Happy Birthday to Joe - the most awesome kid in the world!
I was planning on posting some of my favorite pictures of Joe over the years to go along with this post. Brian even taught me how to scan them into the computer. Sadly, I can't figure out how to get them HERE. So, I will go ahead with my birthday post and when Brian comes home, I will add more pictures. Joe is 12 today. 12!!! That is crazy to me. The time has gone by too fast. When I look at him, I still see the little boy who ran around the house with his cape on all the time. I'm pushing him on the swings, while he looks back to make sure his cape is flying in the wind. I'm not ready for him to be 12.
He, however is more than ready to be 12. He's interested in music, hangin' out with friends, and girls. It's all too scary for me.
Joe is such an awesome kid. I thoroughly enjoy being his mother. Joe is sensitive and kind. He is creative, talented and funny. He has the best laugh in the world, and uses it a lot.

As most of you know, today also happens to be Adam's birthday too. I wanted to wish Adam a happy birthday.
Adam is going to be a famous author some day. He is incredibly talented. You should all go check out his work in progress. I don't know how to set up a link (technically challenged, remember?), so I'll post his blog address here: tarterrior.blogspot.com. Check it out and you will see what I mean about him being a literary genius. Also, leave him a comment and wish him a happy birthday.
When he's super famous, I'll be able to say that I knew him way back when. He's the greatest. Happy Birthday Adam.

Happy Birthday Joe & Adam.
I never knew Joe's favorite body part was his ankle...interesting.
Acutally that wasn't Alex, it was Sheri. I didn't know he was logged on to my account.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!! Your ankle huh? That will change! Anyway, I just want you to know that I am proud of you and the decisions you make. You have grown into an awesome young man. I can't believe it's been 12 years! Seems like yesterday you pooped all over me in the middle of the night. Wait, it was yesterday....
Happy B-day, I'd have to a agree, you are one cool kid!
Happy Birthday, Joe!! Yeah, green beans rule!!
What great birthday tributes. Happy Birthday. I love the list of favorites, it is interesting to see those change over the years!
Happy Birthday Joe! Birthdays are the best and turning 12 is fun and eventful.
OK, I might be dense (no need to agree) but I just noticed the quote at the top of your blog. I LOVE it!
