Brenner Turns 11

We recently celebrated Brenner's 11th birthday and in keeping tradition, here are 11 things about Brenner at eleven. 

but first, look how cute he is...

(Brenner helped me write these, so they're extra witty)

1.  He's a bit of a genius on the piano.  He's already better than me and getting better everyday.  He really loves it which helps because he'll practice all day on his own.

2.  He's funny and handsome (according to him). 

3.  He can river dance. 

4. Jimmy Fallon is his spirit animal. 

5.  He's basically Tony Stark trapped in a kid's body. 

6.  He adamantly wants to be successful and have his own company, including his name on the side of a building. 

7.  Currently his favorite quote is - "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." 

- Winston Churchill

8.  He just completed his Arrow of Light for Cub Scouts and Advanced to Boy Scouts.

9.  He loves to swim, especially underwater. 

10.  He cried when he found out I was having a girl. (Seriously, so sweet)

11.  He mostly eats fruit.  Definitely his food group of choice!

We love you, Brenner!!
