Happy 12th Birthday, Derek







Today our grandson Derek is 12 years old. Wasn't he just the cutest little kid? He has grown into a very handsome young man now and has many adventures and challenges ahead of him.

Derek will enter West Jordan Middle School this fall. He plays baseball and basketball and loves both of them. Derek practices hard and has lots of ability to do well in sports. He will be on the All-Star Team in his league this summer.

This grandma thinks Derek is one of the most polite young men she knows. He is kind to his younger sister Megan and patiently teaches her to play baseball.

Derek has lots of friends and teachers love him. He is a good student and also respectful.

One of Derek's favorite hangouts with me is Wendy's. He and I have spent many fun lunches there during off-track time from school.
