Cavin's 14th Birthday!

Cavin turned 14 this past week. He is getting so grown up and is towering over me. It's so sad! The night before his actual birthday he played his first Timberwood soccer game of the season. They played their rival West Lake who is typically really hard to beat. They won and we were all super excited!

He played great defense and his grandparents and Aunt Natalie got to come and support him and take him out to ice cream for an early birthday treat after.

On his birthday morning he got the pleasure of going to school :) He likes school and so I don't think it was too bad.

We had a birthday donut and I brought him lunch to school.

After school it had been raining, so all the soccer practices for all the kids were cancelled. We were able to eat dinner together, play games, and open presents. 

He got a phone which he was excited about. 

Some games, a couple Nintendo games, and a few board games. 

He got an FC Koln jersey from his grandparents in Germany, and soccer shin guards and cleats from his other grandparents. 

We ate his favorite red velvet bundt cake.

Then we played games. 

Cavin is a good kid! He is now 5'9 1/2 and 150 pounds. He has grown a lot this past year, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. He is a lot more confident and not afraid to speak up or make people laugh. He has a very funny sense of humor and we loves his comments or jokes. He is the top student at TMS and if he gets below a 98 he redoes his work or test :) haha. He is very intelligent and has become a hard worker. He practices his cello often and just loves to sit and play. He is still in the chamber orchestra and plans on playing in high school. He is reffing soccer for money and playing for the school. His favorite color is orange, his favorite food is white macaroni and cheese or cheeseburgers. He loves Fanta or Flirt drinks and loves to sneak snacks from the pantry ;) He is still best buddies with his little brother and I love watching them together. He has a good testimony and works hard to fulfill his calling. He is thoughtful of others and kind, and his interest in girls and being social has definitely increased this year! We love Cavin and are so proud of who he is and who he is becoming! We hope it's an awesome year for him!
