Colton turns 18!!!

On June 10th, Colton turned 18.  It was really hard for me to believe, but it is true.  In a couple of months he will be leaving to go to UVU in Orem Utah.  He is living in an apartment with one of his friends and some random strangers.  I am so excited for Colton to begin this adventure of his life.  I know he will do really well in college. Colton loves to learn and is highly intelligent.  Colton is such a compassionate young man and hurts whenever he sees a friend, stranger or family member hurting. He will do anything to help others, even when it is not in his best interest.  I have learned so  much from Colton.  One of the things I think I have learned the most from him was expressing gratitude. Colton is one of the most grateful people I have ever met.  He remembers to thank other for the little things and the small things.  He is also one of the most genuine people I know.  Colton is also one of the most honest people I know.  He isn't afraid of expressing how  he feels.  You always know where you stand with Colton.  Happy 18th Birthday Colton.  We are so glad you are a part of our family!
