Now- I'm old.

Thought some of you "veteran DSPers" would enjoy this.....

It's hard to believe, especially since Tate was 7 when the site opened, but I am now the mother of a TEENAGER!!!

That's right, today is Tate's 13th birthday!

Happy Birthday to Tate! Is he behaving like a teenage boy?

*Jill W* · 04-09-2010, 02:41 PM

Happy Birthday to Tate!!

And

for Mom and Dad ... Remember the bigger the boy - the bigger ($$!!) their toys!

Happy Birthday Tate!

Tina, I should be able to think of something witty and sarcastic for this moment, but since I'm sharing it with you (Savannah turned 13 last July) I think I'll be silent and wise.

No, Tina, now you are young, and so enjoy them...

When your grandkids are that age.. then come back and say you are old...

Enjoy him, and happy happy birthday... keep every single memory.. .

but, then how can a mama not?

Happy Birthday, TATE!!

When I joined, Andrew was 14. His draft card came in the mail today. Our oldest son, Ryan, had one child when I joined. Now he has 3.

No, Tina, you are not old - my dd is 31 and my dgs just turned 1 yesterday! Actually, one of my cats will be 13 in August! So, China Cat is almost as old as Tate!

And,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TATE!

**Tina** · 04-09-2010, 11:27 PM

here's the layout

Thanks for the bday wishes, he's been sick for a few days tho

I'm LOL that China Cat is as old as Tate too

Tate's a Teen!

*just-pjz* · 04-10-2010, 12:08 AM

oh, that's a bummer he's sick for his birthday!
Great LO Tina. He is growing up...I still remember your "it''s not everyday a young man turns 11" LO! I'm a HP fan too and I thought that was such a great idea/quote to use but I figured by the time mine turn 11 (still 3 more years!) I'd forget to use it!
