Brandon's 14th Birthday Bash

Brandon's birthday was earlier this week and some of the family got together today to help him celebrate his 14th. It doesn't seem like that long ago when I stood in the delivery room and watched him come into the world. Where does the time go?

Jack, Melissa and their boys came. Here is Griffyn playing the Guitar He*ro drums. He takes drumming at the Native Center.

Melissa, Griffyn and Tarryn. Tarryn is teething and had a bit of a fever. It was down while he was at the party, but Melissa let me know that it is up again. I told her it's common for fevers to go up at night.

Great-grandma (my mother) Melissa and the boys. Both of those boys adore Mom.

Well, the party has begun and Brandon is opening his gifts. Here, he's reading a card from great-Grandma. She gave him two golf shirts and $10 for a school trip later in June.

Brandon with his take for the day. Yeap, that is good old Canadian dollars. He loves getting money.
Here he is on his new bike. He picked it out himself yesterday. It's maroon and is a Mongoose Sting. I've never heard of that kind of bike, but it is a beauty.

You can see it a little better in this photo. He's watching Jordan who's riding his bike down the street.

And above, Jordan on his bike. It was new last summer. He got it for his 11th birthday.
Brandon's paternal grandfather's birthday was today, so Michelle had the cake decorated for both of them.

We had a BBQ. The hotdogs and sausage was delicious. The cake was chocolate and was very good. I allowed myself a very small piece. After all, Brandon will never turn 14 again. I had to celebrate a little.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. It was cool and breezy here. Friday and Saturday was very wet and it is to rain again tomorrow.
