Jarrett's 7th Birthday July 31st

Jarrett got to celebrate his birthday twice this year once with friends and then with family.

On July 24th Jarrett and some of his good buddies went to see Despicable Me and then came back for pizza, presents, and huge cupcakes!

On the morning of Jarrett's actual birthday the 31st we started with presents in our bed. Which has been a fun new tradition because who wants to wait all day for their presents anyway?

Later in the evening cake, brownies, and ice cream sundaes with family. It was a good day for our silly but always sweet boy. ( He still tells me I'm beautiful and he loves me:)

Chicago!

Patrick, Chase, and I all went to Chicago in June. We were really impressed with the Windy City.
It was clean with lots of flowers no graffitti and it didn't smell bad! The people were polite as well. We went to the museum.

We took a boat tour around the city on the river.

We went to Navy Pier which is on the far right of the picture.

We went to the aquarium. And ate lots of good food. It was a great trip. I couldn't include a picture of Patrick because there wasn't any! He takes such great pictures.
