Our lives our blessed because of Mitch's birth

Happy 17th Birthday Mitch!!!

It is hard to even imagine what our family would be like without Mitch.

Who would:
give each member of our family 10 minute hugs and snuzzle us.
show us a sense of style
play the guitar and piano to us
give advice and leadership to each sibling in the family
treat his mom like a queen and his sisters like princesses
have his brother for his best friend
choose to have family time over friend time
treat girls and women with the utmost respect and be a perfect gentlemen
make children love them and get on their level and have fun with them
bring magic in our lives and stick tricks on the ceiling
be our amazing gardener
take care of his brother and drive him to school and pick him up from friends on the weekend
really care about your day
work on eating healthy and getting good exercise
tell his parents they are the best all the time
be a friend to everyone
always stiving to better himself
put the Lord first
prepare for his mission years before he is going to leave
be responsible with his chores and never complain
run errands for his mother whenever she needs something
be a loyal friend
call or text his siblings just to let them know how much he loves them
give endearing nicknames to his mother, and sisters
notice the little things in life, like the beauty around him
joke, tease, and have fun
lives life by making good choices and encourages others to do the same
look only on the best in people and makes others feel good about themselves

Giving Mitch a little help blowing out his candles with him!


Girls came over to visit and Breea even wrote a song for him and came over to sing it. If we didn't know they were such good friends we would have been a little worried since the line, "I love you Mitch", was sang about 10 times. These girls have been his good friends for years. Mitch is a very loyal friend.
