Birthday #9 and Feeling Fine

Seth had a birthday three weeks ago to the day. I'm not actually that tardy in posting this, since we have been celebrating his birthday for three weeks. He has had quite the birthday bash. Imax movie, bowling, shopping trips, swimming and hopefully tomorrow, the long awaited for - family soccer game. It is hard to just put together a soccer game at home- when you don't have any grass.
This year Seth got a bunch of gift certificates in lieu of presents. He took them all and taped them to his chin. One of his presents was getting his room decorated. We painted it the new BYU blue. I'll have to take a picture and post it soon.
Seth was the mastermind and chief engineer of his cake. He wanted to replicate one of our family soccer games. He found candy land pieces, and taped our names to the back of them. He chose coconut flavored cake. For his birthday meals he chose: biscuits & gravy, BLT's and corn chowder, and Hawaiin Haystacks.
Seth looks and acts so much like his dad, we were thinking that he should have been named Brig the younger. Several years ago, Brigham was reading in the bible and came across Seth's name, the definition of it being- in the perfect image of his father. We knew it meant- in the image of God, but to have it stated the other way- just made it so much more fitting for him. Here are some things we LOVE about Seth!
EASY GOING- very few things ruffle his feathers!
Always HAPPY- well 98% of the time!
Always SMILING! (see above)
PLAYFUL, CHEERFUL ADVENTUROUS
TALENTED- a great artist. He loves to create things. He gets an idea in his head and makes it work. He is very good at solving problems.
SMART- he has been the easiest kid to teach cause he just GETS it. The first time. He can figure out numbers in his head- faster than the speed of light. He is an amazing reader.
ATHLETIC- pick a sport- and he can master it. Basketball, soccer- he is the star of the team.
KIND HEARTED- he is so good with Kai-practically my best babysitter.

There isn't anything this kiddo can't do. We adore you Seth and are so glad you are in OUR family!
WE
LOVE
YOU!
Being a brother is better than being a Superhero!
