Why do I feel so much older knowing that I have a 16 year old now? I don't know---there is just something about the number 16 . . . driving, dating . . . it's crazy! I still can't believe my Kohler is 16 years old!

| Hailey made Kohler a picture and wrapped it all by herself. How awesome is that! |
I asked Kohler what he wanted to eat for dinner and of course, he said, "Steak." So, we grilled steak out in the 115 degree weather and then opened presents. He still had football practice on his birthday so we had to wait until later in the evening to celebrate. How does he practice football in helmet and pads in that kind of heat?? Kohler says it makes him stronger. Still . . . I worry about him out there!

| I am so glad Kohler likes to give hugs. They are the best! |
Kelsey wrote him the most incredible letter. It was so touching that it made Tom and I well up with tears. Kelsey really loves Kohler and wants to have a better relationship with him. Right now, they get along--they never fight (unless Kohler is bugging her incessantly and won't stop--then she gets upset at him! ha ha) But I think Kelsey is hoping that the older they get, the more he will talk to her and do things with her. Maybe that will happen more next year when she is in high school. I think the letter really meant a lot to Kohler.

Notice how small the cake is----we can't have yummy cake like that lying around here! It was a very tiny ice cream cake and we all devoured it in one night!

Kohler is such a great kid. I am so proud to be his mom. He does have his rough days that about make me and his father go crazy, but still we love him like nothing else and we are so glad he came to our home!! Happy 16th Birthday Kohler!
