and this!
at 5 o'clock in the morning too!
We woke up all of our kids except TJ at 5am and then quietly went into TJ's room and flashed the lights on and blew the horn and had about 20 poppers going off all around him. He just kinda looked up and smiled and the first thing he said was....
"you guys are going to clean this up, right?"
He has had a nice quiet birthday just like he wanted. He informed us after school that he ditched and went to Panda for lunch. I guess he thought he couldn't get into trouble on his birthday. I actually think Thayne told him he could when he dropped him off at school. We are taking him to dinner in just a bit and then having cake and presents at home. Not a bang of a birthday but he likes it that way. I told him I was sorry I didn't bring him balloons to school (I never do that anyways), he just laughed and said "ohhhhh I am so glad you didn't do that"! I think he would have died if we did. I am putting up a slide show tonight of him when he was younger. He is such a good kid.
When TJ was a baby he was into and out of everything. When TJ was 6months old he would climb out of his crib, crawl to the top of the stairs, slide down the stairs and crawl into our room. He stopped taking naps at 6 months old too, which was not pleasant. When TJ was a toddler Thayne was putting him to bed and he looked at Thayne and said "why do I have to sleep, it is a waste of time". I am so glad he has changed as a teenager, he now sleeps in. TJ started walking at 9 months old. He was always so active and into everything I just thought I was in for trouble for the next 18 years. I have been pleasantly surprised to see him grow into a very good boy. He is such a treat to have in our home and always tries to make good choices. He is still very active and I like that about him. There are many things that I enjoy about TJ, one of them being his relationship with his dad. Thayne and TJ are great friends and trouble together, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Now we just need to get him to get his EAGLE so he can get that drivers license so I won't have to drive as much.
I just love this kid so much!

Happy Birthday to TJ. I can't believe he is already 16! Be proud of yourself, you have done a fantastic job.....I can only I hope I do as well. Don't they turn from little babies to men quickly?!?
I still remember him and I taking naps on our big king size bed when you were at work. He was always such a sweet sweet boy. He did get rather active and into a lot of trouble but hey what 2 year old doesn't. We sure miss not living closer to him. I know him and papa would enjoy each others company a great deal. Give him a big hug for us. Happy Birthday Thayne Junior.
What a handsome boy (or should I say young man)! He is getting so grown up!
HB TJ! He really is a great kid. Now we just need to replace that bike with a car.
So when's his first date?? You're a good mom to honor his wishes, that would have been really hard for me. Happy Birthday TJ!
Happy Birthday to you!!!
What a fun idea! You guys always have some of the creative ideas. I'm going to have to remember these:)
He is a good boy, I he is fun to have around. That slide show really illustrates how fast time flies, I remember that little boy and it doesn't seem very long ago.
Oh man....I am a loser aunt! Happy Birthday TJ. He is such a good kid and fun to be around. We love you TJ
