Jared Turns 14

It's hard to believe that my little Jarbear is 14 already.  We had a pretty low key birthday for him which is just his style.  Every time I try to get him to do something his response is always, "why, people will be there, I don't like to be around people."  As I mentioned, he got a new suit and a bow tie and tie.  I also got him a new white shirt in an adult size for him to wear and luckily they make slim fitting shirts that fit is trim little frame much better than a regular fit does.  I also mentioned the red pant fiasco, but I took those back and luckily he liked everything else I got for him.  He got a pair of pants, sweats, a couple shirts and a new hoodie and a game for the computer that he has been wanting.  He really wanted an italian cream cake that the two big box stores usually carry in the summer but sadly they didn't not have them this time of year.  So sad.  Luckily valentines day is the day after his birthday so there is always red velvet around which is his next favorite so we had that.  We took him to dinner on Monday because Nate has been on call all week and he wasn't sure if he would be home on his actual birthday or not.  Jared was pretty mad at me that I tried to discretely tell the lady who seated us that it was his birthday.  Luckily the waiter got so distracted by our overdone steaks that they forgot all about the singing so he breathed a sigh of relief.  I just have a couple years left to turn him into a gentleman and get him ready to serve a mission and then it's off to school to be a neurosurgeon, at least that's what he wants to be as of right now.  Four years is in just the blink of an eye.
