Happy Birthday Kannon!

by Candi Evans

Kannon is finally 14! He is so excited! Although, he thinks he is turning 16 because he wants to drive all of the time! We sneak him driving to Kevin & Cynth's or Darrel & Amber's & he hasn't gotten caught yet, but he probably doesn't look any smaller than me sitting in the driver's seat! Sometimes I wish he was 16 so he could drive, but yet I don't want him to really be that old! He has also hit another milestone - he is finally taller than me! He thinks he's so funny calling me "Shorty", but he is only 1 inch taller so far! He keeps hoping he will hit his growth spurt soon. We hope for him too!!!

Kannon is a great kid! He has always been such a laid back boy and really easy going. Nothing gets him too riled to easy. So far he has been a good teenager, not one of the scary ones you cringe at! And he knows he better stay that way! He is a lot of fun to be around & wants to make everyone happy. He has a fun sense of humor, between him & his twin cousin, Wade, they have kept us in stitches this last week!

Kannon has been the Deacon's quorum President this last year & we have been really proud of how responsible he has been with his calling. His leaders have told us a number of times how impressed they have been with him carrying out his duties and how he is with the other boys. He has definately learned how important it is to follow through with a task when you're asked to do something, because it drives him crazy when he has to remind the boys to do something he has asked. Hmmm, good life lesson there!

He played football & baseball this year & had a great year. It was so fun to watch him! I was sad when baseball ended, because they were so fun to watch & such a good group of boys. He has a lot of really good friends that are really good kids, both boys & girls! He & Tylee have had a lot of fun together this summer hanging out with friends. We are so glad they are here! He also loves to snowboard, he decided snowboarding was better than basketball for his winter sport. He is actually really good & we have a lot of fun together.

He is soooo excited to be going to High School! He can't wait! He went to football camp last week with the high school at Snow College & had a lot of fun & learned a lot too! He's not too excited about early morning Seminary tho, he's not what you would call an early riser! He definitely has Evans blood in him, he needs his sleep!

All in all, Kannon is a great kid & we love him so much! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KANNON! P.S. He was so excited he actually had some good pictures turn out when Noob took them for us!
