Jaren pointing out his accomplishment.

Jaren is so lucky to have both sets of
Grandparents to come and support.

Monday and Tuesday were crazy busy days spent running Jaren to and from BYU. He had to set up his Science Fair project for the Regional Competition. There were about 250 students who made it to Regions. We were just so proud of Jaren for going this far. We kept telling him that it's been a fun and great experience.

On Tuesday it was such a rush to get out of the house that I forgot to grab the camera. Lame, I know. I thought, well, I've had my camera with me every other time when he's won. This must be a sign that he probably wont be getting anything. I'm such an optomist aren't I? I think I was just trying to not get my hopes up as well.

They shuttled the families up the the JSB building for the raffle and award ceremony. Cosmo, the BYU mascot, was there to hand out the raffle prizes. Not to offend any of you science finatitics out there, but come on people. Add a little pizaze, shout for joy, scream for excitement. Nothing, not a peep came out of the kids when they won a prize!!! What is that all about? I told Jaren, if your number comes up I want you to act like you are excited!!! And he did, it was fun to watch him run down and get is gift certificate for an apetizer at TGI Fridays.

The award ceramony was quite lengthy. Kind of like this post. We got down to the 2nd place awards when Hannah approached us and asked, " So it's 1st place or nothing at all?" Pretty much sista.

Jaren's name was the 3rd one called for 1st place. I was super excited for him. My emotions welled up and I was bursting with joy for him. Brent quickly handed me his phone and I ran up and took some pretty lame photos with the stupid cell phone. Urgghhhh. I'm so mad that I left the camera at home.

It was a great ride. Jaren learned a lot and had a great experience. Thanks to all our family who came to support Jaren.
