Pete is 13!


Pete is officially a teenager! Even though his fluctuating voice and hormones would tell you he's been a teen for awhile we can now consider him full fledged. Bring on the teen years!

Pete is a mix of humor, energy, oddball, ingenuity, intelligence, and kindness all in one. Pete has the biggest heart, and we love him like crazy.

Pete has grown a lot this past year. He's pushed himself with running and continues to go out this summer so he can't have a head start to his fall cross country season. He faced his first cut from sports with basketball last winter, but took it in stride as he does with many things. Pete is liked by many, he gets along well with everyone, and is a great leader. He has a great group of friends and is well liked by his peers and his teachers. Pete is very smart and got himself on the high honor roll the whole school year! Pete became Deacons quarm president at the beginning of the year and continues to impress us in how he leads and serves in his caring. 

Pete started his adventure with braces this spring and it's for sure been a crazy ride with having 9 broken brackets (only have been his fault) and a lot of extra visits since he's gotten them. He's suffering by eating virtually no crunchy food and avoids a lot of things he would love to / have normally eaten. 

This last month plus,  he's climbed rock walls without issue, gone on some crazy roller coasters, and cliff jumped with friends. He never would have done these things in the past, and it shows how much he's grown and continues to conquer and face the hard things in life. 

We love Pete something fierce. He's great at pushing buttons, and being our most physical kid, but it's what makes him our Petey Pete!
