Wow!!! Can you believe it??!! Zach turned 14 years old today... look out!! Since we are all gone from the house in the morning when he gets up for school, I called him to wish him a "Happy Birthday" before he went to school. When everyone was home tonight, we gave him his gifts. He opened his cards and then his gift, which was a movie (Delta Farce with Larry the CableGuy) and a driving manual to study for his permit!! What he really wanted for his birthday was an iPod nano, but it wasn't in the box!!! He never said a word, though!!! Of course I bought it for him, but I thought we would have a little fun with it!! Brianna and I set the iPod on the counter behind him to see how long it would take for him to notice it... we should have known we would have to practically smack him in the face with it!!! For his birthday cake, he wanted Scotcheroos, so that is what I made. When it came time to cut the bars, I asked him to get a knife (which is in a drawer located directly below the counter that the iPod was sitting on!) He didn't even see it!! Brianna is doing all kinds of things trying to get him to look over there, such as pointing in that direction, etc. but he still doesn't catch on. She even asked him for a paper towel, which was directly above the iPod... still didn't see it!!! When I finally told him to do the dishes before we went out to eat for his birthday, he finally took a look at the counter and noticed the iPod!!! His face lit up like Christmas!!! He even had to go and download the songs off the iPod Shuffle he already has and put them on his new iPod! Brianna loved it because he told her she could have the iPod Shuffle!!! We went out to eat for supper, and the tradition in our house is that the birthday person gets to pick anywhere they want to go for supper. Zach picked Buffalo Wild Wings, which is like a sports bar for those of you who might not be familiar with this place. We all ate and got stuffed and came back home to get ready for bed. Zach really wanted to get the iPod Shuffle ready for his sister, so he went down on the computer after we got home and deleted all his songs off of it and put songs on that Brianna wanted on there! Of course, that would be every High School Musical song, anything sung by Hannah Montana, etc. She is so excited to have her own iPod now!!! Now everyone is in bed and I am sitting here still trying to get over the shock that my first born turned 14 years old today... WOW... it sure doesn't seem like he has been in this world that long! Once the shock wears off, he will probably be asking me to take him to the drivers license station to get his permit... Oh, God!! Can we just keep them young??!!! I don't know how parents do it... dealing with this stuff!! I guess I am about to find out... anyway, "HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY, ZACH!!!" LOVE YOU!!!
