Stephen is 10

Stephen's birthday this summer turned him into an old man.  Or maybe it just turned James into an old man.  Stephen is now in the double digits!  And is now old enough to light his own candles.  He is growing up into such an amazing young man and is a real strength to our family.



12 things we love about Stephen at age 10:

1.  Stephen is very creative.  He loves to take pictures like this.


2.  Stephen is a very hard worker.  He is a great help to James and I.
3.  He takes care of our rabbits everyday, feeding and watering them.
4.  He has broken his left arm twice in a different place each time.  He was very tough and brave both times.
5.  Stephen really enjoyed working in the garden and was sure to check for and pick anything that was ripe.



6.  Stephen loves to go fishing.  Maybe even more than James does.
7.  He learned about Idaho History in 4th grade and loved it!  He enjoys history of all kinds.
8.  He loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor.
9.  Stephen quite often wears his skunk hat around the house.
10.  Stephen likes to draw ships.
11.  Stephen is getting better and better at playing the trumpet.
12.  He is very patient with his younger sisters and brother.
