I have so many good memories of Jarod, he would always ask "Can we do something fun?". We had lot's of fun, all of the time, he was a great son and my buddy too. Below are some of the special times we spent together.
This picture was Dec 6th, 2003, we all had gone out to cut down a Christmas tree for our home. It was a fun day which included a hay ride, hot chocolate, a push pop and of course a Christmas tree. We rounded out the fun filled day by attending Lebanon's Christmas Horse Parade. It was a good day.
Jarod really enjoyed all of the festive events associated with Halloween. This includes picking out his Nija costume, carving pumpkins, and Trick or Treating. That night I was surprised as to how much candy he collected because each house he went to he had to talk to the homeowner and explain why he was a Ninja and not a Samurai. It had something to do with the length of his sword. Jarod always has something to say to anyone.
Jarod loved the playground, he would always ask to go and spend time. Jarod became really good at the monkey bars, and he loved to climb, we also started calling him "Monkey Boy". These pictures were from a parent lunch at Louisa Wright School the fall of 2003. I took him one of his favorites lunches, McDonalds.
One of the many way we spend our summer time is by going boating. Jarod loved to go tubing and would show off for the people in the boat. This would include riding with no hands, both feet and hands is the air, and of course the laid back look, hands crossed behind his neck and his ankles crossed. Jarod loved to sit and play in the porta potty room on the boat. It was just his size with a window. It was truly a kids space, no adults allowed.
One of things I always loved to do with Jarod is be his "Daddy Pillow".
Jarod always enjoyed cuddling and snuggling up with me, I loved it too. Often when he would do this, he would put his hands together and use them to rest his head against. It was always adorable.
More to Come .......
