Happy 13th Birthday Josh!!

So today is the day that most parents either look to with anticipation or with total utter fear!! Today my son turned 13...yup I am officially the mother of a teenager!! Now if that does not make a girl feel old I am not sure what will!! Anyhow Josh got a few great things for his Birthday! One he got a metallic red electric guitar...well actually he got a picture of one since his is still on route. Plus he got lessons to go with it so that we can save ourselves from listening to nonsense!! Also when asked what he wanted months ago all he asked for was one of every fruit at the store. Well with grandma and grandpa being here ask and you shall receive, to Josh's surprise he received every fruit that they had! Also last week we had a party for him and brought him and his best friend to a awesome restaurant The Melting Pot. Here are some pictures of our celebrations!

Josh wanted a giant strawberry shortcake with homemade whipped cream!!

Well so as another year of my child's life goes by I reflect as a mother on how he has grown and where did the time go? All I can say is this, Josh you are an amazing young man. You have grown in leaps and bounds this year and are mature beyond your years! We are so proud of your decisions and all your responsibility! We are so happy that you have accepted Christ at such a young age and serve Him like you do! You are an example to many and we are so very proud to call you son!! Happy Birthday Buddy! We love you so much more then you will ever know!
