10 Things I love about my 11 year old “soon to be teenage” son:

1. He is my “Jim Carrey” of the family, and cracks us up.
2. He loves animals.
3. He has a sensitive heart.
4. He is smart.
5. He loves to shop =)) (a boy after my own heart)
6. He loves to make cookies.
7. He loves to make things, or build things with his hands.
8. He can fish better than all of us.
9. He loves to read.

And most importantly…

10. He loves Jesus.

Funny Story of the day:This Saturday just me and son were going shopping for his bithday present (some new, cool, in-style shoes). We get in the car and he asks, “Why doesn’t my brothers come?” and I said “because I am spending money on you, not them; this is your special trip.” Then son asked, “Well who is going to entertain me?”, and I looked at him and said “Well what am I chopped liver?”. Then son said, “No, you are the walking money”.

When oldest son heard this story he said “Yep, Mom the walking wallet”. Well I guess if is is not food that keeps them coming back it is MONEY!! I just have not told them yet at age 18, the money is all gone, ha!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY “SOON TO BE TEENAGER” !!!

don’t grow up too fast…..
