another teen in the house--james 13th b-day (april 2016)

A little later in April, we had another exciting event: James officially became a teenager! Cementing mine and Kevin's new status as old people;). Okay, maybe middle aged??

It wasn't James' friend party year, but he still had a pretty awesome time going to Laser Quest with Kevin, Mae, and Porter. 

Kinda a dark picture, but it was the only one at Laser Quest with K in it!

Who, by the way, was pretty darn excited about his mad laser tag skills;).

After Laser Tag James got quite the birthday meal when Kevin took them all to Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse--one of our absolute favorites! Man, was I jealous!!

And of course, we finished off with a family party and gifts. 

To name a few ... 

Spikeball! So much fun!!


$$ from the Grams!

And a few new balls for "tips", our made-up backyard trampoline game.

To top off the celebration, we enjoyed a pan of delicious mint brownies. Visually they turned out a bit wonky;), but still tasted amazing as always. 

Love this resourceful, hardworking, and responsible son of ours!! He is a natural leader and loyal friend, and I am constantly in awe of his goodness and abilities.

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010
