They really do love each other!

Wesley is a year older. He is a tender-hearted boy who loves legos, his family especially Clarissa, dogs, and hiking. He has a personal relationship with the Lord that has helped him overcome many challenges. His Grandpa Loder told me when he was little that he was a Loder, I asked what that meant, he said they are stubborn and do everything themselves. This has proven to be true. He still loves baked goods and bacon. His favorite music is Christian rock and church music. When he chooses the radio station it is KLOVE because you can get church music all the time! We love him and are excited he is part of our lives! #twelveisgreat #birthdayboyduringcovid #atleastthereisbaconandcake

 

 Clarissa is another year older. She is kind, fun, and sassy. She loves a good adventure as long as it is not too far from home, doing hands-on things, she works hard and thinks deep. She has big plans but is okay with taking her time to get there. She recently said, "Mom, you are only a kid for 18 years, Grandma is 75, you are an adult a lot longer than a kid!" She loves just being the age she is. She hates make-up, it covers up her freckles (her dad loves that!) She loves her family deeply and will tell you that she is not spoiled, she is just well-loved! Our family would not be the same without her. Thanks, Dawnette Thompson Photography for the lovely photos! #fourteenisevenbetterthenthirteen #lovethatgirl #sheamazesme
