Happy Birthday, Mr Loyd!

-

This handsome kid finally did it. He hit the big 14!  To celebrate we had his favorite dinner - Subway Sandwiches, made his favorite cake - chocolate chip cookie cake, and took some friends to his second favorite place - Park Side Bowling Alley.  Of course his favorite thing to do is play computer games, closely followed by relaxing on his bed with his gerbil friend, Tornado.  

Loyd is one awesome guy.  He's loving and kind.  He loves little creatures and exploring in the garden.  He works hard to do well at school.  He's a friendly guy, a big smile and friendly "Hello" to all he meets.  Loyd has been practicing his music skills this year, getting better at playing his euphonium.  He really loves Band and did awesome at the 3 performances he has already had this year.  Wow!  He's still growing like a weed, now taller than his dad and loves to go for walks or bike rides to the grocery store for a soda treat and candy.  

We sure love this guy and can' believe we are in the teen years already!  Happy Birthday, Loyd!  I can't wait to celebrate many more with you to come!

The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
