Jordan's 12th Birthday

Jordan turned 12 this year!  Here we are celebrating his birthday at his mom's house...he had a bunch of friends spend the night!

 Here he is opening his presents....almost all of them giftcards!  Ha!  I guess that's what happens when you're 12!  Look how cute Jaron is in the picture below watching his big bubba open the gifts.  :)
 He got a guitar!  He is learning to play like Cary, and he's so good!

 On his actual birthday we took him to dinner at Cantina Laredo, one of his favorites.  Here are some pictures from that night, starting out with a photo of the petit fours that he likes below.  YUM!!!






 He also got a new bike!
 Happy Birthday Bubba!!

School Begins

This year Jaron started his first year at a (primer) Kindergarten!  He has done so well and has loved his new class!  Elijah is in Mother's Day Out 2 days a week, and is loving school too.  Here they are on their first day of the year.





 Finally it's getting cooler so we can go outside!  Here is Cary riding his bike with Elijah on the back.
 One of my favorite pictures of the year!  This one epitomizes our 3 boys and how they have fun together.
 Baw Paw gave the boys some shirts from his alma mater Williams College.  I asked Jaron and Elijah to pose for a picture with their cute new shirts and here's what I got.

 Well, school began and then Jordan fell on the soccer field, breaking his hand/wrist in 3 places.  Eeek!!  Here he is with his brothers after being treated in the ER.  Jaron and Elijah brought him some Big League Chew to help him feel better.  Coincidentally, this also was a big day for Elijah, who successfully used the potty for the first time at home that morning!  :)  Wow, what a day!  Jordan hurt his wrist and Elijah got a new toy for his accomplishment.  (Incidentally Jaron also got a toy for "helping" Elijah do his business....too much information, I know....Needless to say, for better or for worse, this is a day that I will for sure remember!)

 He's doing so much better now!!  He has handled this very very well.  Here he is with his cast, which we all got to sign of course.

 These are Elijah's toys he picked out for his successful day of potty training.  He kept saying that he wanted a "Zurg and a Buzz."
 Here's a cute pic of Jaron with his new friend Jack!
 And here is Jaron's new Kindergarten class.  I signed up to bring the "hot lunch" of the month for the class, and they all enjoyed the tortillas, chicken, and shredded cheese!
 Of course we also brought cookies that Jaron and I had made together!
 This is a picture of Elijah taking a nap at school.  This is how he was most days when Jaron and I arrived to pick him up.
 Silly times at Jaron's soccer game!
 This was the night that Jaron scored his first goal!!  We are so proud of how hard he works on his team.  Their team name is the "Fireballs."  :)

 Here are a couple of pictures of the boys with their sweet friend Creede Hudson at his Spiderman birthday party.


 Here is a very happy boy!
 These 2 really love to cuddle.  It is really sweet how close they are becoming.  I thank God for that!!

San Miguel

This is one of the most amazing places I have ever been.  San Miguel, Mexico.  Cary and I went there for a quick trip in August and fell in love with this spot.  We had so much fun!  Cary is thinking of doing a JP show there next year and I cannot wait to go back!  It is like a European town right in the middle of Mexico, complete with cobblestone streets, basilicas, fun shopping, and amazing food!





 I did a lot of shopping...

 The boys also did some shopping with Mimi while we were on the trip!
 We got them luchador masks.  They love to wear costumes!
 This is what they looked like when they came down the stairs the morning after we gave them the masks.
 Of course, they had to wear their super-cute new soccer uniforms!  Best buddies!
