Happy Birthday Clayton

Clayton Russell

I have watched the Russell Family grown and have been in awe at what a great, spiritual family they are and Clayton is a part of that greatness.  He is one of the most spiritual…and just ‘got it together’ young men that I know. 

            Clayton is a senior at Jordan High School and turns 18 May 19 which is today.  As a senior he is able to attend the YSA Class and how blessed we are that he has chosen to do so.  Not only is he a full time student, but he also works at Eclipse Composites Engineering and Lift House Ski Shop.

            Claytons favorite food is ‘Meat’…he doesn’t give any specific kind…just meat and his favorite restaurant is Fusi Sushi and Steakhouse.  He loves Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate.  His favorite book is “Walking Drum” by Louis Lamour, his favorite TV Show is “The Office”, his favorite Music Group is “Reel Big Fish” and his favorite Song is “Average Man” by Reel Big Fish.  Clayton loves almost any action movie…

            If Clayton were to ask you out….he just might ask you to go skiing as he has stated that that is his favorite place to take a date.  He loves Fly Fishing, Skiing, Lacrosse, Rugby, Rock Climbing, Hiking and pretty much any sport.

            Clayton is an amazing kid and the class had lots of great things to say about him.  Here are some of the feelings they shared about him.

“An amazing attractive and athletic man who is perfectly kind and sweet  and amazingly good at everything.”

“”Super Classy”

“He is a great example”

“He is always willing to help out whenever it is needed.”

“He is a stud…schnazzy”

“Clayton is really spiritual and mature for his age.”

“He will make an amazing missionary.  He has an amazing heart.”

“Clayton is the best brother anyone could ask for.  He is always there for me and I appreciate everything he does.  He is so much fun and is such a good example, plus it’s awesome when he puts 111 gold fish in his mouth!”

            I don’t think this leaves much question as to what kind of Young Man Clayton Russell.  I think we are all blessed to have him be a part of our lives.

                 Happy Birthday Clayton

Happy Birthday Caitlin

Caitlin Bellon

            Caitlin has been know to spell her name numerous ways…she had me very confused at Girl's Camp the first year that we went because every paper she turned in had her name spelled a different way.  I finally had to ask her mother which was the correct way…and it was…"CAITLIN".  And that is a very good way.

            One of my favorite things about going to camp was to get the know Caitlin.  She is one of the sweetest…most fun girls that I know.  I love to call her 'hun'.  She makes fun of me for doing so…but I know deep down she must love it.

            Caitlin was born on May 12, 1992…what bright sunny day that must have been.

She had intended to start school at SLCC in January…but got a new boyfriend instead.

She was working as a cashier at Officemax, but is currently looking for a new job…so if anyone hears of any great and outstanding jobs…be sure to give her a call.

            Her favorite food is Teriyaki Chicken, her favorite dessert is Reeses Peanut Butter Pieces and her favorite candy is Reeses Fastbreak and Baby Ruth Candy Bars.

            If you are looking for somewhere to take Caitlin you might try 'Spoon Me', 'Red Robin', 'Mimi's Café' or 'Zupas'.  All great choices.  After eating…or maybe before…you might take her to a cornmaze or bowling…because she has said that these are two of her favorite dates to go on.

            One of  things that Caitlin loves to do is read and her favorite book is "

Glory Road

".  I think, however, unless she has really changed, sports comes a little ahead of reading.    She loves watching or going to any sports event…basketball, football…pretty much any sport.  

            Some of her favorite movies are: "More Than a Game", "Glory Road", "Miracle" and "Remember the Titans" and her favorite TV shows are anything on ESPN…but especially Jazz games and BYU games and she likes to watch  "Ghost Adventures".  

            Caitlin's favorite song is "Live Like You Believe" by Jenny Phillips.  She also likes Ryan Shupe & the Rubberband" (Hey…they are coming to Sandy Amphitheater this summer someone better let David know).

            Caitlin also enjoys hanging out with her friends and being involved with Institute Council.

            Caitlin is loved by everyone.  Here are some of the things the class had to say about her:

"Caitlin is 'The Extreme' of the word 'Bubbly'…I have never seen her without a smile."

"She is a Lovely Person"

"She is always so happy and she is the best neighbor ever."

"She has a wonderful laugh and is Classy."

"She is so cute, I love her sense of style."

"Caitlin is a very happy and smiley girl"

"Caitlin is such a sweet girl!  She is so much fun to be around and it's great when she comes and hangs out with all of us."

"Caitlin is a great example and a super sweet girl.  She has always been so kind and accepting of people."

            When is all is said and done…"Everyone Loves Caitlin"…You are the best!

We love you!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Tyler

Tyler Engstrom

Tyler seams like a quiet, pleasant kind of guy.  He is very polite and seems to be rather humble.  He was born on May 4, 1990…which means that his birthday is today…and it is the big '21'…So Happy Birthday is in order.

Tyler is attending Salt Lake Community College and is Pharmaceutical major.

He works as a Pharmacy Technician at Target Pharmacy.

It would seem that Tyler is a guy that would be easy to please…as he likes pretty much everything.  His favorite food is steak and his favorite restaurant is Texas Roadhouse…good choice.  That is one of mine and Craig's favorites.

His favorite candy is a Butterfinger…and he like anything for dessert…like I said…easy to please.

He says he doesn't read much…I would guess he is talking about casual reading…I can't imagine that he is studing Pharmaceutical Chemistries and not reading.

When asked about favorites he responded that he likes too many movies, too many TV Shows, too many songs and too many music groups to name…so if you are considering what to get this guy…I would say almost anything.

He loves outdoor, any sport, camping fishing and basketball.

When we asked the Young Single Adults to share something about Tyler this is what we got:

"Super Spiky Hair"

"He is Awesome"

"He is awesome at volleyball and is a very kind person."

"He has cool hair and is great at volley ball."

"He is so stinkin awesome!  He is so kind and caring and an amazing listener…plus he has a hot jeep."

"He is a really fun guy."

"He is great to hang out with."

I guess we could sum Tyler up as the awesome, kind and caring guy with great hair.

Happy Birthday Tyler!
