Zeke is 12 years old! What a special birthday and what a great boy! Zeke turned 12 on a Saturday and was given the priesthood the next day, and a week later he passed the sacrament for the first time. What a great day for me as a mom to have one boy blessing and one passing the sacrament.
Zeke is a great kid! He is always full of life and energy. He gives everything he does 100%. He is also very kind. There have been multiple occasions where adults have stopped to let me know an act of kindness they witnessed. Zeke truly is a good hearted kid.
Zeke is also beginning to win over the girls, with those big dimples of his!
From day one Zeke was either the happiest baby or the saddest baby, there was not much in between. Even to this day he either seems to be bouncing off the walls or asleep, it's never a dull moment with that kid! In the picture below he is sporting an orange julius smile (which I can't seem to remember how it happened, but that might be for the best).
We cant do presents without doing "heavy heavy hangover!"
I never knew a 12 year old boy could be so excited about clothes! All he wanted was a Lovell Bulldogs jacket and a Nike Elite jacket. At least he is easy to please!
And then there's the cake.... skittles..... I am not sure what he was more excited for, the skittles or the jacket!
Zeke was able to wrestle in middle school this year, and he did awesome! He seems to be a natural. This was his first year to ever wrestle, ever, and he took 4th place at the best of the best for our region. This was quite the accomplishment! However, he is still sold on basketball. . . even though his coach is convinced he was built to be a wrestler! Here is a quick video we put together with some of his highlights from the season.
We love you Zeke!!!
I hope Axel turns out like Zeke, they seem to have the same energy and ease to please!! I'm sure Zeke could be great at whatever he wants, it's in his genes!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super kid. We think he is wonderful! We sure do love your family.
