I can't believe my eldest child is now 9 years old! Where do the years go? It seems like only yesterday I was eagerly awaiting the birth of my first born son... all those episodes of "Baby Story" on TLC, painting the nursery & buying new furniture... the anticipation. Then when he arrived, it was like falling in love all over again. Who would have known your heart could expand miles when you have a child. I've been fortunate to have been blessed with 3 wonderful children... so when Jarrod turned 9 this past weekend, I couldn't help but shed a tear as we sang "Happy Birthday" and he blew out the "9" candles on the mini cupcakes he insisted we get versus the traditional cake or cupcake cake. Here are a few pictures I wanted to share. Now to find the time to scrap the memories! :-)
Jarrod picked The Old Spaghetti Factory for his family birthday dinner celebration. This is Me with Logan & Jarrod waiting to be seated...
Jarrod asked for an iPod touch for his birthday... this is him with the card I made him and his new iPod Touch. Thanks Rina for the Heidi Swapp papers, they were PERFECT for the card!
Jarrod hosted his first sleepover with a couple of his friends. He picked mini-cupcakes for his "birthday cake"... here he is with his brother Dylan, waiting to blow out the candles!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing this wonderful moment of time with me! :-)

I have all boys as well in my house, so I know all about that testosterone thing! The only other girl in the house is my dog, Lola, and she on occasion likes to roll around in farm poop, so I can't really count her as a girlie girl! Jarrod has a wonderful smile, how proud you must feel! Have a great day Arlene. Tashia
