Scott turned 14! Where does all the time go that this guy is 14 now? He's looking all grown up and only has about an inch to go before he's as tall as me.
For his birthday present he really wanted some skis of his own. Skiing is one of Scott's all time favorite things to do. He was so excited about having his own set!
His day was pretty simple since he had school. I went and decorated his locker the afternoon before to surprise him, he asked for his favorite breakfast burritos for breakfast, and then I went and picked up jimmy johns for him and his best friend David and brought it to the school for them. I usually take them out on their birthdays, but he thought that would be fun to get it delivered and boy were they excited! His friend David couldn't stop grinning "We've been waiting all day for this!" So cute!
Then he wanted beef sammies for dinner. He also had a Court of Honor for scouts on the same night, and he earned his Life Rank so that was a fun birthday addition! Then home for carrot cake and presents!
Opening up presents
These two melt my heart. They love each other so much. Hailey is so sad that Scott is heading off to highschool without her next year. She will miss him in middle school for sure.
Scott is the best firstborn. He protects his siblings, loves them all so much, and is such a great example to them too. (Don't worry he also loves to pester and push their buttons, I didn't say he was perfect). He works so hard in school and has been on the honor roll all his trimesters in middle school, as well as getting Academic Excellence every year which is a 4.0 GPA in all classes, all trimesters. He's one smart cookie. He's still shredding up the slopes all winter long, and has been doing the rock climbing after school program for 3 years now. In scouting, he just earned his LIFE rank which is just before Eagle. Since our church is splitting from boyscouts, we found him a nondenominational troop that he is super excited to join! He starts up with them in January.
Scott is just a great kid! We love him so so much! Happy Birthday Handsome Boy!
