Nick Turned 18!

I am simply too young to have a child who is 18! As the day's got closer to his birthday, I began the denial process! Who, me? A mom of an 18 year old? NO WAY! Wait, I don't deny that I gave birth to him, but there is simply no possibly way that he is 18 already.

You have heard it said that the time passes quickly. I am here to testify to that!

May God abundantly bless and keep you safe and in His will Nicholas! You are truly a blessing to your parents. I thank God you have turned out to be such a young man of character and integrity. Son, you make your momma proud!






 
This double death by chocolate was NOT on the diet. Surely the calories DO NOT count if they are consumed on a birthday.



We started off at Bass Pro to see if we could find some new jeans. Nothing there for Nick but Abby sure enjoyed herself.



Aaron took Abby to go see all the stuffed critters, while we checked out the Carhartt  section.



The one eyes bandit?



She was not thrilled with having a raccoon's rear on her head.

We finished off our day at American Eagle where Nick HAD to try on almost everything in the store. He is very happy with his purchases, and we are thankful that we finally got out of the mall!

You are so right when they say time passes quickly. Honey, if you ask me, it just flies by! Don't blink or you will miss it. Happy Birthday Nick. That cake just looks awesome. MMM!

Lindsay saw Abby in that hat and said that she needs one of those for her new thinking cap. She loved it! Too cute!

Happy Birthday!! I totally understand the time passing. I know you are very proud but it is hard to see our little boys grow up and spread their wings.
