It's Finally Happened!

This is how I feel. .
having an EIGHTEEN year old child!!
In fact. .
He makes most of us crazy. .
MOST of the time!
Who else gets to spend a week at the lake. .
and then celebrate a big day the rest of the weekend?
Homemade raspberry filled cupcakes. .
Special attention at church. .
Friends for lunch and pistol shooting. .
birthday cake with his PICTURE printed on the top (courtesy of Grandma Pat). .
Homemade cookie dough ice cream. .
FIREWORKS. .
His favorite part??
Getting carded during his SUCCESSFUL attempt to buy. .
2 CIGARS!!
Sorry Grandma. .
I tried!!
If it helps. .
he hasn't smoked them!!
And reports that he just wanted to BUY them!
You know. .
Because he COULD!
Some sweet little thing. .
Wished ME. .
a happy 18th year of being a MOM!!
And unfortunately. .
the gray hair that STARTED with this kid. .
will likely not END with this kid!!
Happy birthday bubba!
We love ya!
 
Come back soon to check out some of our favorite vacation photos!!
