Let's Taco 'bout Prom

A couple weekends ago, after a fun date night with these two, we came home to this:
 Taco Bell on the front porch!
 Actually it was an invitation to Prom for #2.

Then a few days later, #3 decided he wanted ask someone to Prom, using none other than. . . . .

drumroll please

TACOS
His invite reads:
There's alot of "TACO" 'bout Prom So "Lettuce" go together!
He left the sign and a box of tacos on his dates front porch.

p.s. - Notice who's doing all the work?  Hint: It's not #3.
But to give him credit, he did come up with the pun.

Having teenagers ROCKS!

2 Exciting Things



#3 has two exciting things going on :

1. He was asked to his first dance- Preference.
The night this invitation was delivered, all my kids were surprisingly home (something that never happens).  So after tucking in the little girls, we locked up the house, turned off all the lights (inside and out) and settled down in to our warm comfy beds. Just as we're drifting off to La-La Land (around 9:00), there was a knock at the door. I sent Clint to investigate.  He came back with this.

How cute is it? "Beary" Happy.
The asker's name was somehow magically written in the huge giant homemade gummy bear.
So sweet!

He answered her back with the classic "DING-DONG " answer, just changed the wording around a bit.
2.  We have ourselves a new hard-working man, bringing home the bacon.
(What is it about my kids choosing jobs that require them to wear a vest?)
This picture was taken on his first day. I said to him in my sweetest mom voice, "Let's take your picture so we can remember your first day of work."
His answer, "I'll think about it."  Which, in case you don't know, in teenage boy language means, "No thanks!"
So while he was distracted, I snagged a picture of him!  

HA!  Take that!

Champion

On Saturday#3 played the last game of the regular season.
They lost- in over time (missing players is no fun).
BOOO!

BUT
There is good news.. . . 

This was their only loss the entire season.
YAY!

They played this team three times this season and beat them twice before.
YAY!

AND
They were 'crowned' city champions.
*applause*
Now they go on to play tournament games.
However, #3 just started working a job
YAY!
and will have to miss two games because of work.
BOOO!

p.s.- This champion went on his first ever date this past weekend.
Ohhh YAY-YA!

Teenager in the House!

 We had another BIG birthday and added another teenager to our family yesterday. 
#4 turned the big ONE THREE - 13!
Grandma and Grandpa started the celebration early by bringing breakfast for the birthday boy - his favorite cereal and breakfast hot pockets.
 Later there was also cake (mint chocolate Oreo)
 and presents. 
I love this boy so much.  He is a jokester just like his dad.  He is really quite funny, and always has us laughing.  He is kind and has the biggest heart.  He is a friend to everyone.  He loves basketball, in fact, that is all he wanted for his birthday - shorts, sports shirts, and basketballs.  He is a great brother (big and little), and an awesome son.
