Austin's 15th Birthday

For Austin's 15th birthday we decided to go all out. With new school, new friends, etc. We decided that JM and I would set him up right! He had a one-hour limo fide reserved which took him and a couple friends to the mall to watch a movie and then we had dinner out at the house... his choice - enchiladas and cake with ice cream. OH and the BEST part was his Dad came down to surprise him!!

The cool kids coming out of the school to the Limo...

The boys getting into the limo. Austin wouldn't let us take posed pics there at the school. Our intention was to get them at the mall where the limo was supposed to drop them off for the movie an hour later, BUT the driver didn't drive them around OR leave them at the right entrance like he was supposed to (even though we specifically said we would see him at the mall at 4 for better pics) so we didn't get any more than this one of the limo and the boys. The limo was a hummer limo though so it WAS super cool even if the ride got cut short.

The guys enjoying the enchiladas. The boys had decided to walk the mall for several hours after the movie so it ended up that only one of the two got to come out and eat after all.

Cards from lands afar (Grandma and Grandpa / Ellen and Ralph)...

The cake I made for him...

Blowing out the candles (though I told him it looked like he was trying to kiss the cake)...

Austin and JM...

It still freaks me out that the little boy that moved away to SC is now as tall as his Daddy!

Jansen got his new Sponge Bob jammies from Uncle JM so he had to wear them with the boys and get his pic too!

My poor shrimp isn't even close to competing for the male family members height gene yet. Even standing on the coffee table he barely grazes a belt line on the guys. This is evidence though that there is height on my side and not just Daddy's so sooner or later it's bound to kick in right?
