Justin's 12!

Justin turned 12 on Monday.  I can't believe it.  He is now in Young Men's at church and will be getting the priesthood!  So crazy and so exciting!  Because he was leaving for Scout Camp for the week at 4am on his birthday, we did a mini celebration the night before.  He doesn't like cake, so he requested cupcakes.  I know, I don't get it either.  :)  This year was the year he was to have a friends party, but he opted for the money it would have cost for that party and asked...ok, begged and begged and begged, for a cell phone.  We finally caved and he now has a cell phone, but we insisted that he not be locked into a 2 year plan, so we lucked out and a friend gave us her old phone and his present is we will pay each month through Christmas and then he has to pay for it himself (watch out...he'll be asking everyone for money for Christmas so he will be able to afford it).  Not being locked into a contract gives us the freedom to shut it off at anytime for any reason.  Makes me feel better.  :)  Anyway, he's a happy camper (literally...gone the entire week!).  Happy birthday, our wonderful, sweet son!  We love you so, so much!!!!!
