And, yeah, how happy do you think he is about it?!?!?!?We spent Christian's 13th B-day doing all kinds of typical teen-agery things....
Hangin' out at the local bowling alley...
But still taking time with the little guys!
Then on to devouring lots of pizza....
and throwing in a game of pool! (Thanks to our neighbors for the quick set up and portable pool table! FUN!)And here's a really fun growing up stat....
We told Kamberlynne last year on Christian's birthday she had one year left before he caught her...I think he even has her by an inch or so!! But don't worry....
I've still got him...for one more year--or at least a few months!And with all that big guy size comes....
the ginormous quadruple layer "make it as much chocolate as you can, Mom" cake! (Yep, he takes after his momma!)
Christian's wish came true, he got to stay up way past bedtime playing his new Settlers of Cataan game!
So here's to 13 years with 1 amazing kid! Having Christian bless our home means always being able to find the sunshine in cloudy days, still being able to hang with the little guys no matter how big you get, knowing way too much about some of the grosser creatures on our planet, and hearing some of the finer movie lines delivered in spot-on imitation! But more than that, we get to love and nurture, inspire and be inspired by a tender-hearted and compassionate boy who is turning into a mighty warrior for the Lord right before our eyes!
And oh, yeah...now we have two of these crazy teenegers in our home! Aren't we blessed?!?!?
You better believe it!

WOW I can't believe he's a teenager! It amazes me how fast kids grow! I still often think of that little Christian becoming a dinosaur and walking around with his teeth showing and two fingers on each hand in the air. I sure miss you guys and am soooo grateful for blogs!
Wow! It's amazing how fast he grew!!! I was thinking about how cute of a baby he was. What amazing growth! That is a special order cake! Adam Jr. has informed me he would like one like that for his birthday. Looks like he had a fun day and I LOVE the last picture. That will be us soon! Where do these crazy teenagers come from???:)We love you Christian!
He is so big!! It looks like it was a fun day!! And WOW! That cake looks AMAZING!! ;)
Wow I can't believe he is 13! I thought for sure I read that wrong, I can't believe it's been a year since he turned 12. It seems like only yesterday he was passing the sacrament for the first time.
You are amazing parents who have amazing children! So blessed to know you!
You definitely are blessed! I can't believe he's a teenager!!!!
