Sweet 16

How could this cute little baby be 16?? I'm not sure how it happened so fast, but it is true... he turned 16 yesterday. Mitchell has been such a wonderful son. He was a great baby and a mischievous toddler, a fun little boy and a now he is a great teenager! We love our Mitchell! I scanned a few pictures of him to share with you... they each show a characteristic of him that we LOVE!

SO HANDSOME! His blessing day...


LOVING: Cute big sister and baby boy!


ALL BOY! Like I said, he was a mischievous little boy! He loved getting into things! I had to get a lock for my fridge... he would go in the kitchen and dump things on the floor! like eggs... (you got to love pictures like this where the background tells so many stories... an unmade bed... 80's wallpaper, a wreath that i made out of dried roses, our very first computer we bought, it was a color mac classic! We saved up for that for a long time! Look how small the screen is... pictures tell a lot of stories!)


FASHION: He has always been our fashion boy... he used to wear khakis and collared shirts everyday in elementary school. I don't think he wore jeans and t-shirts till a couple years ago!


DETERMINED! He spent hours spear fishing in Hawaii! He was determined
to catch a fish and he did!


ATHLETIC AND CHARMING! He is great at sports and the girls love him.
He is the only boy his age in our ward, so his best friends are the girls... (i picked him up from school yesterday and he had a cake, cupcakes, a balloon and a crown that different girls had given him)


TALENTED: He is very musically talented! He loves his guitars and plays them so well! Hopefully someday he will sing again... he used to sing as a little boy... but now he is too shy... Once in a while I stand outside his room and listen to him sing to his guitar... he's great. I probably shouldn't write that or he will stop doing it...


He wanted to go to Chili's for his b-day dinner! It was yummy.

We Love that cake, it was gone in seconds!

Happy birthday Mitchell!! We love you so much!! Thanks for being such a good boy!
