A couple of days ago we took a trip out to Hooper where Jared was born and his family lived til he was about 5 years old. Because Jared's dad & older brother Scott were killed when Jared was 6, He has always been close to his dads brother Hal Stoddard. Hal is just about the greatest guy you could ever meet! Very humble and full of love! He still lives in Hooper with his darling wife Joyce. Jared loves to go out and visit them, because if you know Jared, Jared is a true country boy through and through and would love to live out in the middle of nowhere..not that Hooper is nowhere..its just a great quiet little town. So to him Hooper is home. Here are some of the pictures we took that day.
