Another Milestone

Connor had a few friends over for a day of gaming. We didn't tell them it was for his birthday!

We figured he really didn't need anything and it was fun to have some friends over. I liked this approach! They had pizza, soda, and plenty of game time before we pulled out his cake and presents. The cake looked hideous besides being the wrong thing. Connor wanted a Green Bay Packers logo and I ended up doing an Oregon Ducks O before Pete came home and reminded me of what it was supposed to be! The filling while yummy was spilling out of the middle and the frosting job was sub-par but because Connor is Connor he said it was great, gave me a hug and loved it anyway. I really am a lucky mom. Connor had no idea what he was getting for his birthday so I was really excited for Pete and I to give this to him....



Fast forward to today, Connor was ordained a Teacher. I can't believe he is already 14. He also talked in Sacrament Meeting today and did a fantastic job. I'm so proud of him. He is a really good speaker. He is growing up fast and what's even scarier is that we only have about 4 summer's or so to have some fun vacations with him before he's ready to head off to college! We'd better start planning now! Love you boy!!

Wow! Seriously??? 14?? What the heck? I still remember how cute he was in the 8 year old primary class 'back in the day'. He was such a great kid and it looks like he hasn't changed! (o:

Krista and I were just talking about how old everyone is getting and Connor turning 14 came up. Makes me realize that I am older than I feel like.

I can't believe that he is 14 already. He is my favorite kid ever!
