Really where has the time gone!!!!! Darien is 12. I really had no idea that time could go by so quickly. I also never new being a new parent how much joy it would bring into my life having children. I am so thankful for Darien and the wonderful example that he is to his younger brothers. Being the oldest has it's challenges but he is handling them very well and we try to be fair in all that we do. We don't do a lot of birthday parties opting instead to use the money to have family vacations but there are some birthdays that we like to make a big deal of and turning 12 is one of them because at church Darien will become a deacon recieving the priesthood and being able to pass the sacrament and he is very excited about that.
This year was very nice because Jamie's mom, brother and three children were with us. It doesn't happen very often that he gets to celebrate with family.
We had a wonderful visit with everyone
Amy and Landon (our lodgers) were even home for the celebrations.
Happy Birthday to the best Darien that I know. He has so much personality. It is great to see those teenage sarcasms coming through but it really does make me laugh and we have a good time.
For Darien he looks at his birthday being that much closer to being able to drive and living in Alberta that means that in 2 years he will have his learners. Heaven help us. LOL
Only one candle left for the love of his life. LOL Yes that is me. :)
Getting ready to open his presents.
You are never too old for presents.
We thought that this was pretty funny. It was from Uncle David. He bought him hydrogen peroxide and bandages for when he wipes out doing jumps on the 1/4 pipe. LOL Happy Birthday Darien, we Love YOU.
