Happy 8th Birthday Jadon

Happy Birthday Jadon, our adventure kid.  He learned the love of hiking this year.  All the hikes over he took over Alaska and his trip with Greg this past summer has brought out a new love for him.  He loves to explore new ways to use his pocket knife with all the treasures he finds on those hikes.  I love watching him take charge on a hike and lead the way.

He can still be found playing legos, trains, cars, baseball cards, telling jokes, reading, and finding his own adventures.

His love for baseball is contagious.  He loves playing the game, watching the Mariners, and playing with his baseball cards.  Usually Mariners versus the Twins, which he is always cheering for the Mariners to win!   

Jadon’s new adventure this year is basketball.  He is off to a great start.  Loves learning a new game.  We are excited to watch him play this year.    

One of the most important things that happened this past year was Jadon’s decision to do communion.  He love and knowledge for the Lord has grown so much this past year.  I love watching the Lord work through his life.  Praying he will continue to trust the Lord throughout his life.  

Jadon’s birthday we celebrated with family Don, Ferol, Parker, Nikki, Mack and our family.  We had sweet and sour meatballs.  Then went to the Christmas Choir program at church.  All three of the kids were in it!  They did an amazing job!  Afterwards we went back to the house to enjoy apple crisp with vanilla ice cream and open presents.  Can’t believe he is 8!

Here’s to eight year old adventures to come!
