twenty five

Jared turned 25 yesterday, September 20th. Jared had a good day, despite the little quarter life crisis that came with the BYU game the day before. (Walking home from the game he said things like "I wish I was never born..." "What is the purpose of life?!" :) He pulled out of his depression in time to celebrate his big day. He got to pick out his favorite cereal, Peanut Butter Crunch, and got some pretty good gifts. His parents came down for the weekend as well, which was a special treat...Gracie was good for Dad on his big day...she even said, "Hi Daddy!" when he got her out of her car seat...sweet.

The evening of his birthday we headed to the Jones cousin monthly dinner, which was hosted by the bachelor boys, Abram and Cade. It was a delicious fiesta dinner! Here are the hosts: The girls chit-chatting!
I brought a pinata to the party...I thought a cement truck fit for Mr. Construction man's birthday.The kids gave it a good try (Lexi, Addi and Porter), which was absolutely adorable, but that pinata was pretty stubborn!
Finally the birthday boy finished off the poor pinata. The swedish fish and reeses went flying, and the kids went crazy!
Cake time! I made this round cake and decorated it while Jared was home teaching...when he came home he said, "Nice, an M&M cake.." Unintentional...but perfect! Jared loves M&M's! I now know how to make a cake that looks like an M&M, in case anybody wants to know how.So my man is 25 now. Older. Wiser. He's not the young whipper-snapper he used to be.

But Gracie and I love him more and more every day! Love you Jared!!
