Jacob and Claire hit a milestone birthday! We are so proud of these two and can hardly believe they are 16!
Claire is a bright, sweet and loving daughter. She has a strong testimony and personal drive. She made a goal last year to 'learn something from the scriptures each day' and has faithfully read and recorded her thoughts each night. She loves puzzles, reading, bubbles, and EVERYTHING about the How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack. She is the queen of the awkward hug.
Jacob is a fun, loving big brother. He specifically makes time for his little brothers. They have had phases of Star Wars Destiny, dice football, Lego football, backyard football, Pokemon, and all sorts of games. He is organized and excels at school. He is continuing to improve in his French horn and plays beautifully. He has a strong testimony and can't wait to serve a mission.
Jacob celebrated the next day by getting his DRIVERS LICENSE!!! As he was preparing to take the in car test, the 3 drivers before him failed. No nerves showing, he properly used his blinker, smoothly came to a full stop at each stop sign, and deftly maneuvered through the cones of the maneuverability section.
For his party, Jacob decided to take his friends to Full Throttle to go kart and throw axes.
Jacob happily (and appropriately) took the top position on the podium. Well, at least, when Jared wasn't in the picture! The boys had a great time racing.
In between go karting, they got to throw axes.
Manly men!!!
We followed up the fun with a yummy Mongolian Grill lunch.
