Evan is 13!!

It's hard to believe that I am now a Mom of a teenager... there is much to be said about that and so much to look forward to. I know that many parents dread these years and all the changes that come with having a teenager. But, I am really excited about this journey that we are about to take with our oldest son. He is a priceless gift from the Lord to our family. Because of his life, our lives were changed... for the better.

 For his special day, he only had a few requests...

Watch the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie

And eat lunch at Chili's

So we enjoyed lunch in Raleigh after church on Sunday

Opened gifts

And goofed around:) This is what you do to a teenager, right?

Yep, he's almost as big as me now!

Since we were going to the lake baptism with our church family later Sunday, we decided to head out to the lake early for some fun!

A shark! A shark!

No, it's just Nat and her brothers:)

And Evan's favorite, a cookie cake!

Happy Birthday to the coolest teenager in town! We love you Evan!
