Happy Birthday Boy!
For our son's 13th birthday, we had a family get together at our house last night. Alex had a couple of friends, his Uncle John, his Aunt Diann, his cousins - Kyann (and her sweet boyfriend), Darrian, TJ, and Kyra, his Papaw, and his Dad, Mom and I. Our house was a bit crowded! We had a blast! The kids played outside while I grilled up some burgers. We pigged out and then Alex sat down to his cake.
When we were done singing, he opened his presents. Now, I don't know how many of you have teenagers, but ours wanted nothing but cash... so, being the spoiled rotten brat that he is, cash is exactly what he got...
I am thinking it was to the tune of $210.00!! If you couldn't tell by that big ass grin on his face!
Well, no birthday can go by without the spankings, right? I had to catch him first... but I AM the Superior Step-Monster, so I was able to catch him!
And then Uncle John held him while I proceeded to whoop his butt!!
Alex had his buddy Jake stay the night. I was up kinda late last night and let me tell you what, it really did my heart good to hear them laughing out in the living room while they were playing the video games. It was that really hard laughing that you did when you were a kid and had someone stay over. I was sitting here giggling just listening.
Today, we promised to take Alex to the mall for a hoodie. We never did find anything he liked, so we ended up with a light jacket to hold him until he finds something that he likes. Once we were done at the mall, we went to Grand Junction Motor Speedway! The boys were in hog heaven. Holy crap they had a wonderful time!

The first few times around the track, they just did freestyle. There wasn't enough people for a race... but a few older guys showed up so they let them line up for a real race. Alex is in the very backon the left. I sure hoped he could pull out front...
Turns out, my boy came in second, with a big thumbs up!!
The older guys were cool enough to let us take their picture with Alex and Jake. Alex is on the left in the gray jacket and Jake is holding the helmet.
Holy crap those boys had so much fun! The ride home was nothing but chatter, chatter, chatter! I don't think he will forget this birthday for a long time!!
Man I love that boy!
