Another year has passed and this boy of mine has turned another year older...he is 14! He has changed a ton this year, he is taller than Billy and I, his voice is lower, his presence is scarce- he spends much of the time upstairs in his room, playing online games with his friends. I miss him as much as i thought i would. He got his braces off this year, got invited to JBA summer college, and is in two accelerated classes. (although Algebra 1 is killing us all!lol!) He cares about his clothes and especially his shoes. He began the year with a pair of clearance $3.00 Walmart high tops and by Christmas, begged to spend all his money on Yeezys! He even got his first pair of jeans in like, 5 years! Of course, they were tight legged skinny jeans with rips! Wow, things change!
Favorite song: The kind blasting silently to the rest of the world through his earbuds as he taps with the beat while doing homework.

Favorite food: Steak..lol!
Favorite drink: Diet Coke
Favorite game: Overwatch, Rocket League
Closest friends: Nico, Nick, Seth, Bradley, Tyler, Kyle, Evan, Kyler

Since his bday fell on a Saturday, he got to have a chill day. It began with Aunt Sissy and Uncle Danny bringing over Dunkin' Donuts and coffee. They surprised him with $50 and a Smoothie King gift card. We surprised him with a red, black and white racer back desk chair that he had been asking for. We asked him what he would like to do for his bday, invite a friend, have a party, etc...all he wanted was steak and caesar salad for dinner along with a peanut butter sheet cake...and he got it! We took him to O'Charley's and got his steak dinner. They gave him a piece of caramel pie for his bday, so we waited until Sunday to have pb cake. It was a very low-key birthday this year but wonderful to spend the day celebrating another year being blessed with this kiddo. Love him to pieces!
