Go Hawks! ~ Happy Birthday!

Today we celebrated Jaren's 6th birthday. On Dec. 20, 2002 we were welcoming Jaren into our family. So much has happened in those 6 years, so good and some that we'd like to forget. Listening to his first words, especially the first time he said "I love you", watching him start to walk, his first camping trip, watching him build friendships, learning how to ride a bike, going to school and the list could continue to go on. We've had our battles, especially with his health...3 hospital stays in the fist 1-1/2 years is plenty. We rejoice because he is a strong, healthy boy today who is a wonderful son and terrific brother. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAREN! We love you.

Here are a few pictures from today's party. It was an Iowa Hawkeye party which included football and helmet cakes, football themed games and of course some guests even came with Hawkeye apparel. Thanks to everyone who braved the wonderful Iowa winter weather to come help Jaren celebrate. Before bed tonight he said, "That was a great birthday party, wasn't it mom!"

Okay, so the photos won't load today, so look for them in the next couple of days.
