He is going to die when he sees this picture. I stole it off of his before and after P90X pictures! Yes Mitch I have tickets!
Mitch is 16 today! Wow!How do I even begin to describe the feeling of gratitude we all have for Mitch's birth. I remember that day like it was yesterday, holding that sweet little angel boy directly from heaven in my arms. Everyone that knows Mitch knows what an amazing young man he is. He is truly the most amazing teenager! He is his sisters and brother's best friend. He makes you feel better about yourself for just knowing him. He always has a hug to give you! He is so full of love for life!
He was always such a happy baby. He talked constantly as a child and is still just as social. Tonight his young men leader told me he broke the record for having the most girls at an Eagle project. He definitely has a following! It was so neat to see him in action with his Eagle project. He is a great leader and knows how to delegate. Besides the fact that I loved all of the one on one time we got together running all of the errands for his project. Mitch I am so proud of you! Thanks for being my example. He has such a strong testimony and love for his Savior. He always stands for truth and righteousness! He is a leader for good! He is also a very talented musician. He recently wrote a song for his sister Laurisa and played it on the guitar for her. It was definitely a tear jerker for this mother. I love how much he loves his family. Mitch we are so blessed that you were born into our family. We celebrate your life today and every day!!!
Mitch woke up to his siblings making homemade crepes, then after church we celebrated as a family. All his friends came over tonight for an ice cream bar with all his favorite toppings!
One of Mitch's favorite presents was the present given by his brother Jake. It was a poem, it goes as follows:
SERVICE
The gift of service is an amazing thing
You can not describe the joy it brings
The measure of love is so immense
when one kind deed will recompense
To show my endless love for you
I'll give this to show I'm true
A Saturday filled with endless fun
You will do no chores, you will play in the sun
While I will cheerfully take the weight
Because you were born on this marvelous date
Happy B-day Mitch! I love you with all my heart
Love, Jake

Mom,
I must admit i have the most beautiful mother in the entire world. You mean the world to me mom. I was a little shcoked when i saw my OLD p90x picture on here :) You are so wonderful. This gift of putting this on your blog means so much. I'm so thankful for the person you have helped me become and for the help you have given me to feel so close to my Heavenly Father. I don't know what i would do without you and my wonderful family you have brought to this earth. Well and married. I will always treat girls as beautiful daughters of God as i know they are. You have raised me in such a gentle and loving way and i cannot express how much it means to me to be your son.
Loves.
