Jack Turns 10!

Jack turned 10 years old yesterday. All of my kids are now in double digits. 

He has been wanting a cabin party for years, he has been watching as Aiden went and now it was finally his year.

We got up there and it was cold! Just a little snow so we spent the evening around the fire.

 He invited five friends, Max, Joe, Matt, Troy and Corban. 

We had pizza, pop, popcorn, candy and pine nuts to eat.

They played bubble talk, fuseball, and watched Here Comes the Boom.

 He was spoiled with a huge gummy bear, nerf guns, money, a chick fil a calendar and card, a blow gun from mom and dad and lowe's xtreme sports gift card.

 Here we are opening presents.

 He loved spending a late fun night with his friends. It was a perfect birthday for our Jack!

I love Jack so much and love to see how we grabs life with a smile and is always up for an adventure. I like this picture from his backpacking trip with his Dad this summer. Jack loves to have fun!

Happy 16th Birthday!

Aiden turned 16 on November 30th! 

16!!! I can hardly believe it.

We had a family birthday party on his Birthday and celebrated by going to Texas Roadhouse for ribs.

He got a new jacket and snowboard wax and repair kit.

He also raked in the money and gift cards from Grandparents and Family.

He is a handsome boy!

Right after school I took him to get his driver's license. So the next day he could drive to school!

He also had some friends over Friday night and they went to Lowe's Xtreme Airsports to jump around for a couple of hours.

Aiden has been doing great things his sophmore year so far. He ran on the cross country team and now he is going to do track. He pulled a muscle midway through the season and was not able to run as much as he wanted, but he really liked it.

He was ordained a Priest today, and Grandma Liston bought him a really nice suit a month ago, so he is ready to bless the sacrament.

 Aiden also has a really funny sense of humor. He dressed us as Kip Dynamite for Halloween and wore this to school. 

I love Aiden so much. I told him on his birthday that he made me a mom 16 years ago. He is my guinea pig, the one I get to try everything out on to see what works and doesn't. He leads the way for his sister an brother and does a great job at the example he sets.
