He's 15. That is the craziest thing to me.
Well, there are other craziest things too but this seems so very strange!
Here are 15 things I love about Smash, in no particular order:
He's fun!
He has a terrific sense of humor.
He can laugh at himself.
He is smart. (Too smart sometimes...)
He loves life!
He is loyal.
He is trustworthy.
He still likes me. (Remember, he's 15!)
He is great with kids.
He is independently minded. (Which is mostly good).
He is spiritual.
He likes to understand how things work; in all aspects of life.
He likes to earn money.
He can work really hard (when he wants to).
He cares about people, really cares about them and is happy to help people in need.
Well, that's 15 and I could go on and on...I hope I didn't miss any of the most important things.
Basically, I love this kid. All of him.
He is a great coach and teacher; the kids at the gym where he coaches absolutely love him!
I will always be forever grateful to have been blessed with my dear children.
Sharing a moment via video chat with Emily; she is celebrating with a dirt cup while Smash has his cake.
Happy day Ashton! May your future bring many "driving" opportunities!
Dad

Dear Ashton:
Sorry we are late in responding. We have been to the cabin with Uncle Scott and his daughter Hahna. It was really busy, but we took him to the airport and we are getting back to normalcy??? We hope you had a terrific birthday. You are a very special young man. Your mom's list was accurate. Grandpa and I love you very much

Wait... How did this happen? You're 15??? This cannot be! You have to stop growing up! But seriously Smash, I am proud of you. You are so amazingly smart and talented and funny. Happy birthday (a little late). I love you!
