Austin had a very full 16th Birthday doing tons of stuff he loves. His birthday was on Saturday so it allowed us to pack a lot in. Austin started his day playing basketball for our ward young men's team. Following that he, Tanner and two friends played some tennis. They finished just in time to come home to a birthday breakfast spread of German pancakes with blackberry compote and maple syrup, bacon, and orange juice. Then Austin was off to another basketball game for a young men's team in the Vancouver North Stake. After a quick shower Austin took a few friends to Big Al's to bowl a few games, hang out in the game center and fill their tummies with munchies. When Austin got home from bowling Eric and I took him out to log some more drive time so he can get his driver's license SOON. We stopped at Red Robin's for his birthday burger. I don't know if I have ever heard the words "I am not hungry" ever escape Austin's lips, but they did during that dinner. He still found room to polish off the ice cream sundae they brought him though.
On Sunday Austin was ordained a Priest by Eric. Grandpa Tippetts came to our ward for the ordination. Grandma Tippetts joined us after church for Austin's birthday dinner of chipotle burritos. Following dinner Grandma G, Uncle Steve and Aunt Cathy came for brownies, caramel of course, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 16 doesn't get much sweeter than that. We sure love you, Austin. Happy Birthday!
