Devin turns 14 on Sunday. He is so excited that he can barely stand it. I remember very well the day he was born. There was a terrible storm that hit Utah County. We were living in Springville and had to drive to American Fork. I really thought we were going to crash on the way there.
He was born early on December 7th, Pearl Harbor day as so many people reminded me. He has been such a joy to have as a son.
I remember when he was about 3, he got a basketball hoop for his birthday. He spent hours upon hours just shooting hoops. He was so tired but would not stop. If the ball rolled further than his grasp he would just cry until someone picked it up for him.
When he started kindergarten we bought him his first watch. It bothered him so much that not all the clocks were on the same time. He would set his watch to the one at home and than the one at school would be different by 1 or 2 minutes. He just didn't understand why they all couldn't be the exact same time. It bothered him enough that he stopped wearing the watch.
He is precise in the things he does. He is a serious boy and a deep thinker.
This year we have put him in a school that has really helped him find the love for learning again. He will come home and share with me the things he has learned. It is really great to see his love of learning rekindled. He is a boy that takes his priesthood responsibilities seriously. I am very thankful for that.. I am truly blessed to be given the stewardship of raising him.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEVIN!

How cute that he was so worried about his clock being different! I cant believe he is turning 14, crazy!
Where does time go? I remember coming to see Devin in the hospital when he was born and thinking "That's not a baby.... That's a toddler". He is growing into such a handsome young man! WOW! The older he gets the better looking he gets! LOVE YA DEV!
