Edward's 14th Birthday!

 Happy 14th birthday to my sweet Edward! Oh, how has 14 years gone by so quickly? What have I done with those years?  Have I been a good mother to my sweet boys? I just don't know.  I hope I have done what they needed and helped them when they needed.  

Edward is intelligent.  He can figure things out so quickly.  He is strong and now he is taller than me.  He loves to eat fruit and meat.  I bet that is what he will eat far in to adulthood.  Edward loves the video game War Thunder and plays it most days when he is finished with his school work.  Edward is very involved with this Teacher quorum at church and has been helping out as much as he can.  He started archery with the school and has been practicing most days.  He has great aim and I know he has worked hard to get better as time has gone by.  

Edward loves his brother, Nolen.  They share a room and spend most nights giggling until one of them finally falls asleep.  I know he wants his privacy but I love that they share a room.  They share so many things and they will have each other for life.  

I love Edward.  I love his sweetness.  I love how soft he is and how much he cares for the people around him.  He is kind and funny.  He has and always will be stubborn but that is OK for now.  I am hoping he will use his stubbornness for good as he grows.  

I have loved every age, but these last few years have been amazing!  I love watching Edward grow and change into a man.  He is learning responsibility and he is owning up to his actions more and more each day.  I love him.  I love him.  I love him.

Happy 14th birthday!

For Edward's birthday, we surprised him with a visit from his cousin Logan!  He was so surprised.  Edward wanted to shoot air-soft guns with all his friends so we spent all day Saturday at the shooting range.  I brought his friends and they had pizza and doughnuts.  It was a fun day.
