  • 13 years of watermelon eating.
  • 12 years experience being a big brother.

  • 5 years as a student accepted to the Extended Learning Program (ELP).
  • 4 years of level black snowboarding.
  • 3 years (at least) dodging girls flirtations (according to what he would have me think.)
  • 2 years of guitar lessons and Deacon Quorum experience and service.
  • 1 year convincing his parents that he IS a teenager (we don't believe him.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I can't believe that on Sinday you will be 14. You will be driving before your mom will be able to turn her head. Don't date though until you are 35. I love the tribute your mom did for you; you are so lucky to have a great mom and dad and belong to a wonderful eternal family of brothers and a sister.
Love,
Aunt Liz

“You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences.” ~Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley
