Jared, age 12.5

Jared doesn't particularly like having his picture taken, as you can see from this shot. He is sitting in our "scripture room" where we do family night, read, do homework, and have family scriptures and prayers. He's about to do his math homework. Jared will be 13 in July. He goes to 7th grade, he's a deacon, loves ym/yw activities, is getting to be a pro at scout campouts, and we have to be careful not to let him spend too much time on YouTube or World of Warcraft. He is now officially taller than his Mom, can whip her in an arm wrestle (even if she cheats), and wears bigger shoes than his Dad.
