Peyton: Birthday Letter at 12

To my first born, my brilliant, gorgeous 12 year old boy, 

It's actually been a month (March 26) since we celebrated your twelfth birthday.  I'm still having trouble grasping the fact that it has been twelve years since you were born.  There are so many perks to being the first born, and so many, well what shall we call them...experiments.  I mean let's face we were kinda still kids ourselves when we brought you into the world and everything has been tried on you first, from foods to discipline to going to the doctor whenever you sneezed. There is so much you have actually taught us, and considering how amazing you are I guess we could say your handling our parenting experiments pretty well! 

Here is just a little glimpse of what we see of you a 12:

You read, ALL. THE. TIME. In fact, if you get in trouble at school it's because you have a book in your text book and are worlds away.  You love Greek Mythology, anything about Star Wars, and anything with scientific information.  (This is a shared love from Mom:)

You are a living breathing encyclopedia of Star Wars information.  Ask you any question about any ship or creature, or planet and you rattle it off like it's truth.  This makes your Dad and Papa very very proud.

You love to watch, How it's Made, The History Channel, and the extra DVD that tells you how the movie or cartoon was created (your little brother luvs this, and I quote, "Mom make him let me watch the reeeal movie")

You make straight A's...you never study.  We are in awe of how intelligent you are, a gift from God, surely, because ya didn't get it from either of us!

You like baseball and golf most, and spend a lot of time analyzing your golf shot. 

You collect coins, and have books and folders full of them.

You always have something to say, you always know something about everything...and 99% of the time your right!  You soak up information like a sponge!

(not to embarrass you But..) You still won't go to bed without giving me hugs and kisses, a fact I cherish and hope you never grow out of.

We are both so proud of you and the young man you are turning out to be.  Your future is open bright in front of you and we can't wait to see what you do with it!
