Birthday month continues around here!

It’s time to celebrate Sam turning 15!!! Holy !!! 15!!! Crazy.

Not sure how he went from being that toddler in diapers when I met him to THIS awesome guy!

Sam may be the youngest, but he’s got a lot of wisdom.

He has wisely learned from his older siblings what to do and not do (well, sometimes at least).

Here are 15 things we love about Sam:

• He has a great smile and is often smiling! He can be a grumpy teen but for the most part is a pretty jovial guy!

• He has a lot of interests and passions – including cars, music, F1, models, planes, skateboarding. He develops new ones every day! He loves to explore new passions.

• I’ve heard he’s become quite the little skateboarder. We laughed the other night when he came home with his shirt unbuttoned – opened up to his bare chest underneath – a true skater

• He loves his own unique music – which is a lot of old stuff. And he is really into records! He walks around listening to music all the time!

• He is entertaining – he can tell a good story! He can be pretty funny and fun too!

• He enjoys food and is the least picky eater that we have!

• He is a great little brother. He gets along with everyone, he loves learning from his older siblings, and is supportive of them in everything

• He is very appreciative – he is filled with gratitude and it’s so refreshing!

• He is a helper. He will help when asked – and even when not asked. He is considerate that way.

• He is curious – he likes learning new things and looking stuff up (just like his dad)!

• He is very social. He also has the gift to talk to people and make people feel comfortable. It can get him in trouble at school, but in life, it is a huge asset!

• He is a good sportsman – soccer, rugby, biking , even weight lifting. He is athletic naturally.

• He is kind and caring. He has a big heart and that shines through.

• He is energetic and enthusiastic. Although being a teen means a lot of sitting around on the couch rewatching “How I Met Your Mother” – he still can manage some enthusiasm for many things.

• His smartness – it’s in there… lol. It’s hiding a bit now in high school when his social life is flourishing, but he is intelligent and capable and hard working – “just needs to apply himself” (Ha – famous last words! ) But, he really truly is a smarty

He is an all around special guy and a joy to have around! We love him so much ! Happy Birthday Sam!!
