HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY AUSTIN!!!

16 years ago today, I gave birth to a big footed baby boy that has now grown into a 6'1" big footed young man!!! I had him convinced that I had a singing telegram bringing him Elmo balloons to school today. He even threatened skipping school today...but I let him stay home yesterday after his doctors appointment. We also took him to good old Wells Fargo and set him up with a checking/savings. He is always wanting money and this way he will learn something also. Adam and I want him to be able to balance a checkbook and all that before he gets out into the "real world". I also got him a job where I work as a waver. He will be one of the people who stand out on the corner in costume and wave a sign around. I think that is a pretty good job for a sixteen year old. He gets to listen to his music and act goofy! I will post pictures when I can of this!!!
On other news, we are waiting for a volcano to erupt! We have had a few earthquakes (5.7) and seem to be sitting and waiting. They are advising us to get respirator masks. The volcano is 100 miles from Anchorage, butt when it comes to volcano's....100 miles isn't that far. We will let you know when things happen!!!

16 years old! I didn't think you were old enought to have a 16 year old kid. I just can't get over how fast they grow.
Hunter thinks it is so neat that you guys are near volcano. That would be really scary to be near one erupting. Do they have drills on base to practice if that happens?
I checked out your sons pictures on his blog. His pictures are wonderful.
