Everett is 16 !!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERETT (the boys have always had their own brand of humor, which is a puzzle to some, but I think is hilarious....hence the lit frog)

We have never fit the description of "normal", so why start now? What could be better on your 16th birthday, then touring a bunch of grave sites? So, we headed to Oakland Cemetery for Everett's birthday. Extremely cool place. Shey over-slept and missed his cross practice, so it was very nice to have him with us for the day.
Neat statues, head stones and mausoleums.
This is what we look like when we are not on bikes, carrying backpacks or wearing a life vest.
Next, we hit our favorite organic cafe, the Flying Biscuit. Yum.

Can't believe he is 16! Man, it has flown by. I can't say enough how much fun it has been to raise this guy and spend so many great years with him.

The ceremonial lighting of the frog.......

He saved the frog from a terribly painful head-burn.

Yeah, so the cake didn't quite make it to the actual birthday, but Southern Sweets makes an AWESOME German Chocolate Cake that is perfect for dinner and breakfast!

Everett has a great love of gas masks, so we found a t-shirt with people riding bikes, while wearing gas masks. So fitting.

Jansen....enough said.
