I can't believe it, but yes it's happening. Sean will be driving and dating!?!?!? I have to say, well ok brag about Sean. He is such a wonderful son! Literally from the time he was born, he has been the most easy going, brilliant minded, quick witted personality, and of course adorable child. We are so lucky to have him in our family.
Everything Sean does or shows interest in, he excels at....music, art, school, rubics cubes, computer knowledge, sports, etc, etc, etc. Over the years I have had many of his friends' parents compliment on the kind of boy Sean is and how good of a friend he has been to their son/daughter. It is so fun to watch him grow up and up, now standing at 5'10''!
Sean testing out his new drum sticks that he got for his Birthday. 
I made a gift basket with lots of Sean's favorite treats, the staples for any teenager like; peanut butter cups, Mountain Dew, Sunflower seeds, gum. Then I tied balloons to the package and attached a cute stuffed animal. I delivered it to the school and requested them to sing "Happy Birthday". I didn't do it myself because I wasn't trying to induce a heart attack having his mom sing to him, just wanted to embarrass him a little! It worked and he said the whole class joined in on the song! He called me to thank me and said he was very surprised. I think he kinda liked it.
My mom has a fun tradition that she has done with all my kids since they were little. She takes them out to dinner, their choice, then shopping for a Birthday gift. This means that they get exactly what they wanted. Sean and Emma went together, as their Birthdays are days apart and had a delicious Red Lobster dinner and fun shopping at the mall.
Saturday night we decided to go up to Ogden to do the IFLY indoor skydiving experience. Sean was a natural, of course! He thinks he's ready for the next step, like plane jumping!!!! Haili, Emma, and Scot also did it while Alex (was sick and had a headache) and I (had to get pictures) just watched.
Getting all the gear on
