Happy Birthday Sugar Bear!

Happy Birthday to our Sugar Bear!  Today my Stephen Wayne turns 15 and I can't believe it!  This boy is just a smart, fun loving, and passionate guy!  He probably takes most after the Stephenson side of the family in personality(kinda crazy).  He has always been mistaken for older than he is.  He's always been taller than most of the kids his age and all of his teacher's throughout elementary school always commented on how much older he seemed to be.   He recieved straight A's all throughout elementary school and was just an all around good kid and then middle school hit....and boy was that an adjustment period with lots of new emotions and experiences.  Then middle school ended and 3 things happened to Stephen.  1-he received his patriarchal blessing, 2- he attended EFY and, 3- his older brother (his idol) went on a mission.  And we got our Sugar Bear Back!  It was the wackiest and most wonderful thing that has ever happened.  It was like he was transformed overnight in just a few weeks.  Stephen Wayne Nelson is a pretty special kid and he makes me laugh everyday!  Thank Goodness!  Happy Birthday to our Sugar Bear!
