Brendan

This is Brendan...He has just turned 16 and is the middle child. I have decided to start with him first. He needs to be first every once in awhile. He is the middle child, second son with a sister behind him. He is full of life, energy and wit. He makes life in our home fun, exciting and never boring.

Brendan loves to sing and this is him singing at Barnes and Noble for a Fund Raiser. Music is an important part of his life. He really knows songs from all genres and the singer who sang those songs. He has learned to play the piano and is still learning. He hopes to learn how to play the guitar this summer. His favorite thing to do is to sing loud in his room. I am so glad that I have patient neighbors.



Brendan also loves to take pictures. He is a fun person who likes to be himself and find the extraordinary. Brendan can find humor and beauty if many things. He also loves to go to Salvation Army and find random T-shirts that help him stand out. This shirt is Dr. Blake and at the bottom it says no cavity club...we have never been to this dentist but he found it to be a cool shirt.






This is Brendan at our Stake EFY. It was 3 days in Sonora and he had a great time. The youth were divided into groups and he was in the Blue group. He has a strong testimony of the gospel and a very strong desire to do the right thing. He has a great heart and is the kind of person that is very humble and nice.



This is Brendan at a service project for church. We helped clean up a senior citizen retirement village. They weeded, sweep cob webs down and picked up trash. It is amazing to see this young people so willing to serve and help others.





This is Brendan and Felicia and the Loves in Arizona. Troy had gone on a mission with the Hmong people. He had clothes for us to try on. Our family is currently serving in the Hmong ward. Brendan really loves it there so much and feels a part and accepted by the youth. He has gotten attached to all his friends there. It has been a huge blessing in his life.
