He is 13!!!

Officially a teenager...

Walker always has the short end of the deal for birthdays... its always near the last day of school and with all the end of school year craziness and Memorial Day weekend his Birthday's have always been low key... which he probably actually prefers!  This year was a big milestone year though... since he was finally able to get social media (youtube, instagram, twitter, snapchat etc).

And while he was excited to finally get those things its not for friend chatting or posting pictures... it's for making youtube videos of game playing! With some cleverly wrapped birthday presents...

which included a web cam, a microphone and a new gaming keyboard, he was ready to start youtubing!  This is currently the scene now...

He didn't want a birthday party with friends... or a fire pit party... just dinner at Red Lobster with us... sour cream rhubarb pie and online gaming with his actual school friends!

I can't believe my Little Bug... is not so little anymore... sniff... sniff.

At 13 years old he... still loves being home with us watching a movie on a Friday night!! He knows lots of kiddos but prefers to have just a couple close friends. He is a morning person and seems to always be looking for snacks!  He is taller than me now but still calls me Mommy... He always gives me morning and night hugs and always says love you through out the day.  He can talk your ear off with his endless computer game chat.  And when he and friends get playing a game online he is OH MY LOUD with the laughing and chatting and giving directions! He is one that will often come out at night and work on the puzzle with me.  He could care less about taking pictures and documenting his entire existence... and gets super irritated with Ainsley when she tries to take a picture of him for her snapchat or instagram feeds.  I try to respect that but sometimes have to beg for a picture of him or beg him to take a picture of what he is doing at scouts.

He is a super great kiddo and I'm super blessed to be his Mommy!
