Birthday Boy

This post is a little late...

I wanted to add picture of the day, but shortly after I loaded the pictures to my computer, the computer totally crashed.  I lost everything!!!  That night we made a mad dash rush to the Geek Squad, needless to say it is now three weeks later and I still don't have my computer back or any pictures.  I am so upset because like an idiot...I deleted the pictures off the camera before I saved them to anywhere like I usually do.  I will never do that again!

Over the weekend (Of November 6th) we had the honor to celebrate Adams 19th birthday.  We didn't celebrate big this year again.  I can't afford to do a big party every year.  We decided to do a bar-b-que.  We had angus steak, baked potatoes and snap peas.  It was all delicious.  No birthday is complete without cake and ice cream.  We found an Italian Creme cake.  It was soooo good!  I couldn't eat my whole piece (I didn't want to think of all the calories going in!) Adam loved it, he devoured a huge piece, plus ice cream (that's OK, that's what a birthday is for).  He also spent some time hanging out with his friends over the weekend as well.  I'm trying to grasp the reality that mama isn't the center of his world anymore :( but I think deep down he still cares (at least that's what I want to believe).

It seems like he was just a little boy not too long ago.  Now he is grown and in the world trying to figure out who he is. At this point in his life it seems like all he wants to do is go out and ride the dirt bike.  Sometimes I don't even realize he has left to go do it. As long as he is safe I'm okay with him going, but in all honesty I don't really like the idea of him going out and riding alone. Too much can happen.  I have known a few people who have had little accidents while out riding who have been killed. All I can do is hope nothing will happen.

I have also noticed lately that Adam loves to watch Sponge Bob Square Pants.  Everyday when we come home from work its on.  I can't figure out what is so funny about the show.  Not too long ago there was something on the news that said watching Sponge Bob makes kids stupid....hummm some days I wonder if Adam has watched too much Sponge Bob over the years.

Anyway, Adam is a good kid.  I know one day he will accomplish great things, but it's only convincing him to believe that.  I had many hopes and dreams for him, but he doesn't seem to want to listen to his parents (suppose its the age thing).  Hopefully one day :?
