13 and shiny!!

It is so hard for me to believe that on February 23 this boy or..... young man is now a (gulp) teenager. I feel so cliche when I say "I rememeber when..." But it is true. Life has a way of going by way to fast. Before you know it your a mother of a teenager!!! Braedon is a good kid (stay the way!!) who loves his family....most of the time. He stills likes being with me and hanging out which I like too!! He is always being "Braedon" as we call it, but whether he is teasing, or being goofy he is our Braedon and we love him!! We can't imagine our family without you!! Happy Birthday!! Showing his manliness!! Grrr!

We love to watch you 'do your thing' whether that is baseball, football or basketball. We have and always will be your biggest supporters!!

I love when my kids get along!!! They are so fun to watch play together!!

Showin off his killer smile!!

A little tender moment with the brother and sister....ahhh!

This is him at one of his many goofy moments. My kids love to shove blankets in their clothes and try to see how big they can get!! I think mission accomplished!!

He has had many bike crashes, sports injuries, falling mishaps, basketball hoops being slammed down on himself after a good slam dunk but never a black eye. So it seems it took 13 years and some messing around with his cousin to fix the problem of saying' Never a black eye.' Funny thing is after all the things that have happened to him he got this by running into a wall. Poor kid!! But now he can't say he never had one!!! We love you buddy!!
