M- turned 14 today! I'll admit, 13 is an age I am glad to leave behind. It was a rough one - but oh how I love my boy! He is polite, kind, smart, huggy, honest, strong, loving, hard-working, tough, trustworthy, and handsome! I'll stop there, but really he is such a great kid and both his Dad and I are super proud of the young man he has become. 14 will be an adventure as he heads into a new world of learning (charter school), works toward his Eagle Scout (it is his next rank), becomes a junior instructor at taekwondo, and enjoys most of the summer on his own at Boy Scout camps.
We celebrated earlier in the week as he left today for a competition in Texas. Another adventure he was very excited about! Good thing we got him a phone for his birthday as he's been texting me his whereabouts all afternoon:)
E- got him a very cool Captain America hoodie. He can pull this off quite well:)
We all had fun at the trampoline park. Even hubby got in on the fun and discovered he can still do splits and flips at 45!
*** Note: We were all pretty sore the next day!
After burning off a bunch of calories we headed back home for M-'s fave meal of the month: Juicy Lucy's (a double burger patty stuffed with cheese), sweet potato fries, and some mint chocolate cookie milkshakes! MMmmmmmmm!
Just a couple more pics of M- helping with the little ones at TKD... this is about the cutest thing ever!
He is really a natural - The kids just love him!
Happy Birthday!
