BIRTHDAY BOY~JACE

Today Jace is 14!!!! Where does the time go? Arie made him a birthday card that says "I hope that you would not grow up and leave home". I hope that he doesn't grow up and leave home either. I can still remeber his cute turned up nose with a bunch a strawberry blond hair on the back of his head when he was born. He was such a happy, content baby. I miss the days that the kids were little. Jace keeps us on our toes, when he is focused on something that is all he thinks about. He has started to grow taller. He is getting excited to try out for the high school soccer team in the fall. He has enjoyed snowboarding this winter. Jace's teachers all say what a great
he is! If only we could freeze time!!!! Happy Birthday Jace!!!
