17TH BIRTHDAY

It is my oldest son's day of birth today. I am blown away that my second child is 17 years old. I really do not feel that old. He is such a great son I just wanted to take a few minutes and brag about him.

There have been quite a few posts on my blog lately with him in them. He is kind of our quiet boy (sometimes), so it has been fun to spotlight him a bit more than usual.

Here are some fun things about him:

1. He is kind to everyone. Don't get me wrong, he loves to tease EVERYONE, but he is kind.
2. He is a great drummer.
3. He is an amazing snowboarder. (I'm sure you've seen the photos).
4. If I ask him to do something, he does it without me having to remind him. (All you moms out there know what a wonderful quality that is!)
5. He has shot up 6 inches this year, and is still growing (much to his relief).
6. He honors his priesthood.
7. He has been mistaken for Justin Beiber.
8. He has a fun sense of humor.
9. His hair grows like a weed.
10. He's been a good driver so far, no wrecks, just a little bit too much speed.
