I cannot believe that my oldest is 12. I could not have asked for a better first child. He has been not only an amazing example to us as parents, but also to his siblings.
Pictures tell a better story than I could... Jonas (and the rest of us) had a great (and busy) day!
Jonas asked to go to the temple on his birthday.
Bishop Claar helped make that happen with interviews and priesthood ordination.
Cari Winn watched our other children.
Thanks, thanks, thanks!
Leslie watched Reuben at the temple.
She is a great sister, and will make a wonderful mom someday!
Jonas had some of his friends over for the evening.
Jonas had an great year that we captured in board game/cake format (lots of cake leftover, come on over for some sugar!)
We are so happy to have him in our family! We can't wait to see what this next year brings...

What a GREAT first son... will you adopt Benjamin for the next 9 years ?? Just kidding! Happy Birthday Jonas! Have to say you do have some awesome parents too!
WOW- this makes me feel really old. Didn't you just get married-like yesterday. So weird how quickly time flies.
Great Birthday for a truly great young man. So happy that we were able to share a bit of it.
What a awesome kid, and an example to all of us! How wonderful that he wanted to go to the temple for his birthday, that kid knows whats important, and that's a reflection on his great parents too!
I'm so happy to be Jonas' Mam-ma! His ears should have been burning all day Saturday and Sunday since all I could talk about to ANYONE was how wonderful he is! Jonas, you are well and truly loved by MANY people!
