15!! Seriously?!

Blake had been asking for  an iPhone FOREVER, and did not pass up an opportunity to send Mom and Dad a messed up text to reiterate the fact that his old phone wasn't working.  Then, just a few days before his birthday there was a youth conference and, believe it or not, they asked the youth to bring their smart phones, so that they could learn to do indexing on their phones.  So we got coersed into giving it to him early. 

Paige and Jason helped me decorate his room.

Our Favorite things about Blake:

Megan:

When he compliments me on my clothes (which is rare:). He makes me laugh!

Paige:

I like his skills at wrestling and having him play wrestling.

He is nice and funny!

Jason:

He is funny and he is good at wrestling. He's a good big brother. 

Dad: 

Blake makes me laugh and also is a hard worker when he is faced with a task.  I also like that he can fix all of our computer messes.

Mom:

Blake makes me laugh too! There is never a dull moment with Blake around, and he is an overall good kid!  Love you Blake!
I must make a mean roast and mashed potatoes, because 3 of my 4 kids want that for their birthday dinner, and Blake is one of them.

Stylin some of his new clothes...and shoes.  (color coordination is the thing, even though he is color blind!:)- this is a joke aroud here, and if there is a task he doesn't want to do, or something we don't want him to do, it is because he is color blind. Even though he may be slightly color blind, and although he's lived this long without any trouble, it is hurting his self image to think he has this mild ailment.  I told him he can just call everything "Purple-Pink" like Grandpa Hansen.;)

We love Blake and can't believe that he is 15!! It wouldnt' be the same without you!!
