Well, Gigs is officially an adult!
Happy 18th birthday, Gigs!
Congratulations to my (once chubby) brown-eyed boy!
As our recent birthday tradition goes, we recreate
an old photo of us together:

Here are 18 things I love about my Nicholas Jones Nielson:
1. He is funny. So funny. Sarcastically funny- my kinda funny.
2. He has a compassionate heart- mostly for critters,
but still, he has a big heart.
3. He has remarkable eyes that are almost superhuman.
He can spot a caterpillar 40 feet away camouflaged on a flower.
4. He is good with children and anyone who has special needs.
5. The way he calls me "Steph".
6. His bedroom is a mix of mess, clutter, and beauty,
with flowers and plants growing in toilet paper rolls and old jam jars.
7. The way he can talk his way out of everything.
8. His long legs, cute hands, and wispy blonde hair.
9. His phone wallpaper is of us together, and he has a photo
of me in my softball uniform hanging on his bathroom mirror.
10. The fact that he owns 57 t-shirts
11. He is smart and learns quickly.
12. He is a creator, fidgeter, and collector
13. That he has a personalized license plate.
14. He knows how to work.
15. Honors God and the Priesthood power he holds.
16. He knows Jesus Christ and lives up to his privileges.
17. He loves to snuggle with his 'ol mom. Still.
18. He has a plan, a vision, a future, and I can't wait to watch
him go. GO, Gigs, GO!
Happy birthday, sweet boy!
