Happy Birthday Dallin

I can't believe how fast time has passed. My kids get older and taller by the minute (In Dallin's case by the second - he is so tall!!!) Dallin turns 16 today, so i thought it would be appropriate to mention 16 great things about Dallin. We are so proud of him, at what a handsome and smart boy he has turned out to be.
1. He's working on his eagle project that he put a lot of thought and effort into. He's gathering all of the lost and found items left at the local schools, cleaning them up and donating them to a local charity.
2. He's a self motivator. Homework, chores, does them on his own. (I only have to yell once or twice with him, all the other boys at least 5 or 6 times) and has taught himself how to play the piano. Good job Dallin!
3. So smart. Nothing but good reports from his teachers.
4. He loves to be the life of the party. Always is in the middle of all social events.
5. Has embraced his Mexican Heritage. (if you don't know the story I'll share it on another occasion)
6. Awsome light bulb changer and getter of all thing up high. He always lends a helping hand.
7. Kind.
8. Honors his priesthood.
9. Obedient (when it really counts)
10. Passionate about what he believes in.
11. Happy and loves to make others happy.
12. Loyal and a good friend to his brothers and sister. (though occational love taps are involved)
13. Has always had a tender heart and stood up for what was right.
14. Funny.
15. Full of energy, oh so full of energy.
16. He's a part of our family and we couldn't be the Davis' without him.

We love you Dallin and hope you have a great Birthday!!!

Happy birthday, cuz! I can't believe he's 16. I can't remember if it was Dallin or Kenyon that had this conversation with my mom, but one of them folded a burrito like a pro and my mom commented on that and Dallin/Kenyon turned around to her and said, "DUH...I'm Mexican!" LOL...I just remembered that when you mentioned Dallin was proud of his Mexican heritage. :o)
