Happy Birthday Jarod!

Happy Birthday Jarod!!! Hi birthday was actually October 12, but I haven't had time to post until now. I can't believe he is 7 years old now. Wow. Where did the time go! Jarod had a busy day on his birthday. I brought lunch over to his school and got to eat with him in the cafeteria. Then later in the afternoon I went back to school and went on the annual Jog/Walk to help promote a healthy lifestyle. After dinner we opened presents and had cake and icecream with Jarod's friend and neighbor, Brandon. Jarod got a scooter for his birthday. He loved it and couldn't wait to get outside!

Here's the new helmet!

The scooter...
This is Jarod's friend, Brandon. Are they getting to age where it's not cool to look at the camera?
Jarod loves lemon cake.

After cake and icecream, we went up north to the ever busy and noisy Chuck E. Cheese. They all had a great time. Jarod and Brandon got the same toy with their tickets- a rocket launcher. The boys talked about the evening all the way home. Who says boys don't talk much!

New name

Okay, all of you who read this... I need a new name for this blog. (I don't like that name - blog. Doesn't just flow off the tongue.) Anyway, when I was setting up this site, I was not in a very creative frame of mind and just settled on "Becky's Blog" for the title. I haven't liked it, but don't know what else to call it.

So, any thoughts? It can be cutesy or clever, whatever. I'll look forward to your replies!

Cub Scouts

Jarod is now an official cub scout. Eric and I thought he would really enjoy cub scouts because he will get to earn badges and awards. Jarod loves to go to Lowes and make things with his hands. He then gets a badge to put on his apron. So, we thought cub scouts would be a natural fit. Eric was almost an eagle scout.

Eric took Jarod to a bon fire with his pack last Friday night. They got to sit in a cannon and have smores. They both had a great time!
