Note to self...

Stop blinking.<

I blinked and now my little boy is 12! Where did all those years go? Wasn't it just yesterday that I felt like I was going to die giving birth to this 10lb baby?

What an excited age.

Twelve.

It holds so much meaning.

The priesthood, passing the sacrament, mutual, scout camp and Jr High to name a few. Oh man, I'm not ready for any of this! But he is.

So in honor of this special day, 12 things we love about Shayne

1. He makes everyone feel like a special friend.

2. He is respectful and kind.

3. He is so tenderhearted to his sisters.

4. His had big dreams. (BYU quarterback followed by Denver Bronco NFL star)

5. His laugh is contagious.

6. He is always more concerned about others than about himself.

7. He's a sports nut.

8. He plays with so much heart and intensity

9. He's thoughtful.

10. He'll take his sister's on bike rides or play games or read books just because.

11. He has a strong desire to choose the right even when others aren't.

12. He is 100% boy.. 100% of the time.

From boy to man in a blink of a eye. We love everything about you Shayne!

Happy Birthday buddy!
