Happy Birthday John

I got so busy towards the end of the semester I did not post John's birthday pictures. Shame on me! And so.....let's talk about John's 15th birthday party. Had some friends over. The boys went to Buffalo Wild Wings, came home, presents and cake. A fun party. John got a kayak for his birthday. N.E.V.E.R. take a child with you to buy his/her birthday present. You will A.L.W.A.Y.S. return home poorer than you imagined. Just a quick tip to parents. We took him with us to let him pick it out. So, between John and the salesman, we were doomed. We had a small catastrophe on the day of the party. John was cleaning his fish tank before friends arrived. When they started coming I called, he came out of his room to talk to his friends. They got all excited, ran outside to do something, and John forgot that he left the water running to refill the tank......can you see where we are going here. What a mess. EVERY towel in the house was soaked. It was bad! Had to pull the carpet out. Yikes! No focusing on the bad stuff though! We had a birthday to celebrate. He is such a wonderful child. Funny, loving, cute as pie! He's going to be such a wonderful grown up. I'm so proud!
