Milo is 14
Milo is one of the most thoughtful and caring people I know. He’s always paying attention to how others are feeling, and he’s the kind of kid who naturally looks out for the people around him. He’s polite, respectful, determined, and genuinely one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet.
Some things never change… his love for creatures is still going strong. These days he has a special love for guinea pigs, and we’re just hoping he doesn’t always remember turning 14 as the birthday when his parents crushed his dreams by not getting him one. 😬 Even without a guinea pig, he’s still the best creature finder and catcher we know. If it crawls, hops, slithers, or flies, Milo can probably catch it.
This summer he also discovered a love for Monster Energy drinks (which his parents only occasionally allow ) and Dr Pepper slushies. It became pretty common to hear, “Will you take me to Circle K?” almost every day.
Milo is getting so strong these days, although he doesn’t always realize just how strong he is. Wrestling with his brothers has become a little more dangerous lately… and it usually ends with someone in tears.
We couldn’t be more grateful to be celebrating 14 years with this incredible guy. Happy birthday Milo. We love you more than you’ll ever know. ❤️

Spokane Summer 2026
Some of our favorite memories were the small everyday moments…
🍓 Early morning raspberry picking
🎡 Spokane Carnival where Camp got sick
🍦 Walks with Grandpa to Chester Store
⚾️ Backyard baseball & bug hunting
🎨 Polymer clay creations
❤️ Cousin time
🚤 Hanging with the Bushmans
🎬 And movie nights that went way too late

July 4th Prep
The girls were fully committed to their 4th of July prep. They made a patriotic cake and tackled the viral flag shirts. They spent hours cutting and sewing every strip of fabric. We loved seeing their creativity (and patience!) come to life. ❤️🤍💙
