Turning the big 12!

I'm about a month behind on blogging Austin's birthday, but better late than never....

Our sweet boy is growing up so fast and has turned 12 this year. He is such a wonderful son and a great big brother. His younger brother and sisters just adore him. He has also turned into a
great baby sitter (whoohoo, freedom for Brian and I).


For Austin's party this year he chose to play flag football (well he wanted to play tackle but Brian said only flag) and then dinner at Godfather's pizza.


Try getting ten 11 and 12 year old boys to stand still for a picture and this is what happens...dog pile.

There were 10 boys so it worked out great having 2 teams of 5. The boys played for about 2 hours and then decided that they were all hungry so off we went to get pizza.




Going around the table: Seven, Nick, David, Drew, Corbin, Gavin, Cole, Benjamin, Jacob and Austin.




All the boys thought this card was hillarious. A naked baby sitting on a potty seat (typical preteen boy sense of humor).

Happy Birthday Austin, we love you!

I can hardly believe the boys are turning 12...crazy. Kendall's nearly as tall as me...well 4 or 5 inches but still!!! Austin looks grown up - his hair looks shorter. Kendall chopped his off in Sept. or Oct. but is growing it back out now. Looks like a great time!

He is twelve! AHH!! We have someone in our neighborhood who just left on a mission and I remember when he was just a young kid. It is amazing how fast these kids grow up.

I can't believe he's 12. In my mind, he's still little Austin...probably how you and Brian picture me, huh? :) Happy Birthday, Austin!

Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas!

12 is definitely a whole new stage of childhood. I'm so jealous that you have a built-in babysitter!

Happy Birthday, Austin!
