Happy 14th Bday Austin!!

Happy 14th Birthday to my nephew Austin. I will never forget driving to Utah with my dad the day he was born to see him. He was such a beautiful baby. He is my first nephew and such a sweetheart. Austin is such a fun loving kid. As a kid, he always LOVED to come over and spend the night with us. We would stay up late, watch movies, pop popcorn and so on. He loved to help me with Emmie when she was a baby. He loved to figure out how to set her pump, change her trach, change her feeding tube and so forth. It melts my heart to think that those times have past. Now that he is growing up he doesn't like to stay as often but when he does, Jason and I eat it up. They grow up so fast. I want Austin to know how much we LOVE him and how proud we are of him. He has very big dreams and I know he will achieve them. Austin loves to start businesses and find ways to make money. He has set such a great example for his siblings and they are so blessed to have him as their example. They love him so much! I can't believe he is going in to High School this year. WOW! We only have 5 years left before he goes on his mission. I am excited to watch him go through his High School years. We love you Austin!!! 


Sorry Austin I couldn't resist! Notice the blue tooth in his ear. He is sooo in to gadgets!

This is when we went to Ireland and we went to see the most beautiful castle!


Austin is always so willing to help with Emmie. He loves her so much

He is such an amazing pianist. I could listen to him all day. One of the things I love about going over to The Simas' for Sunday dinners, is listening to Austin play. It is so relaxing!


I love this picture! Jason bet Austin and his friend Tyler to wear speedos down to the beach on the 4th of July for $100. Guess what? They did and they were both so embarrassed! It was the funniest thing. It amazes me what teenagers will do for money!
