haPpy biRthDay miTcheLL!

Mitchell turned 15 on Sunday! Yes! 15! He is getting so grown up. Thank goodness he still acts like a teenager, I am having a hard time with him being taller than me! We went and picked up the manual so he could study for his driving test to get his permit. I'm not ready! We also have to turn in his regristration for high school tomorrow! He decided he was too old for parties:(
He said it would save us money. We did take him out to eaton Friday. We went to the Union Station and ate as the train went by. Afterward we went out and walked around the trains. Rylee followed her brother everywhere. She LOVES him! I am sure he really enjoyed it, but he didn't want to admit it. I couldn't help but to think how he would have acted around the trains when he was five(so adorable)! So, I don't know if I want to crawl into bed and sleep for a month because of winter or because my little boy is so grown up!:)

Kidding aside, we love him very much and are so proud of him!
Happy Birthday Mitchell!

These pictures were taken in San Diego Zoo. I don't have any pictures of mitchell without Rylee. They are inseperable! I love him for that!

Happy Birthday Mitchell! Wow I can't believe he's 15, that's crazy! I used to love watching Mitchell with Riley during church, you can tell he adores her and she adores him, so cute!

Happy day!!! My oldest is also 15, but he has no desire to drive (thank goodness)! Thanks for your sweet encouragement. Things are going well, and the homesickness is gradually going away.
