He's Fourteen!

Kayden turned 14, just one day before Savanna turned 16! I couldn't talk him into a party, or even just inviting a couple of friends to go do something. He wanted low-key. He chose Panda Express for his birthday dinner and wanted brownies instead of cake. However, when we got back from dinner he was too full to have any. We blew out candles, anyway.

Kayden had a big growth spurt this year. People who haven't seen him for a few months can't believe how tall he's getting! He passed up his sister, which she was NOT happy about. He gets good grades, and works hard for straight A's. He is the man of the house, and we are so grateful for his worthiness to hold the priesthood, and the way in which he honors it. He's a good friend and enjoys hanging out with his buddies. He likes to walk to Burger King with his friends -- especially on Whopper Wednesday! He played football last fall (for the second year) and loved it. He had a few touchdowns -- one the length of the field! He LOVES to scare people and find Julie and Jill easy targets and so does it often. He likes to tease his sisters. He earned his Eagle Scout award several months ago and we were so proud of him. He is quiet, but a joy to have around. We are so lucky he is in our family!
