4NNsvA/S220/August+2009+215+Medium+Web+view.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/Symlfa8epcI/AAAAAAAAKDg/XUgVPIjAiso/s72-c/December+2009+195+Standard+e-mail+view.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220284487918262178.post-6363715253529674460</id><published>2009-12-02T19:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-02T19:35:49.901-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Beary Merry Holiday!</title><content type='html'>As I mentioned on Jaime's World, Jared had his very first elementary school Christmas concert tonight. It was so incredibly cute! The kids were all dressed in bear colors. Brown, White, black...etc. Jared was a black bear. All of the kids wore "bear ears." Mrs. Graves  (music teacher) did a wonderful job choreographing, teaching and rehearsing the kids. The kids not only had to sing, they had to "dance," too. Some of the children had "speaking" parts. They couldn't have been any cuter! :)&lt;br /&gt;We had sooooo much fun tonight! We were really impressed, one the songs they sang was "Panda-monium," it was rhythmically hard, but the kids did a beautiful job with it. OK, Tom and I were probably the only ones thinking of the music score, we can't help it, we're musicians. I think Tom really enjoyed watching someone else host a music concert for once! He starts his "concert season" next week. He's at 4 schools, each will have concerts in the evening and I believe during school time, too. CRAZY!&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of school concerts, Jared will get to perform during school tomorrow for the other students at Wickliffe Elementary. I think he really had fun! He was whipped  at the end of it (of course, he had his swimming lessons just before the concert) and really hot, too. We just "HAD" to take him to Dairy Queen for a slushy! HA!&lt;br /&gt;By 8:30 P.M. both boys were in bed! It was a nice night!&lt;br /&gt;Here are the pics we took. They aren't good at all because we were so incredibly far back and didn't want to run through the crowd just to snap a photo. We have to protect ourselves from germs as much as we can, too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Notice the bear ears on their heads?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/Sxcw5HVw7iI/AAAAAAAAJ0Y/juyLlQuPHVY/s1600-h/December+2009+006+Large+e-mail+view.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

He wanted to play outside, but I said "no." Instead, we played Legos and watched Disney ALL DAY!&lt;br /&gt;Here are some the fun things that we built. Jared built the helicopter, of course and I made the Christmas Tree and gray car and we both built the gate/weigh station! &lt;br /&gt;Fun times, back to school tomorrow for two days, then it's Thanksgiving break and Jared gets to see all four of his grandparents! :)&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy the pics!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8220284487918262178-5144041420689756613?l=jaredtrost.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/feeds/5144041420689756613/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2009/11/lego-helicopter.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/5144041420689756613'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8220284487918262178/posts/default/5144041420689756613'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaredtrost.blogspot.com/2009/11/lego-helicopter.html' title='Lego Helicopter'/><author><name>Jaime's World</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02164450421168557829</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/SojXHisfTXI/AAAAAAAAH_o/J6MLJ4NNsvA/S220/August+2009+215+Medium+Web+view.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/Swnni8ESfkI/AAAAAAAAJvI/Bp_NddTlf1c/s72-c/November+2009+470+Large+Web+view.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220284487918262178.post-1417207753773136414</id><published>2009-11-21T12:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-21T12:27:53.614-08:00</updated><title type='text'>My First Blog</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/SwhNFH9iZDI/AAAAAAAAJsw/0S5ciRvKOK0/s1600/Helicopterstorm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pBuOuMzc4Ug/SwhNFH9iZDI/AAAAAAAAJsw/0S5ciRvKOK0/s400/Helicopterstorm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406656103090119730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jared asked me to create a blog just about him, so here it is!
