Kaiden's 13th Birthday

For Kaiden's 13th birthday, we took everyone to my parent's cabin in Bear Lake. The boys had a great time playing checkers and hanging out. The next morning we got up and went skiing at Beaver Mountain. Kaiden has officially entered the "teenage years". I'm a little bit nervous about it, but I'm having a great time watching Kaid grow up and become a man! Here's a little tribute to my oldest son:

K ind. One of the greatest things about Kaid. He truly is nice to everyone. No wonder he has lots of friends.

A ttentive. Kaiden is very observant and is aware of what is going on around him. He is courteous to others and tries to be respectful to everyone.

I ntelligent. Kaiden is very smart kid and does well in school. For the last two semesters, he has received a 3.7 on his report card. Way to go, Kaid!

D etermined. When Kaiden sets his mind to something, he's usually always successful. He knows how to get the job done.

E arnest. Kaiden has always been a sensitive person and intently cares about people and their feelings.

N eat. I appreciate the fact that Kaiden is good about taking care of himself. He always looks and smells good. That's a great thing...especially now that he's a teenager!

We love you, Kaiden. Happy Birthday!
