HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYLON!!!

Kaylon just turned 14!!  He's growing up so fast all of a sudden!  He's at least 4 inches taller than me now (which really isn't saying much) and he rubs it in my face at least twice a day!  He is in size 11 shoes and his hands are bigger than Rodger's!  I can't image how big he's going to end up and he hasn't even hit his growth spurt yet!!  

We had a crazy week with everything Kaylon had going on so to celebrate his birthday he got to perform in the school play.  Since this week was going to be nuts we decided to celebrate last weekend.  He wanted to go to Golden Corral for his birthday dinner and then on his actual birthday he wanted chicken turnovers.  Inbetween school and getting ready for the play he opened presents and we had ice cream cake that he had requested.  He got a 3DS and a couple of games, along with lots of money from everyone, THANK YOU!!   There were plenty of parties going on this weekend to also help him celebrate.  Friday was a cast party for those that were involved with the play and then several of his friends had birthdays this week also so they had a big birthday party for all of them at his friend's house.  Overall he had a great birthday even though it was a little bit different than usual.   We love you Kaylon!

 

 

We wrapped his 3DS in three different sized boxes so he didn't know what he was getting!  That's the only thing he wanted so we wanted to disguise it!  It worked, he had no idea! 

 

 

 

This is the point where he figured it out, 

 can you tell how excited he is?!

INTO THE WOODS

Kaylon just made his big stage debut as 'The Baker' in his school's production of "Into The Woods"!  This was a hidden talent that we didn't know he had!  When he auditioned I was thinking he would get a small part or just be in the background but when he came home and told me he got the lead role I was shocked!!  After many hours of practice and staying after school every day, they finally got to perform what they'd worked so hard on.


I was a nervous wreck hoping that he could really do this!  I kept asking him if he was nervous and he looked at me like I was crazy, what's there to be nervous about?!  He was cool as a cucumber and not worried about it one bit!  He had to sing a couple of solos and I didn't even know he could sing!  Well, he was amazing, I didn't know he had it in him! Rodger and I kept looking at each other like, is this really our Kaylon, who knew??  Needless to say, it was another proud momma moment!  
     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MOTHER'S DAY

I had a great Mother's Day, other than I had to speak in church!  Of all the wonderful mothers out there why would they ask me?  Aren't the men supposed to talk and tell the women how wonderful we are?!  Oh well, I did it and survived, it just wasn't my idea of how I wanted to celebrate the day.  

Rodger and the kids gave me tulips (my favorite) a candied apple and a nice jewelry box.  We went to my favorite restaurant, Fireside Grille, and had the best prime rib EVER!!!  

  

  

 

 

Did I mention I love tulips!!!

I hope all the mother's in my life, sisters, friends, neighbors, etc., had a wonderful day as well and you were celebrated for being the wonderful mothers you are!  You were all in my thoughts and I love and miss you all!
