All grown up

 With the Cutlers kids staying at our house and all the kids playing downstairs, we decided to play upstairs. We busted out some of our favorite games and taught them to Tim. He's really growing up. And we had so much fun playing with our boy, like we'd play with friends.

Finally

 This kid is seriously handsome.
Seriously.
I love this cut.

Good Old oldies

Tim loves 80's and 90's music.

So, Jeff busted out all our old CD's and the two had a hay-day putting them all on Tim's computer. He's set.

He looks so happy

He says he loves his hair.

This picture does not look like it.

Christmas at School

 Sydney's school had an ugly sweater day. I'm sad we didn't get a picture of the cute "silly" sweater we made. (she thought it was very silly to want to wear an ugly sweater, so we called it silly) Anyway, the sweater day came and Syd wasn't feeling well and stayed home from school. Sad. But the next day she felt much better and she still wore her sweater.

 The last day of school for the HS was a make up day. Tim had nothing to make up so he stayed home. I love this 17 year old of mine. I asked him if he wanted to go to his siblings school parties and of course he did! Seth and Sydney were so excited to see their brother!

Brace News

Tim's brace doctor at Primaries is no longer with Primaries. Tim is awfully close to being (hopefully) done!! But we weren't sure we wanted to drive back down to SLC to get a new doctor, so we went to Jeff Johnson, an orthopedic guy in our ward. He did x-rays and took our information and agreed that it was time to test a brace break (yay!!!). So for the next three months Tim does not have to wear his brace! We were both pretty pumped.

Tim at 17

My Tim. He's the cutest. We spent his seventeenth birthday in Evanston with lots of family.

From Landon

From Grandma

These two are so cute together.

So much love.

I have the cutest nieces and nephews. They all sat around Sydney and her Dora house and played and played with her. What teenagers do that?? They are the best!

Then we made my family play pie in the face!

Tres Leches-- his favorite!

And then we got to have dinner with the Lehi Atkinson clan and grandma and grandpa! So much love and so much family!

Jeff was on a soccer trip so we Facetimed him for gift time!

I love this kid.

He is loving and kind.

He is the smartest person I know.

The best big brother!

And I can't believe he is somehow already 17 years old.

Working Man

This working boy is so loved. The people he works with love him so much. I had to go in the office one when I dropped him off and Sister Lish went on and on about how much everyone loves working with Tim and how much they appreciate him!

I love this kid, but it's so fun to hear when other people do too. Also, he's learning so much and gaining better people skills. It's good stuff. So thankful for the experience.

Day with my Tim

Tim's turn for a date with momma. We went to the High School and grabbed his schedule. We bought him a shirt and some shoes and then we went for a treat--Tim's choice! He picked his favorite... Arby's.

Ian. I love this kid. He's a good friend to my boy. They have physics together! yeah... physics. Ugh. His schedule is so tough and he's excited. I'm a proud momma. He's taking Physics, Calculus, Spanish 3, Robotics... yeah, easy peasy--or not. :)

T&S

It's a brotherly kinda love. :)
