May snow brings June....????

Welcome to the Jaren show...again. He's sure growing up in a hurry, chubby fingers and all. I even gave him his first hair cut last week. Apparently I cut off all his fine, straight hair and now he's sporting a cute curly do. I think he looks so handsome and mature. I just thought how ironic the shirt he's wearing in the photo below is, since the space program is becoming nearly obsolete (right Mom). What type of world do we live in when I kid can't aspire to be a Rocket Scientist? Well anywho, enjoy the abundance of pictures of this little guy and a few of our little girls too.

A blurry little smirk, but it's the closest to a smile I've gotten.



Claire is quite the character. Not sure it's a good thing she's becoming more verbal. Trying not to create too much of a mental image, but the other day I was getting out of the shower while Claire was hanging out in the bathroom (not a moment of peace I tell you). She looks at me sideways, which I really try to prevent as much looking as possible, and she questions, "Your bum?" I reply, "Ummm, yep, sure thing, my bum." She says frankly, "It's bigger." Indeed my friend, indeed.

Aunt Cherie made Jaren this darling hat and sent him the outfit to match. It finally warmed up enough for him to wear the clothes so I thought I better take the chance to snap some photos before it decides to snow again. He looks like a little angel.



Mia could hold him for hours. The girls are such good sisters to him.

Jaren looking spiffy in his Sunday best.

When Denice was here visiting last month, we headed over to the Tulip Festival...one of my very favorite places. It's just sooo beautiful. Here the girls are in the Secret Garden.

Jaren loved his first Tulip Festival.

Oh my gosh! He is so cute! I really need to see him...I am going to just have to find a way and soon. And I swear your girls all look so much bigger and older...how does that happen? Oh thank you for these pictures...you just made my day a little bit better.

He's getting so big and so cute. I think Claire and Gabby must have been exchanging thoughts on what they think we look like. Really makes you feel good about yourself doesn't it?

I need that Rocket Scientist shirt! Where did you get it? My dad is actually a Rocket Scientist and he would get a kick out of that. He is getting so big and is so cute!

Yes, so cute. Thank you for posting the hat picture. When I made it, I didn't dream he'd be wearing it for warmth. If it is snowing at your house, just think what it is doing in Driggs. We have had great weather in Alaska, thank goodness.
