Oh Man!

Jace-man!

This is one of Jace's nick names, and has been ever since he

was a little boy. Not quite sure how it happened...maybe because he has

always been like a little man. Wise, understanding and very perceptive.

That nickname has become more fitting with every passing year.

But whoa! Our precious little Jace-man is quickly becoming

..one very cool guy!

One of the great events of our summer was

celebrating this very cool guy's 12th birthday.

It was a milestone birthday because

the Jace-man became a preisthood man and was ordained a deacon

on Father's Day.

Lately, Jace has been told (quite often) that he's a Justin Bieber look-alike.

I don't know about that ( since I had to google J.B.) but

these are the things about Jace-man that I do know...

He is becoming quite the little golf-man.

Even scored a birdie on his birthday!

Wasatch Mountain Course - fifth hole.

He is a music-man. Guitar...

...and men's choir.

Jace is a part time mountain-man

and Scout!

He's an amateur sailor

and an expert student.

(Straight A Honor Roll)

Jace is this little monkey's uncle

as well as

an incredibly sweet brother...

...all six of his siblings would agree-he's a great man

to walk through life with!

Oh man!

Is it any wonder that we celebrate who Jace is becoming

and who Jace has always been!

We love you Jace-man. So glad you belong to us!

May all 12 of those birthday wishes come true!
