Lego Pics Shot by Jared, himself!

Jared is so creative, always building new things with his Legos, here is what he created today!





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! :)

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! HA! Have a good night everyone!

New Toys!

If you read Jaime's blog, you'll know that we had a very busy weekend! Even though there was lots going on, we still didn't miss the opportunity to have some fun with Jared! Here are a few of his birthday presents that we played with this weekend!

See that yellow thing flying?

It's up near the left of the picture.

Thank you, Nana!

It's a remote control helicopter!

Off it goes again!

Jared LOVES his new toys! 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 & 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!
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!)
Anyway, enjoy the photos and HAPPY SUMMER!!!!! :)

Jared's 7th Birthday

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 & 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.
On Monday, Jared's "real" birthday, he went to swim lessons in the morning and dinner with Grammy & Poppy. He even got to go to the park with Poppy for a golf lesson (Jared got a driver for his birthday.)
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! :)
