John Kael Heaps was born eight years ago on January 8th. He was baptized last Saturday and it was so fun to be there. I am proud of this kid. I really got to know him this past year since I lived with him and his wonderful family. Although John was the one who woke me up most mornings with his high pitched screams and squeals, I love him! In the 8 months I lived there these are the first memories that come right to my mind when I think of John:
-Watch/listening to him read the scriptures and seeing him improve.
-He would write his name like this " John!!!!!!!!!!" He loved explanation points.
-He would spend hours in his room playing legos and would make some of the coolest things. He loved Indiana Jones and would make "booby traps" out of his legos.
-When I watched the Heaps' kids for a week when their parents went to Hawaii, John was a HUGE helper. He would take his little brothers in their room and keep them entertained.
-Playing catch with him during baseball season.
-John asking me to play Super Mario Brothers for the Wii. He loved to watch it, then learned to play it.
-His sleep walking... Funny/eerie thing to experience.
-Knocking on my room door to see what I was up to. I loved his little visits.
-Right before I got married, his obsession with Harry Potter began. Every time I go over there now, he will mention something about it or ask me questions about it.
Happy Birthday John. I love you bud.
