Caution long post and lots of photos!! (I’m postponing Tone It Up Tuesday for tomorrow to dedicate the day to my amazing son)

Today is a momentous day. Today my first born, my baby turns 13, a teenager! I still can not believe he is that old. I can still remember the days when every 15 minutes I was cranking that darn swing (yes we had the old crank style swing no battery operated one for us). That swing went every where with us, because with out it he was not a happy camper.

I didn’t realize how terrible our camera was 13 years ago!

I still remember the thrill of each milestone. Learning to sit up, pulling himself up to stand, and crawling.

His first head stand. Wait What did I just say?

Of course we all remember when our child learned to walk right? The beginning of the end!

Who doesn’t often think about their child’s first birthday?

Who would have thought their child’s first car would be at the age of 2?

He was so excited to finally meet his baby brother, not a jealous bone in his body even to this day.

They always look so cute and innocent when they are sleeping don’t they? If you only knew!

Oh my gosh he is moving from preschool into kindergarten where did the time go?

So excited to go to Kindergarten, I should remind him of this in a few weeks when school begins.
b2
His first venture into soccer, after 6 years he is still going strong and hopefully this year he will make the school team!
b3
He amazes me still with his own style and how he could care less what other kids think of him and what he chooses to wear.
b4
I was so excited when he won his karate form tournament. He was so focused, I was so proud!
b5
This handsome devil is definitely my son!
b6
I love his determination and desire to join the running club and run a mile marathon.
b7
He is the best biggest brother to both is sister and brother. He is so loving and caring, (most of the time)

I love that even at his age now he will still let me hug him in public and even take a photo!
b10
He may be 13 but he is still my baby boy!

Last but not least the birthday boy with his birthday gift that his awesome parents bought him. A fiberglass skimboard. (Ok so it is not his own Xbox 360 that he really wanted but we will call it a close 2nd)

If you made it this far thank you for joining me down my memory lane trip. My buddy is 13 today and begins a new phase of his life and mine the teenage years. He is such a wonderful kid. He is a honor roll student, he has earned his fair share of awards, he is an awesome soccer player, he made the National Junior Honor Society, and best of all he is my son and my pride and joy! Happy Birthday Buddy!

  12. Wow, it's always fun traveling down memory lane. What a handsome young man he's grown into be.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog today, I appreciate you letting me know how your dieting is going. Keep up the good work, be strong this week.
    So far, yesterday was a great day for counting calories, but I was left feeling a bit hungry by bedtime.

  13. That was awesome Colleen! They grow up, but their smiles never change! Thanks for taking us down memory lane, and I'm surprised to see that exer-saucers haven't really changed that much throughout the years 🙂
