Happy 14th Birthday Kyle!

I cannot believe that I have a child that is 14 years old! Where does the time go? It seems like yesterday we were living in Farmington in my parents basement. Kyle was lucky enough to live with his grandparents for the first 4 years of his life. My parents loved having him around. He was such a fun little boy. He still is ;)

Kyle is really into basketball right now. He plays on his Middle School team (the Ridgeview Panthers). He has gotten quite good. We love going to his games...even though they blow the whistle every three seconds for some sort of foul or something! Anyway, Steve wanted to do something really special for him. So he thought it would be really fun to go to a NBA game. Kyle has never been to one. So a friend of ours hooked him up with a pair of awesome tickets to see a game on his birthday. It just so happens that the Jazz traded Deron Williams (Kyle's favorite player) to the New Jersey Nets the day before. The Spurs were playing the Nets! It was pretty cool.


We celebrated the night before his birthday so that Steve could take off for San Antonio right after school. He received his tickets to the game in a Basketball for Dummies book. Kyle was super surprised and really excited to go and see a "real" game. The kids gave him a new basketball and some gum and candy too. Kassadi picked out a cookie cake and we put some basketball players on it.




I told Steve to take some pictures...these are what came off of his camera ;) Of course, he had to get the dancers!
Kyle was ordained to the office of Teacher. Before we know it, he will be blessing the Sacrament!Happy Birthday to one amazing son and brother. We love you Kyle!

Wow. I remember when Kyle was baptized. I actually think about it a lot because Jonathan will be in a few months. I remember that Kyle read the Book of Mormon when he was 8! (Is that right?) So I honestly cannot believe he he fourteen now!!!

Also, how did your girls end up looking so much alike? I was certain that Olivia was different but NO. I love your header picture. CUTE family!
