BIG 16!

Today is is JT's 16th birthday! Wow, it is hard to believe that he is 16 and that I am old enough to have a 16 year old! (I don't feel that old!) He is such a good kid! You just couldn't ask for any better! His nickname of late around the house is the BFG (big friendly giant). He is so kind hearted, he will do just about anything to be with Shane. When Jace and JT have been away from each other for a few hours or days they lay in bed visit to catch up on what they did while away from each other. Another great thing about JT is that he loves my cooking and enjoys eating a home cooked dinner. He loves to ride his motorcycle and was able to go to the sand dunes for a early birthday celebration. I am so proud of JT and the great person he is growing up to be! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JT!
