Friday night we had Jared's Graduation Show. IT WAS AWESOME!!!! It was so nice to see all the hard work and endless hours pay off. Last week Jared probably got 10 hrs of sleep total. Thursday night he only got 30 mins. before he had to get up and go to work. But it is done and he is very excited for graduation on Saturday. I couldn't be more proud of him. I love you Jared!!!!

Jared told me that Saturday he was all mine. We had so much fun hanging out. He had a few firsts this weekend. The first of them was his first time feeding Cayden solid food. It was quite cute to watch. He was really unsure of how to do it but he caught on pretty quickly.

Jared's other first was trying to juggle bocce balls. Now for those of you who don't know what a bocce ball looks like here they are....
We got my dad a set for his birthday. Each ball probably weighs 5 lbs. So Jared decides, with some coaxing from my younger brothers, to try and juggle 3 of the lovely 5 lb. balls. He started out pretty good and maybe juggled two balls and then it looked as if he threw one at his head trying to head in back into the rotation and it smacked him straight on the bridge of his nose. It made quite a loud crack. Needless to say he dropped what he was doing grabbed his nose and ran for the house. He didn't start bleeding right away which we thought was a good sign. So while he was in the bathroom observing his nose I was in the kitchen getting him ice and thinking that we were going to have to spend the afternoon in the hospital. Luckily my dad was/is an X-ray Tech. and knows a broken bone when he sees one. He said Jared would be fine and that it is just badly bruised. Then my next thought was that Jared has graduation on Saturday and now he has to go with his nose looking like this....
We are hoping that the swelling goes down by Saturday. Do you think our hopes are too high???
Anyway, things couldn't be going better. We are very excited for Jared's graduation and for the thought of going somewhere new and exciting. Who knows by this time next year we could be in England. Or if Jared gets his way, Spain.
So I'll end this post with a cute picture of Cayden and wish everyone a fantastic week.
WE LOVE YOU and hope that you have a wonderful birthday!!!

Okay, that up-close picture of Jared is kind of freaky! I'm glad his nose cooperated and healed in a week so it didn't look too bad for graduation!
