Ethan's 13th Birthday!

Watch Out there is a TEENAGER in the house!  

Ethan's last night of being 12.

Our candy gram to the teenager.

Dear Ethan, Happy Birthday to the SMARTEST teenager we know!  You are a STARBURST in our eyes!  We know you will go far in life.  Like all the way to ORBIT and back.  Your uniqueness and ORIGINAL-ity (skittles) make you special.  You know how to take everything in STRIDE. Jacob, mom and the rest of us love your (gummy) BEAR hugs.  We know you can make it to the BIG LEAGUE (chewing gum).  But whatever you do.... It is UP2U.  Thanks for always going the extra mile or going to the EXTREMES. 
You are a SWEETHEART.  Love all us NERDS. 
PS.  We love how you get AIR (heads) on your bike.

Ethan had BBQ pizza for dinner and TollHouse Pie for dessert. 
This was all before he decided to have party with friends after school started.
The Pool Party. 
We had a cotton candy machine, borrowed a professional snowcone machine, grilled hamburgers, volleyball net, a tetherball set and swimming.  What else do teenagers need? 

Ethan made arrangements with our Bishop to go wakeboarding for his birthday.  He loves this.  We brought some KFC and had our family night with the Hendersons at Buena Vista Lake.  This was the only picture we got before the battery died on the camera.  But Ethan got up on his first try, like a champ. 
Happy Birthday Ethan!  I love everything about you!
