Please tell me HOW? How does one not take any pictures of their kid on his birthday? On his 16th birthday! I am crying inside because I feel like we completely failed at the proper capturing of his holiday.
Mark turned 16 but he didn't want a big party, a get together, a big family anything. We had to respect his wishes but I so wish we would have made a bigger deal about his birthday.
Noah and Tommy came over in the evening for some ice cream and a quick hang out as Mark was going to the stake dance that evening and then we were leaving for Hawaii early next morning.
I am glad he still has these good friends although they don't hang out with each other nearly as much as they used too,
Well, even without the big hurrah, Mark says he had a great birthday, especially because he got his coveted fancy pickleball paddle for $100! He seemingly has everything he needs and wants very little so he is already beginning to be quite tricky to shop for.
And here are the annual questions for the newly baked 16 year old Mark:
Height: 6’ 2''
Favorite sport: tennis
Favorite sport to watch: tennis
Favorite Book: Hunger Games
Favorite movie: Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning
Favorite Color: Blue
Hobbies: Pickleball
When I grow up, I want to be a tennis or pickleball player😂
We absolutely love Mark! He is a chill dude who doesn’t waste his breath on any chit chat (unless it’s texting friends (girls too)). He is ambitious and hard working, has quiet confidence about him as well as an aura of calm. He doesn’t rush and doesn’t stress and gets things done...when he doesn’t forget the list of things to do. Mark is still excelling at school and is excited for his “old” B16 year of playing tennis tournaments. He is very busy but still helps around the house and participates in the church youth activities and service projects. The most frequent compliment I hear about Mark is how kind he is!
Happy 16th Birthday, Mark!
