. . . happy birthday to a. davis romney . . .

***disclaimer/warning:

. . . i'm telling you straight up . . .

if you do not wish to

see/know a lot

about my favorite son,

please close this page now . . .

it's very hard for me to believe

that my youngest child

andrew davis romney

was born nineteen years ago today.

{he has let us know that someday,

when he's famous/important,

he wishes to be known as a. davis romney}

. . . he's shown here

modeling his blessing outfit . . . . . . very quickly, he became

chubby/darling . . .
. . . & always stylish, as shown here

~ at age 2 ~

in this gymboree ensemble,

complete with functional suspenders . . .

. . . gotta love the patchwork denim

& double-laced basketball shoes . . .

. . . he ♥loved♥ sporting

the bowl cut . . .
. . . and posing for photos

without being prompted . . .

. . . he pretended to

like baseball . . .

{it was a lie}

. . . now showing

~ a tommy hilfiger dress shirt ~

on his baptism day . . .. . . he has spent his whole life

being {mostly} adored/slash . . .

. . . tortured by

his three older sisters . . .

{he's also the boy version of amanda ~ exactly}

question: wouldn't he have made

a cute little girl?

answer: yes

. . . before we knew it,

somehow he turned into a

high school sophomore . . .

. . . & a proud/amazing

member of the

mhs jackrabbits

basketball team . . .

{he has an award named after him}

. . . and {where did the years go?} . . .

. . . a senior! . . .

. . . then he had the nerve

to go ahead & graduate

{with honors} . . .

. . . along with his

adorable friends . . .
. . . i hope he enjoyed

watching general conference

last october ~ eating donuts . . .

. . . drinking mountain dew & sleeping . . .

{because the next time he watches conference

will be three days after he enters the mtc}

question: what do you get a boy

{who'll be leaving soon}

for christmas?

answer: a wii

{to leave behind for uncle brent and tate}

. . . and ties . . .

. . . we'll miss him ruining . . .
. . . our family christmas photos . . .
. . . because he's leaving in three weeks

to serve in the

mexico mexico city north mission . . .

. . . this {un}professional missionary-ish photo

will have to do until next saturday

when amanda, a real pro

will work her magic

~ you know ~

so his portrait can hang

on the mother's wailing wall

at the church

for the next two years . . .. . . happy birthday drewski . . .

i'm so proud of you

& you are all i could ever

want in a son!

♥love you♥
