Jaron turns 11!

 Jaron turned double ones...11!

We had a great week celebrating Jaron's birthday!  We woke up on his birthday and had cinnamon rolls and opened presents.  We hung out playing for the morning and then that afternoon we met up with The Pace's and went to Hang Time.  They had fun jumping and their favorite part was the climbing section.  After that we went to Jaron's all time favorite pizza place, 2 Jacks Pizza.  It was good pizza and it was fun finally tasting this pizza he's told us all so much about.  He first went there with Graham after going to Splash Summit a couple years ago.  After that we raced back so Jaron could get to a last minute scrimmage he team had just scheduled.  We went and got doughnuts and gave them to his team and they all sang to Jaron.  He loves soccer so it was a great way to end his birthday.

The weekend before his birthday we had a swim party up at the clubhouse.  It was fun to celebrate and the boys loved swimming and playing lots of games in the pool.  The worst part was the clubhouse air conditioning was broken so the actual clubhouse was 91 degrees.  So we spent a lot of the time getting ahold of the HOA and they sent someone to fix it.  Unfortunately, it wasn't fixed until the party was over.

Sunday we had a family birthday celebration for all the July birthdays!

Jaron is kind, helpful, sensitive, and a good compromiser when his sisters are fighting with him about something.  He still loves his screens, nintendo, youtube, and his tablet games.  I can often motivate him with more screen time but I really wish he would do more things off of screens.  He still has a good group of friends at Westfield and some friends in the neighborhood.  This will be his last year in Elementary school and I think he will be more than ready for that.  We love having Jaron in our family.
