Beginning of Summer 2012

Going to the park with Grandaddy!
I'm actually not sure when this picture was taken, but it is so cute I have to include it!  Aunt Kimmy with the boys.
Sweet little Elijah
Jaron at SMU with the ponies!
Jordan started really learning to play guitar this summer.  He took a few lessons from Cary and some others, and he sounds GREAT!!
Jaron started learning to play tennis!  He took a tennis camp at the beginning of the summer, and then also took some lessons when we went to Colorado.  He really likes it!
Elijah is still learning all sorts of things!  Like playing in the pillows!
Here are a few of Jaron's drawings of superheros.  He LOVES drawing them, and with some direction, he drew these all by himself!

This is one of my favorite pictures of the summer!
Here are the boys with my Mom in her new convertible!
The boys jumping on the couch with their shirts off...for some reason they call this look, "diver boy."  They are most likely playing a game called, "jump bonk," in which we throw pillows at them while they jump on the couch.
Here are some pictures of us at my Mammas and PopPop's 60th Wedding Anniversary Party on June 17th.  It was a very sweet night to remember!




At this party, there was actually a "kids' room" with a balloon lady!

This is Jaron's soccer picture from the spring.  I just had to include it because he looks so handsome!

Happy 5th Birthday Jaron!!

Jaron turned 5 on May 21!!  It is so fun to have a 5-year-old!  For his birthday breakfast, we had pancakes with M&Ms and whipped cream!
 Jaron's big gift this year was this stuffed toy named "Dude."  Jaron consistently draws this character, "Dude," a superhero with 6 arms.  For his birthday, we emailed this drawing to a lady who creates stuffed toys from children's drawings.  Dude is SO cute and looks exactly like the drawing!
 Hanging out with brothers on his birthday!
 Mimi brought a bunch of birthday surprises!


 This is Jaron's castle birthday cake that my Mom made for him this year.  Isn't it awesome!?!  He loved it.  She always comes up with such creative ideas!

 Happy birthday to Jaron!  Happy birthday to you!

 Here is Elijah with a silly little smile.  :)
 To celebrate Jaron's birthday this year, we decided to just invite a couple of buddies to join us at Medieval Times for dinner and a show.  Here is the invitation we made!  Such a cute little knight!
 We got this cardboard castle for the boys to play in- they are ready to battle the bad guys!
 Here is Jaron with his friends Luke and Hawkins- they are getting ready for the birthday party!


 At Medieval Times!
 When we got there it turns out that we were on the team of the Yellow Knight.  That went over well, despite the fact that Jaron's favorite color is currently green.  Here they are with their crowns!
 Mimi and Elijah!
 GO YELLOW KNIGHT!

 Jaron and Daddy!
 Me with Mom!
 My sweet little Knight!  During the show the Princess announced that it was "Knight Jaron's birthday!"
 The Yellow Knight!

 The boys were so excited about the show that they didn't eat much.  You would think that they would have loved it considering that you eat with your hands there.  But they pretty much just watched the show and munched on some focaccia bread.  :)

 Then they got birthday cake!  

 Here they are with some of the knights at the end of the show.  

We had such a wonderful time!  It was a great birthday!!
