Happy 8th Birthday Colton...

Wow...Has it really been 8 years. I am thankful that this boy is a member of our family. He brings such joy into our home. Colton is very strong headed. It is hard to talk him out of anything that he sets his mind to. He is a hard worker in all that he does. We are very proud of his hard work in 2nd grade this past year. His favorite subject was Math and he got 100% on all of his spelling tests except one the whole year. He is very motivated when it comes to anything that has to do with sports. Whatever sport he is playing is his favorite at the time. He practices hard and works to excel in all things. He tries hard to obey the commandments and gets sad when he does something wrong. He loves to learn more about the gospel. We are looking forward to his baptism next week. I realized he was growing up this year when he would turn on ESPN Sportscenter in the morning before school instead of cartoons. He is exactly like his Dad and most people call him a mini Greg. Colton is such a good brother and I love that Cannon is his best friend.



Colton we love you and hope you know how proud we are of you!
