Happy 9th Birthday Jadon!

Jadon is turning 9 today, February 7, 2009. Last year of single digits. Is it really 2009 already?Wow time goes fast.

Jadon is our adventurer and outdoors men. He loves to hike in the park and jump off cliffs into the creek. He loves to climb trees and make forts. He is very much in touch with the earth. Actually, the earth is very much in touch with him; he is always dirty. So pictures on here that I chose were rare moments. He loves to go off on his own and explore. There is always (and we mean always) a stick in his hand. Usually a very large one for hiking that will, from time to time, serve as some imaginary weapon. He also collects everything. Rocks are his favorite collection. Mom finds them in the wash all the time.

Jadon is our dare devil. The boy has no fear. He started riding a bike (training wheel free) at 3 yrs. Ever sense then, when he saw his older brothers do a trick or a jump off the bike ramp, he showed them how to do it faster, higher, father or cooler! He amazes us with his nature ability to do stunts with out getting hurt, usually. He has a ton of energy. Many teachers and parents encouraged us to get him into gymnastics. So we did. The instructors were surprised by his ability to do the events they were teaching him on the first day.

He is also starting to show a creative side. He has been taking our camera and taking some really great photos (he got a camera for his birthday).

Jadon, we love your sense of adventure and that you love to try new things. You make us proud in so many ways. Son, we love you and are so glad God gave you to us.

Ps 23: 15-16: "My son, if your heart is wise, my own heart will rejoice! Everything in me will celebrate when you speak what is right."

Happy Birthday Jadon!

Love Dad,Mom, Valor,Ethan and Breandan
