Happy Birthday Austin!!

I know I am just a couple of days late in posting about Austin's birthday! It has been a crazy week...the last one before the kids got out for Christmas break! So I am playing blog catch up tonight! Austin's birthday was the 15th...he turned the big 12!!! I am stunned that he is that old! It feels like just the other day he had that cute fat face of his and all those cheeks and he was running around keeping me soooo busy! He really has grown into a great young man! On Monday I went and picked Austin up for lunch. His lunch is at 10:05am though and so we had to do something to kill some time till the rest of the world was ready for lunch time! We went and picked up his new frames, got him a much needed haircut and bought him some new tennis shoes. Finally it was an acceptable time for lunch, 11:15am so we went to a pizza place Austin had been wanting to try, New York Pizzeria! It was so yummy!! Then he went back to school. When he got home from school he got to open his presents {he got an ipod shuffle and a $50 visa card} and then we had to get ready for his first band concert! He plays trombone and is loving it! His concert was awesome!! He did a great job! Then we hurried home to sing happy birthday and have cookie cake! :) This year Austin got to have a party and he was gonna invite a few friends to play Laser Tag and have a sleepover...but the wheels in his head are always turning and he decided to have just one of his good friends over so they could play more games of Laser Tag! They had a great time and Tyler gave him a fun game called Killer Bunnies! :) Of course I got no pictures from Friday night! ...oh wellWe have had fun playing it!
