Anthony's 17th Birthday




Well Friday was Anthony's birthday. I can't believe he is 17 years old now. We started the day in the traditional fashion with the "Breakfast Donut". Needless to say we could not fit 17 candles on one donut. He had requested that the "Birthday Fairy" not come to visit him so she paid someone else a visit somewhere. We sang and did presents and then he picked up Ben Hansen to go to Mr. Higgins bible study. We took lunch to him, Lenny's chicken philly. Then that night we went on to a basketball game at Hillcrest. (disaster) On Saturday, Uncle Jim had gotten us tickets to go to a MSU basketball game vs. Arkansas! How exciting. We were down at 15 at the half and went on to win by like 8 or 9.....GO DOGS! Amanda and I had never been to a game in the Hump. It was so fun. Bailey Howell's jersey got retired at the half. That is Anthony's friend Ben Hansen's grandaddy. Ben's uncle is also an assistant Athletic Director at MSU and will hopefully be a great help getting Anthony a job with the team while he is in school there. We went to see Mamaw after the game and then came on home. What a great birthday weekend!

Great pics! I will put in my "I can't believe Anthony is 17!!!" It seems like yesterday that we were all in the waiting room - left early from school and still watched the sunset before our sweet cone head decided to turn over/around and come on out. I'm glad Anth had a good birthday. We miss you guys! Love you lots. Julz & Mark :-)
