oh and i did get the easter package but not the birthday one.....
***Birthday message to Riley from Dad and Mom
We sent him a package for his birthday with shoes, fun stuff, candy, notes, etc... It never arrived...
Dear Son,
Happy 20th birthday! We hope your Tuesday birthday is filled with love and joy and thoughts of what a great 20 years you have experienced! We hope spoooo much that your birthday package arrives in time! But if not, still have a great day and when your package arrives you can have extra fun!
Dad says your teen play around years are over! Welcome to adulthood! Now you can have fun adult years too! Our thoughts of you this week are happy, cherished thoughts of a happy, sweet baby, a curious, content toddler, a little tough boy who kept up with his brothers in back yard baseball and anything else they could do, a good, fun young teen who developed many attributes of respect, humor, kindness, sportsmanship, friendship, responsibility and honor. You developed talents of good grades, baseball and athleticism, water sports, helping with all family outings, taking care of things you have or we let you use, creativity and much more. But the most important along the way was developing your own sense of right and wrong, obedience, love, patience, empathy a wonderful spirit, awesome decisions and a strong testimony of your own. Now you are a powerful yet humble missionary, a beloved son, a great young man and person! We love you and are so proud of you! Our lives have been richer, more fun and full because of you!
Okay now dad says mom has a lot of big words and writes way better than me! Dad says dido to what I said. Dad noticed that you are approximately the same age difference as dad is with grandpa approximately 29 and 30 years! Which means you are still wet behind the ears but I am very proud of the incredible wisdom you have all ready. And I miss you so much you make me cry, but I didn't because I'm a full grown man ( with a low T problem!)
So long story short we like you!
Love Dad and Mom
