GQ Jared

Sunday after church Scott took Jared to Mikasa Park and held a photo shoot.

What a handsome boy. Just had to share.

Golden Book Award!

Jared was awarded the Golden Book award for excellent behavior in class. The teacher wrote The following on Jared's certifcate as the reason for selecting him:

"Jared is a charming young man and an outstanding classroom citizen. He listens carefully, follows directions, and is respectful. Jared is always kind to his peers. He loves coming to school and is an enthusiastic learner. It is a great pleasure to be his teacher. Jared is truly a golden boy!"

Jared was featured with the other golden book winners on the closed circuit television program at school and got to sign his name in the Golden Book with a golden pen.

Jared we are so proud of you! Keep up the good work!

Sweet Sunday!

Yesterday morning I woke up to Jared holding a bag of bread in my face and asking me to close it back up with the twisty-tie. When I asked him what he was doing he smiled really big and just said, "Last Sunday in Primary class we talked about how we could show our moms and dads that we love them and Marissa said, well she wasn't the first person to say it, but she said that we could make them breakfast in bed. So I thought that I would make you toast because cold cereal would be too messy in your bed." (Scott was already gone to early morning meetings.) After giving him a really big hug I told him that I'm pretty messy with toast too so I'd come eat it with him out at the kitchen table. He put the bread in the toaster all by himself and buttered his own slice (I buttered mine - he likes a little more butter than I do :)). After eating breakfast together - something we almost never do he got all ready for church and still had time to make Halloween cards. Just had to share - it was too sweet to keep it to myself!
