Sweet Sixteen

My oldest son Braeden turned 16 today. I can't believe that I am the Mother of a 16 year old boy. Here he is on his birthday - just after reading over 20 plus emails that my internet friends sent him wishing him Happy Birthday!



He thought it was pretty cool to get those emails, and he even wrote back and said thanks - makes a Momma proud.

Here he is with his birthday present



We originally bought this car for me, then Mitch has used it as a commuter car, and now we have given it to Braeden. It is a 1994 Honda Accord with 150k miles on it. I think it is a pretty decent first car. Of course, Braeden already has ideas on how he is going to trick it out! He got his first taste of car ownership when I handed him the notice that the tabs are due to expire November 1st! ROFL at the expression on his face. We told him we would help him with maintenance, but he is responsible for his insurance, gas and tabs.

Course, now he just needs to go and take the test for his license. I think that will probably happen next week. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

Tagged again!

K - my friend Jen tagged me in an effort to get me to update my blog :)

The rules:
1. List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets.
2. Tag 5 friends and list them.
3. Those people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people.
4. Don’t forget to let the people you tag know by posting a comment on their blog!

Sheesh, and I think everyone knows my weird things already - but here goes

1. I HATE feet. Except for kids feet ages 6 and under.
2. I don't like people touching my face.
3. I have to sleep with one foot out of the covers.
4. I only like Milk Chocolate
5. I always sit with one of my feet underneath me.

So there it is my boring weirdness is now out in blogville :)

And again, I'm not tagging anyone - just because.

Tagged

Okay, I was tagged by Lacey and Bonni - so I am finally getting around to doing this.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether or not they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal/blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.

1. Chasing Cars/Snow Patrol
2. Hip Don't Lie/ Shakira featuring Wyclef Jean
3. Like Red on the Rose/ Alan Jackson
4. Summer of '69/ Bryan Adams
5. Melt / Rascall Flatts
6. How to Save a Life / The Fray
7. Zombie / Dilana

and I'm not gonna tag anyone - cause they've all been tagged
