Can't believe the kid is so old. Eighth grade and fourteen definitely equals old. Sam has grown so much since becoming a deacon, and looking ahead, the next two years will be no different. I have a sneaky suspicion that a major growth spurt is about to come and that his body may start to catch up to those grand arms and legs. So, here are fourteen reasons why we love having Sam in our family:
1. Sam is our favorite babysitter.
2. He chooses very good music and is extremely careful with what he is willing to listen to.
3. Sam knows the scriptures. I am constantly amazed at what stories he is able to tell.
4. As the only boy in grades 6, 7, or 8 that is a Mormon, Sam stands tall as a great example of what he believes.
5. Anna loves Sam to give her airplane rides and they are fast buddies on Monday afternoons while the rest of us go to gymnastics.
6. He knows soooooo much about college football. He knows who is good, who the best players are, what uniform options teams have, superstitions, injuries, and through it all . . .
7. He is still loyal to BYU
8. Sam is great at making dinner and likes good food.
9. He is very active and enjoys playing basketball
10. He can surprise you with acts of kindness
11. Sam is the best lawn mower we can hire and he insists it is so much fun, he would love to work for free.
12. He nervously bites his nails, and doesn't like it much when reminded to stop
13. He is a book worm
14. He is a fantastic example to five younger siblings of learning, living, and loving the gospel.
Happy Birthday, Sam!! Hope it is a great one!!
