It's hard to believe, but our J-man is 8 years old. Jaron has been a pure joy from the day we met him, and we are so grateful that he came to our family. His big, brown eyes and goofy grin always bring us a smile and we are constantly waiting for him to do or say something crazy.
The best thing about Jaron is that he is everyone's friend. This kid knows no strangers and makes friends wherever he goes, and not just with people his own age. And if you know Jaron, you understand what I am saying.
Being a goofy goober himself, Jaron has an affinity for Sponge Bob Square Pants, and while maybe not the most appropriate of children's shows, I must admit, I think it is hilarious. Jaron loves to use his "imaginaaaaaatiooonnn" (you have to see the movie) just like Sponge Bob, so we decided to throw him a Sponge Bob theme sprinkler birthday party. It was a HUGE hit, and luckily, the weather cooperated. My friend Angela, is an amazing cake decorator, among other things, and my Brady is an aspiring chef/baker. He has long wanted to learn how to use Fondant icing, and fortunately, Angela agreed to make Jaron a SpongeBob cake and taught Brady how to do it. He had such a good time and was so proud of what he made for his brother. Look at this amazing cake!!
It was too awesome to eat it, but the kids managed to cut into after many oohs and aahs.
Jaron is pretending to blow out the candles because it was a little too windy for the candles to stay lit. Before cake, presents, and ice cream, the kids played and played! We did a water relay, SpongeBob slip and slide, whack a mole water game, water gun fights, and of course, a water balloon fight.
Nice form Jaron!! This kid loves the water.
We ended the day with an awesome bubble display (thanks Auntie for the bubble machine). The kids, and even Bruno the dog LOVED chasing all the bubbles. Even the little 2 year olds got in on the fun.
It was awesome to see a big yard full of kids chasing bubbles.
Look at the concentration in Chloee's face!! Get that bubble girl! This party was one of the most fun we have done, and while the timing wasn't great with us moving and all, we were happy to create such a special day for Jaron! Happy Birthday JJ! WE LOVE YOU!

What an amazing cake!! Happy Birthday to Jaron! Sounds like you guys had a great day and a smash hit party. Way to go!
Also...what is the brand of the bubble machine? I have been wanting one for the girls, but didn't want to actually buy one unitl I talked to someone who had one...
Hey Maigan!
Bobbi got him the bubble machine at Walmart. It's nothing fancy, but it works great. You just have to make sure you rinse it out well after every use. They are so fun!
Perfect...I actually had to return a bunch of stuff there this week and they made me get a gift card instead of a refund so I will stop in and pick one up in time for Allie's birthday!! Fun fun fun. Thanks for the info Darcy :o)
