My Teenage Boy

This is actually a long overdue recap of Zach's 13th birthday, 3 weeks ago

but first........

WHO DAT? WHO DAT? WHO DAT?

SAINTS WIN, SAINTS WIN, SAINTS WIN!!!

and as John said...all is finally right with the world. (Zach trying to look tough all decked out in his very worn out Drew Brees jersey and a whole lot of Mardi Gras Bling)

Now on to the birthday...

(Zach's University of Texas cake...let's leave it at that and not bring up the National Championship game...so sad.)

So yes I now have a teenager...can you believe it?

I know this post should be about Zach and all but seriously folks I have a teenager...A TEENAGER...as you can tell I'm still not use to the idea.

Overall I can't complain.

Zach is kind, responsible, honest, excelling in school and just an all around great kid...it's just that now I feel REALLY old, plus at 5' 11" he's so much taller than me which is both funny and kind of sad at the same time.

He's not my little baby any more.

Zach has a great group of friends and from what we heard from all his teachers at conferences he's a very well known kid at his middle school and they all agree it's for all the right reasons and is a positive thing that we should be very proud of and you guessed it...we are!

Trampoline Dodgeball at Jump Street
These boys crack me up! We took a bunch of Zach's friends to Jump Street and boy was is fun watching them play dodgeball...John and I were almost in tears from laughing so hard, it was awesome!
We also had a fun little family party on a Wednesday night...with Trevor.
Nice face Trev!
(Oh and look there's my other two kids who I know I have been neglecting on the blog lately but don't worry they both have their own big events coming up that we're all pretty excited about...stay tuned).
The 13 year journey that has brought us this far has been a great one and we are really looking forward to many more exciting and fun times with this amazing boy of ours.
I love my teenager!
