Jaxton Turns 14!

 Happy Birthday JAX!!!  

Can't believe our biggest kid is fourteen!  Happy Birthday Big Guy!  Covid has affected everything including birthday parties.  The plan was to have a bunch of his buddies over for a party but with Covid spreading like mad, that was not possible.  We helped him have a nice day though.

We have told him for years that he gets a phone at 14 years old.  So he kinda was expecting one.  We wrapped up an old iPhone 4 as a joke and he was pleasantly surprised and humble and grateful to actually have a phone.  Then we let him open a new iPhone SE and he then understood our joke and was stoked!  Clearly that was his favorite gift.

Here are some fun things about Jaxton at 14 years old:

1. Jaxton has his first job.  He began working for a small cotton candy business.  He has learned to spin cotton candy and comes home smelling like sugar every time he works.  He loves knowing a skill that most people don't know and he enjoys working for Lucy and Greg.  He started at $8 per hour and recently got a raise for his work ethic to $9 per hour.  Yay!

2. Jaxton is a boy scout and well on his way to earning his Eagle Scout Rank in about a years time.  He is finishing up his Life Rank in the next few months and he also was recently elected to the Order of the Arrow, which is an exciting honor within Boy Scouts.

3. Jax loves to eat cereal for just about any meal.  He loves rice bowls and ramen and seems to enjoy cooking these types of foods.  We get the Hello Fresh meals weekly almost and he will take a recipe card and go to town with the recipe.  

4. Jax is almost as tall as me!  His feet are just as big as mine and at times I will use his shoes or his mud boots.

5. Jaxton enjoys creating songs on a computer program.  His songs are pretty amazing.  He is very talented!!
