Cub turns 13

 Today, my baby boy (well, one of them, anyway) turns 13. Wow. A teenager. I can very distinctly remember when he was all of 7lbs and would sleep for hours in a sling on my chest. Now the kid is bigger than I am. :) Thank you, Father, for his growth into a wonderful, bright, sweet, responsible, funny, God fearing young man. May his years continue to honor You.

Crawdad trying to disguise the bunny slippers Taz was convinced her brother needed for his happy birthday. :)

Birthday boy relishing his presents.

Make a wish!

Thanking Little Brother for the video game. Aren't they cute? :)

Taz really got a kick out of the hats.

400 Bionicle pieces. That ought to keep him busy. :P

Letting Taz help unwrap. Such a good big brother. :)

Discussing how to paint the models Papa Bear got him.

Not only is it pumpkin pie, but we had it for breakfast. Yeah, I have weird kids.

Anybody else notice the amount of whipped cream on that piece of pie?

Happy kid :)

Loved the creative "hatting" going on in this one.

She can't stand the pie, but she will gleefully eat the whipped cream with a spoon. :P

 Feeding the dogs Frosty Paws doggy ice cream. Can't have them left out, now can we?

Busy already.

Cub and Papa Bear have a camping trip planned in a few weeks, but for today, Cub went to spend the day at work with his dad. Papa Bear makes computer games for a living, so it's more fun than it sounds. :P Tomorrow, all the boys will head over to Magic Mountain to spend the day racing go karts. Taz and I are sitting that one out. :)
