Happy 9th Birthday, Jared!!!

Nine years ago today, our baby boy was born! Happy Birthday, Jared!

1. Jared has a sweet heart and is very caring. He is good at sharing and thinking of others. He is a great big brother to Lauren and will make someone a wonderful husband one day!

2. Jared is obsessed with sports! His memory is amazing when it comes to stats, scores, players, teams, or anything related to sports. His favorite sport is football. He would play Madden '08 on the PS2 24/7 if we let him. He can remember the score of games we attended years ago!

3. Jared is a great student! He loves school and always wants to do well. He has really gotten into Accelerated Reader this year. So far he has almost 200 points. He has really learned to love reading! He's such a smart kid!

4. Jared has never met a stranger! From the time he was able to walk and talk, he would go up to anyone and say, "Hi. Do you want to be my friend?", and off they would go to play together. He is not super outgoing, but not afraid of people or shy, either.

5. Jared is into video games, sports, and Legos (especially Indiana Jones and Star Wars). Not much else interests him as far as activities these days. I guess he's growing up!

6. Jared likes to help and learn new things from Mom and Dad. He asks lots of questions!! Especially "Why?"!

7. Jared is a cub scout and enjoys camping and other "scouting activities" with his dad.

8. Jared might make a good lawyer one day...he is very good at arguing and does it often! He is always trying to get his way using any angle he can.

9. Jared loves Chinese food, Mexican food, and BBQ, yet every day he insists on bringing his lunch from home and either has a peanut butter or ham and mustard sandwich.

Love you, Jared!
