Something wonderful happened....

on April 17th, 2011!  Jace turned 14!!!

FOURTEEN!!!
CATORCE!!
QUATORZE!!
VIERZEHN!!

 Where has the time gone! I wanted to out his baby picture on here but with the basement in an upheavel the picture box was buried! He was the cutest little baby! Strawberry blonde hair that was so soft and about 2 inches long!!! I remember when the nurse brought him back in after she had cleaned him all up and bathed him she said, "I have done all I can do to make his hair lay down"! It looked just like a new born baby chick...so soft, fine, and sticking straight up in every direction! I remember just rubbing my chhek against his little head and blowing in his hair cause it would just move and stay sticking straight up!  It was so soft and fluffy! And even to this day when he washes his hair it's still baby soft!!!

It was a low key day! It fell on a Sunday and he didn't want to do much! He did want his dad to take the day off {which he gladly did} because he was going to be ordained a Teacher in Young Mens! He really wanted to have his dad set him apart and Justin was able to stand in also! That just brought tears to this mama's eyes!! John did wonderful and gave him a very special blessing!! We celebrated with a yummy dinner and then everyone came over for cake and ice cream! H got some new shorts, a shirt, a golf shirt, and enough money to buy a season golf pass and a new putter!!! He was way excited about that!!!
Here's a year in review since his last birthday...
