Kason turned twelve......
I still can't believe it!
I am not old enough to have a 12 year old.
My first born - who made me a mother cannot actually be 12!
I don't want him getting any older.....not one bit (he doesn't like it when I always say that).
He received the Aaronic Priesthood. His Dad gave it to him, through a blessing. He is passing the sacrament (and is so extremely handsome doing so). I am so proud of the choices he has made.
I love him so much!
He has given me my identity, my happiness, my world, my family, my everything.
He is the one who taught me how to really love, how to worry, how to give, how to serve others, how to survive on less sleep, how to rejoice, how to cry, how to be infinitely proud.....He made me a mother.
A role that I cherish dearly with all of my heart.
And for that, I am eternally grateful for him.
Thanks for coming to our family Kas.....it would not be the same without you.
Some of my favorite things about Kason:
- he is determined and responsible
- loves his sisters and brother with all of his heart (even though he teases them relentlessly)
- worries about others' feelings
- wants to do what is right, and can't last a minute if he has done something wrong without telling me
- is extremely bright
- very coordinated
- loves all sports.....especially basketball
- plays on competitive baseball, soccer, and basketball teams
- wants to be busy 24/7 (and does a pretty good job doing so)
- loves to read
- is a great pianist - even though he does not enjoy practicing
- teases everyone around
- loves to hunt...and even got a shotgun for his birthday. (No, this was not my idea - but it is a long "Larsen tradition", and Brandon INSISTED it was necessary.)
- respects girls (especially now that he thinks they are cute)
- can't wait to have a cell phone (and is trying each day to persuade me into getting him one.....not working)!
- loves the Dallas Cowboys almost as much as his Dad
- helps without being asked
- is a great listener
- was so excited to get braces on
- loves music
- worries like his mom (not a good trait, however)
- is an amazing student, and loves to be challenged
- was so excited that I actually let him have a slumber party with his friends for his birthday. (He has only been asking for 5 years straight)
- still lets me hug and kiss him....even in front of his friends
Happy 12th Birthday Kason! Bring on the teenage years!!
