Cy's 18th Birthday

Cy requested Chili's for his birthday dinner, no surprise there. For some reason we decided to open presents in the parking lot?

The kids always have a lot of fun together. I love watching their relationships. We're definitely missing Getty, though.

Eighteen randoms about Cy:

1. I can sum up Cy in two words: TOTAL JOCK

But I will go on...

2. He's a Type 3 on the Enneagram, the "Performer," the "Achiever"

3. He's action-oriented

4. He likes to think Cam is his slave

5. He checks out his muscles in the mirror 98 times a day, give or take, while asking me for feedback on how strong he looks

(BTW, check out those stretch marks across his lower back!)

6. He's a charmer and can win anyone over (especially the girls)

7. He's obsessive with calories in any and all forms to gain weight (notice the 3 glasses of chocolate milk)

8. His priority and focus in life at this point is going to the gym 6 days a week and his P.R.'s (personal lifting records)

9. Watches weight lifting on YouTube when he's not at the gym

10. Afternoon naps after 3-hour basketball practices (hates conditioning) and 2-hour gym sessions (the highlight of his day)

11. Old girlfriends stalk him

12. Owns 37 Nike hoodies and minds his "fit"

13. Rarely wears a shirt while driving his truck or at home (even in January)

14. Cy's five-year-old cousin Caleb is President of his fan club

15. Loves corn hole with Rob (competitive, per usual)

16. Is convinced he's Thiago's favorite Uncle

17. Leaves a trail of shoes, clothes, and food wherever he goes... 

(that's his spaghetti on the floor, too👇)

18. College/Mission/Future plans: 

NOT his priority

Items discussed at our Slim Chickens parent/Cy meeting: possible colleges (BYU Hawaii, Utah State, UVU), ACT retake, mission if and when. Resolutions: none.

P.S. I should note here that his birthday was in August and it is now January 24th, 5 months later. Cy still hasn't committed to any specific post-high school plans, so I asked him today when he thinks he'll make a decision. He said he's waiting to get his patriarchal blessing next month and go from there. 

Sounds good to me!
