Mitchell turns 14

Can it really be that Mitchell is really 14 years old? It's true, and he's the greatest! We all just love Mitch so much. He's usually got a ready smile on his face, and he's so helpful. Whether he's sneaking into the pantry in search of candy (a.k.a. the "candy man"), reading text messages from his friends & girlfriends, or playing another intense video game, he's our hero! He is currently into playing his guitar, and basketball and wrestling are his top sports (besides video games - did I mention those?). Mitchell likes hanging out with his friends and occasionally with his brothers, and likes watching movies and basketball games (when his Jazz or Utes are playing!). M is so glad that summer's here and that school is OUT. He's leaving this coming Monday for some serious scout camping (180 HOT miles west of Houston - complete with scorpions and poisonous snakes), where he'll be "studying" reptiles & mammals, astronomy, wilderness survival, and rifle shooting. Here's to hoping M returns home sans weird rashes of the past, bad sunburn, mosquito bites, scorpion stings or any strange new pets!
