Howie is 12!

Once again, we get to celebrate this wonderful boy.  He continues to be a source of joy, laughter and peace in our family.  I often look at this young man and smile.  He works hard, he doesn't complain, he is grateful and gracious.  He notices when people need help and always jumps in to lend a hand.  He is the newest deacon in our ward, a big middle schooler, and quickly moving through Boy Scouts.  Oh how we love Howie!

Today he requested doughnuts for breakfast, BLT's for lunch and hamburgers for dinner.  


Matt made him a pretty hilarious Dungeons and Dragons themed treasure hunt.  This made Howie's day!  I would like to insert here that Matt is awesome. 


Howie overcame some strange creatures and found his presents in the garage.


Howie loved his new watch from Grandma and Grandpa Bentley.  He has been timing things all day long!


We loved getting some new clothes.  Or at least acted like he did!


And he's excited to use some of the new hiking and camping gear from Grandma and Grandpa Marshall.  What is not pictured are all the sharp items he got - a hatchet, a knife, a machete and something else that I can't remember right now.
