Happy 7th Birthday Jared!

Of course, Jared corrected me over the weekend, this is his 8th birthday, if you count the day he was born.

This is our family on the day Jared was sealed to us forever in the Mesa, AZ TEmple.



This is us in the airport, the day we brought Jared home.

Jared is in the 1st grade. He is learning to love to read and is currently reading a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book. He is a great swimmer and loves being in the water. His best friend is Max Burr, even though he only sees him once a year, at his birthday party. He loves to play video games, Bey Blades and Legos. He's really good at making people laugh and loves to act silly. Jared is a ball of energy and loves to dance, wiggle, and do karate (self taught after watching the movies Kung Fu Panda and Karate Kid).
5 years ago, Jared answered our prayers by becoming a member of our family. We wouldn't be complete without him. We're so blessed to have him in our lives.
